Surfing The Life

Surfing The Life

Author: Tomas Yoko
Date: 2017-02-24

David van Zyl was born and grew up in Durban. He took to the ocean like a fish to water and has been carving out a significant surfing carrer for himself.

At home in the barrel as much as he is in Durban, David has earned his place as one of the Quiksilver Team Riders.

David is just 23 years old and lives in Glenashley, you will most likely see him in the barrel of the best surf anywhere along the north coast from Durban to Ballito, that is if he isn t travelling to another competition. I've been competing around the world for the last six years on the world Qualifying Series which has taken me to over twenty different countries but my main focus this year is to travel outside of the competition scene and get photos and good video footage in unique or undocumented places.

David s other passion is flying, so you might catch him taking off and landing at Virginia Airport or some such, I'm also doing my Pilots license and my goal for the future it's to try and combine the two.
