About Surf Expo Africa 2026
Surf Expo Africa, held at the CTICC in Cape Town from 6–8 November 2026, is Africa’s first all‑ocean sport, beach‑lifestyle trade show. The three‑day expo showcases a wide range of exhibitors covering surf, windsurf, paddle‑boarding, swimwear, wellness, travel gear, apparel and hard‑goods. Attendees can explore new brands, meet manufacturers, and source products for retail. The event also features a robust program of guest speakers—including professional big‑wave surfer Matt Bromley, freediver and ocean‑conservationist Hanli Prinsloo, and inspirational speaker Greg Bertish—alongside fashion shows, seminars, networking sessions and live demos. Buyers, retailers, distributors and media gather to connect, negotiate deals, and stay on top of industry trends. Additional activities are scheduled across three days (28–30 November) with performances and workshops, complementing the main expo. The show aims to strengthen the ocean‑sport community, promote sustainability, and drive business growth across the African market.
