Hi there, let me introduce myself.

My name is Ryan Ribbink and I am passionate about surfing! I have been surfing for 25 years now and have had the honour of representing my province (KwaZulu Natal - Durban) in surfing on many occasions and have also obtained my national (South African) surfing colours. I have also won the South African masters and seniors surfing titles, this should show that my surfing abilities are way above average. Living in Durban has allowed me to have some of the most amazing surf trips up and down the coast over the past few years - traveling with friends to well known and isolated spots to experience those surfing memories, so that only the people that are there to share it, can reminisce about it for hours on end.

I have now taken that passion and experience one step further, and would like other surfers to also experience some of the awesome surfing moments that I have had. I offer surf trips throughout Southern Africa from Cape Town all the way up into deepest and most unspoilt parts of Mozambique. My knowledge of all these places is extensive, and this obviously helps in knowing what time of year and conditions best suits each particular area. In South Africa and Mozambique we have a wide variety of beach breaks, left and right peaks, and perfect point breaks, mostly rights but also with the odd left point break here and there, so there are lots of different types of waves to surf.


Ever since I can remember all I wanted to do was to become a professional surfer, traveling and surfing all the best surf breaks in the world was my dream. This dream fueled my passion and helped me make that dream come true.

Being an ex professional Surfer for over 8 year and doing 10 winters in Hawaii, travelling is in my blood and surf trips never leave me.

Its all about the experience, things going right and things going wrong that make me who I am today. And a little part of me wishes to give back in good surf trips and good stories.

A beautiful part of Africa is where I was brought up, my first promise to myself before I travelled abroad was to travel my own beautiful coastline intensely from the age of 15yrs.

With good times ahead and endless rides beconing my back garden, Bink Tours is one of the experiences meant to be touched by all.
