Dakar, Senegal Has Great Surf!

 

Have you ever wanted to surf at Dakar, Senegal? After watching these videos I definitely want to surf there! 


Senegal might not top the list of surfing spots at the moment – but it's worth keeping an eye on the West African destination. The surf scene there is growing rapidly, and it could even soon be hard to catch a wave all of your own. We met Khadjou Sambe, Senegal's first female pro surfer, and Babacar Thiaf, a local surfing pioneer to learn all about the Dakar buzz. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to DW Travel    / dwtravel   Would you like to find out more about DW Travel? ▸Website: dw.com/travel ▸Facebook: facebook.com/dw.travel ▸Instagram: instagram.com/dw_travel


DAKAR, SENEGAL - Welcome to Darkar, the largest and capital city in Senegal, West Africa! Today Pape and I are taking you on an ultimate Senegalese street food tour in Dakar - we’ll be visiting the local market, eating local dishes for lunch, fresh seafood in the afternoon, and finishing this day off with an ultimate grilled lamb Dibiterie feast. Let’s get started! Thank you to Pape Tatandiaye (Visit Senegal https://www.instagram.com/papetatandi...) Marché Kermel (https://goo.gl/maps/gtEk5eb6dRnjt8fJ7) - We started this tour today in the heart of central Dakar at one of the old markets known as Marché Kermel. It’s a small and manageable market to get a feeling for the ingredients that go into Senegalese food. At lunchtime just outside the market you’ll find a series of street food stalls that set up serving home cooked Senegalese food. You’ll find dishes like Thieboudienne (jollof rice), okra stew, sweet potato leave, mutton curry, and much more. The food is sensational, so much delicious flavors and huge plates of food. I love the “guana” local chili peppers that taste similar to scotch bonnet chilies. African Renaissance Monument - We then toured the African Renaissance Monument, one of the icons of Senegal and Africa, to symbolize the rebuilding of Africa after colonization, and to never forget the past slavery trade. 📱FOLLOW: Instagram: https://instagram.com/migrationology Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/migrationology


Dakar offers some of the best surfing in Senegal and all of West Africa. With world-class waves that swell at multiple beaches like Oukam, Yoff, and Ngor Island, Dakar should be on every surfer’s list.

Le Sénégal n'est pas vraiment connu pour être une terre du surf, pourtant il existe une vraie scène du côté de Dakar. Le pays possède plusieurs écoles de surf et il existe même une équipe nationale, composée de très bons surfeurs. En 2017, ils ont participé pour la première fois aux mondiaux de Surf à Biarritz. De Dakar à Biarritz, Riding Zone les a suivis. Pour s'abonner à la chaîne :    / ridingzone   Riding Zone, la référence des sports extrêmes en France depuis 2007. Tous les week-ends à la TV, tous les jours sur les réseaux sociaux. ▷ Facebook : http://goo.gl/Coizo5 ▷ Instagram : http://goo.gl/7QRqHo ▷ Twitter : http://goo.gl/rrMkFY ▷ The Rider Post - l'actu des sports extrêmes : http://goo.gl/GDtQbg


A short edit from my surf trip to Senegal in December 2021. Picked the very recommendable N'gor Right Surf Camp as accommodation!
