Oddesea Surf

About Us

Our story begins back in 2000 when Oddesea Surf was established as South Africa's first Surf School company of its kind.
Oddesea Surf identified a need in the market for beginners wanting to learn to surf and for advanced surfers wanting to gain experience in the surfing competition field. Oddesea Surf evolved over the years originally offering advanced Surf Coaching to younger students and a Surf School for the international travelers wanting to learn to surf. The company now offers 1, 5 & 12 Day Surf Tours and Custom Tours. We cater for beginner, intermediate and experienced surfers that are searching for a surfing experience never to be forgotten.

Newport, Cali - Perranporth, UK - Cape Town, South Africa

In 2008 Oddesea Surf was launched in 3 different locations around the world. Oddesea was started in Cape Town, South Africa where the ocean has so much to offer and a great location to learn to surf with beginner surf to some of the world biggest and heaviest surf in the world like our world famous big wave spot "DUNGEONS"

We then explored to the region of the United Kingdom on the Cornwall Coast. There was a big demand for surf lessons in the Summer time with School Camps and Surf Expo's as the Holidays would bring in many people from all around the country and abroad wanting to experience the stoke of surfing.

Finally we have restructured Oddesea Surf and established new head quarters in Beautiful, Sunny California. Where the surf is fun and exiting all year round with some of the world most famous beaches that molded the future of what surfing is today. California is a true specticle of the surfer lifestyle with great weather all year round and many different surf locations within close distances.

Meet the Crew



Alex Molde
Managing Director

Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, I grew up surfing the small and messy surf at my local surf spot Muizenberg Beach. This was my stepping ground as I caught my first wave there over 15years ago. It will always be my home!

Surfing has changed my life, literally and once you get hooked on the stoke of it you will see why! I started Oddesea Surf years back coaching younger surf students on a advanced level as i had accomplished many surfing accreditations throughout my surfing years. I saw a massive gap in the market for kids with great potential that just weren't getting the full package and needed a little help to become the country's next best surfer.

I started with a small group of 6 kids and within the first 3 months of coaching and training, 4 out of my 6 students had made the provincial surf team to compete on the highest level of suring in the country and 2 of them to place 1st and 2nd in the South African Champs.

Now Oddesea Surf offers various Packages and Tours to suit your individual needs as we know everyone is different. We cater for anything surf related so don't hesitate to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it anytime with your requirements. We look forward to sharing the stoke with you.

Shannon Power
Business Development Manager

I am originally from New Jersey, and I have lived in a few different countries from my early age. I currently live in California and its really beautiful. I love the people, nature, culture and stunning coastlines with variety of surf breaks. I am only a novice surfer but once I got started I was hooked thanks to the guys at Oddesea Surf.

I have always loved the ocean and my super rad dog Jasmine, we try spent as much time at the beach as possible as Jasmine tries to surf on my surfboard which is great. I scuba dive and snorkel as often as I can and love the surfing lifestyle that has become my life.

If you are interested in partnering up with us at Oddesea Surf please contact me so we can get together and share our love of the surfing lifestyle with together.

Surfing has become a huge part of my life. I basically surround myself with surfing everyday. First thing I do when I wake up is check the surf report, if its any good im down there for at least 3hours before starting my day.

I have been working for Oddesea for over two years now and made so many friends surfing and travelling with the guys. I have been fortunate enough to surf some of the world's best waves in surf spots people barely think of when traveling. I have surf Ireland, South Africa, Australia, Portugal, France, Spain, Morocco, USA, Brazil, Bali and Hawaii.

My favorite surfboard out of the seven that I have is my 6"2 quad shaped by "Bru Surfboards" which I use for most conditions.

Hope to see ya in the surf sometime!
