" On the Atlantic coast, domestic tourism is already blooming at an oceanfront tent lodge at Robertsport, a sleepy town on the edge of Sierra Leone, where 10-foot swells lure surfing enthusiasts.At Nana's Lodge, visitors can stay in large tents with double beds, a mini-fridge and an attached deck for $100 a night.

Alfred Lomax, a Liberian surfer featured in the 2008 documentary "Sliding Liberia," has a dream to run a surfing business at Robertsport. He found a body board during the war while scavenging Monrovia's port for rice and he taught himself to surf.
On his Web site, http://www.surfingliberia.com/, he offers to show surfers the waves in Monrovia and Robertsport.
His dream is big, but business is slow right now.
"Like most everything in Liberia, this site is currently under construction," he wrote on his Web site"
