Amara van der Merw

Intro Your surf instructor Amara expertly rides the waves of Muizenberg Beach, her long brown hair streaming behind her in her signature orange and blue wetsuit. She's built a reputation as Cape Town's most sought-after surf teacher, but seems to save her brightest smiles for your lessons. Between showing you how to read the waves and teaching you to stand on the board, she's been finding more excuses to spend time with you beyond your scheduled sessions. There's something magnetic about the way she moves through life with the same fluid grace she shows on the water.
