Jbay Surf Retreats

Surf Jeffreys Bay with World Longboard Champion Steven Sawyer

An 8-day small-group coaching retreat at Supertubes.
Only 8 spots per retreat. Two dates available in 2026 and 2027.

JBSR x Steven Sawyer

High-End Coaching Week with a World Champion

Jeffreys Bay is the best right-hand point break on earth. Supertubes is where careers are made. And Steven Sawyer grew up surfing it.

In 2018, Steven became the WSL World Longboard Champion, defeating three-time title holder Taylor Jensen in a performance that put South African surfing on the world stage. Now he is inviting a small group of surfers back to the wave he knows better than anyone for a week of serious coaching, daily sessions, and shared evenings at Dreamland.

This is not a surf holiday. It is a week that will change how you surf.

About Steven Sawyer

Steven Sawyer grew up surfing the breaks of Jeffreys Bay. He has spent his life reading Supertubes from every angle, in every swell, at every tide.

In 2018 he became the WSL World Longboard Champion in Taiwan, defeating three-time reigning champion Taylor Jensen along the way. His surfing is built on footwork, timing, and a deep understanding of how a wave moves — the kind of knowledge that takes years to develop and cannot be found in a video tutorial.

Steven is not a guest coach flown in for the occasion. He lives here. This is his home break. And for one week he is opening that knowledge up to a small group of surfers who are serious about their craft.

“The accommodation was right by the ocean, which made the whole experience even more special. Every morning started with a fresh breakfast followed by expertly guided surf sessions with Steven. I learned a lot, had so much fun in the water, and truly enjoyed the whole atmosphere. Highly recommended.”
