Check out the Darts launching in South Africa in the Yachts and Yachting Photo Gallery. It makes launching at Abersoch look like flat pond.

A native of East London sits opposite me at work, he assures me that as East London is one of the best surfing breaks in the world, the waves are no surprise!

It's also full of sharks!!!

Is this why Darts are held at Lakeside?

Just don't be close by when they return as they surf in and shoot up the beach scattering bystanders!! I've seen the local fishing boats and it's scary as they don't have time to manoeuvre or care who's in the way

I used crew Hobies off Durban.
Launching was always interesting.

Nationals one year, four boats lost just launching.  Smashed to smithereens.
