Llandudno Beach, Cape Town, South Africa, on a picture perfect day in mid-February was the place to be for classic beach vibes and good times for all ages. The third annual RVCA Rolling Retro event went down in glassy, fun waves with surfboards provided by The Surfboard Warehouse and Vudu Surfboards whose origins spanned multiple generations. Here is a little of what went down. Hope to see you there next year!
