Hey all,

Im just recently arrived in Lagos, Nigeria and Im a Australian. I left my surfboard at home because i had too much baggage. I want to go for a surf (probably Tarqua bay or shipwrecks) but i need a board. I was wondering if there was anyone here who surfed and could lend me a board, or where i could buy one etc.

It would be really cool to meet up with other surfers here.

Cheers

Ned.

Hi Ned,

There's an Italian that comes to Lekki Beach to surf every weekend. I really never got to speak with him but i have seen him a couple of times. Try and see if you can catch him by say afternoon.

Wish you luck.

Sure thing Jimmy, it looks like im almost there. Thinking maybe next weekend or the one after that. Send me a personal message and we'll exchange phone numbers. Itd be good to have a buddy to style down the line with.

Cheers.

Hi JoeZabbs,

Please note that this thread is quite old and you may not have any reply from the members.

However, please note that you already posted another discussion about Surfing buddies required on the Nigeria forum.

I am sure you will get some replies there very soon.

Thank you
