Meet the Founders
A Family of Adventurers, On a Mission to Share the Stoke
In 2019, Jon and Kirsty Colledge sold their home, bought a boat, and set sail through the med with their two young boys — aged just 2 and 4 at the time. Life on the water was their dream, and somewhere between ocean crossings and remote anchorages, they discovered something that changed everything: efoiling.
The feeling of gliding effortlessly above the water was pure magic — like flying, but better. They were hooked.
After researching the global market, Jon and Kirsty found Waydoo: one of the most innovative and best-value efoil brands out there. They knew South Africa needed to experience it too. So they partnered with Waydoo and brought the boards home, becoming the official and exclusive distributors in the country.
Since then, they’ve been on a mission to grow the local efoiling community — one ride, one grin, and one lift-off at a time.
Their passion for the ocean and sense of adventure flows into everything they do. With a focus on accessibility, support, and fun, Waydoo South Africa offers demos, rentals, and sales to help people across the country experience the joy of flying over water.
