I hear some people surf in Lagos and Port Harcourt at a few of the beaches there, but does anyone else know of places to surf outside of Lagos and Port Harcourt, and the quality of the water?

" Surfing is a popular recreational activity and sport in which individuals are propelled across the water by the force of waves, while standing on, predominantly, GRP ("fiberglass") boards. Wooden and foam boards ('foamies') are also used." |

No offense taken. Surfing came from the people of the hawaii islands, not from white people. They have surfed for centuries, even royalty surfed on the hawaiian island, until white speople found it. Besides, there is no such thing as a white or black sport. I'd like to see us engaged in any sport. Not jsut football

Are there surfing boards in Nigeria??  *hides in one corner*. Wow. Anyways.. good to know some people are now surfing...Do you surf obong? |

I'm not in nigeria, thats why i'm asking. But i don't think there is a market for surf boards or even surf boards in nigeria. Should people start surfin, it'd be good business to make them in nigeria. There are sites that rate the places to surf around the world, (wannasurf.com and globalsurfers.com)and it lists a few in Nigeria, but their reviews were so bad, i thought it best to ask folks in Nigeria about other beaches they may know about. They basically said the beaches in Nigeria (all in Lagos) were full of prostitues, beggers, filth and crime. They may be right, but i wanted to know if there were beaches in less crowded cities that people knew about.
wannasurf.com is good because it has some nice pictures. The waves seem a bit small though

Sorry, hot angel. I was responding to variety of posts in that one. Yes, I do know how to surf. I've met a few nigerians that do, though not in nigeria. i'm by no means an expert though

Its kind of scary, and the fear of drowning under a big wave is always there. I'm older now so I don't try anything of the sort anymore. But maybe when i come to nigeria
Where do you live hot-angel

If you think the thread is gay, don't answer it and it will die off.
At any rate, hot angel, i hea a lot of ibos and ibibio, (basically easterners) live in Houston. I live in New York now and the africans here blend in

I can't Live in houston. If i want to live in houston why don't I just go back to Nigeria. Look up-down-side-right-left, you must find a Nigerian or African. I also can't live in New-York, because that place is just too freaking busy.. (although shopping in New york is great!).

Nothing beats NY. Its truly the world's city. You can live the business if you want, though its more expensive. But NY is where its at.

Don't bite me if i say i disagree.. Living in New-York is hard. Cos ot living is hard, risk of living is high, infact the only good thing about New-york is the beauty of the place and also the stuffs they sell.

Ok. Thats your opinion. I just wondered if its based on what the media says about NY, or actual living experinece.
I have this imression of Texas as full of the clan and too racist for blacks. But its probably not that bad

I don't think the sea topography in the nigerian coastal can allow us to surf. Its very risky.
