Global roaming, love and life found me based in Southern Africa exploring the continent for 10 years. Following dreams and passions, surfing perfect uncrowded points, drumming and learning from some of Africa’s best percussionists. I now live in Pottsville Beach NNSW Australia, the control hub and base of Sangoma Fins.
Whilst living in Africa, I was introduced to a family that had dedicated their life to learning the craft of
handmade surfboard fins
. Fin making has been apart of this family since 1966 and they operate out of a small holding located deep within rural South Africa, not far away from some magical point breaks. The crew involved with the making your fins are cut from the cloth of the new South Africa. They are surfers and watermen rich in knowledge that has been passed down the line from there elders. An eclectic blend of cultures working together, all family men with 2/3 children and years of experience dedicated to the craft. All living within the rural community surrounding the farm and love surfing. When you love what you do the quality shines through ☺ and we all love what we do !
