Most people with a love for surfing have considered packing in the nine to five and riding waves all day, but not everyone has the courage to make it happen.

Well, if you’re going to make surfing your life there are few better places to call home than Jeffreys Bay, and that’s exactly where Bruce Gold has set up shop for almost 50 years.

Anders Melchior has uploaded a brilliant video to Vimeo detailing the life and times of Bruce, complete with this description:
