Saffa Surf Tours Goes Green

Overberg, South Africa, February 04, 2018 --(PR.com)-- The newly renovated Saffa Surf Headquarters has gone green. The founders, Ruan de Bruin & Tracey Roberts have placed a sizeable emphasis on keeping the company’s environmental impact as low as possible by implementing earth friendly practices.

"Our lives revolve around nature. We spend our days in the ocean, on mountain trails, beneath waterfalls & on beaches. It’s for this reason that we place such a big emphasis on keeping our environmental impact low," says founder, Ruan de Bruin.

The guided South African surf tour company launched on the 5th of January 2018. The dynamic business model offers fully customizable South African surf trips to foreign surf travellers. The tours are guided by locals that are dedicated to showing their guests the best waves of their lives. Surf conditions are closely monitored by the local guides. Each surf trip is planned in search of the "dream African barrel" that their visitors are after.

All tours include accommodation, breakfast, beverages, snacks & refreshments, transport, and a number of additional add-on activities for non-surf days. The tours are nature-centric. On off days, activities include guided hikes, trips to waterfalls, shark-cage diving, scenic peninsula drives to Cape Point and more.

A Focus On Earth Friendly Practices
The newly renovated surf house is nestled in the Overberg, between mountains & the ocean. Just one minute’s walk from the beach, and 5 minutes from your nearest cafe or supermarket, it’s ideal for any traveller.

The house features solar water heating, an organic vegetable garden, a composting system & a user-friendly recycling system. All guests are encouraged to reduce their use of single-use plastic, and make use of earth friendly alternatives.

The team uses as many sustainable vegetables & fruit from their garden as possible when making their guests breakfast. They were surprised by how easy it was to reduce their carbon footprint, once they had set your mind to it. The small things, they say, end up becoming the big things.
