Winter has truly arrived with cold fronts, short days, the sardine run and perfect waves. This means one thing, the South African leg of the Association of Surfing Professionals World Tour is around the corner and entries for the Mr Price Pro Ballito close today, June 8!
The three contest South African leg consists of the Mr Price Pro Ballito 5 Star event, the Billabong Pro JBay WCT and the O’Neill Cold Water Classic 4 Star Rated event in Cape Town. South Africa will be spoilt with the world’s most talented surfers taking to our waters and mixed with the very best local talent for a whole month of top class surfing spread along the coast!
Currently the world’s best female surfers are competing in the Movistar Peru Classic. South Africa’s two top ladies, Rosanne Hodge and Nikita Robb unfortunately lost out today finishing equal ninth. The women’s title race is really intensifying with world number one, Stephanie Gilmore, world number two Sally Fitzgibbons and local favorite, world number three Sofia Mulanovich all into the quarter-finals of the event!
Next week on the men’s World Tour will see the 6 star Sri Lankan Airlines Pro from June 18-24 at Arugam Bay, Sri Lanka. All of South Africa’s top One World Ratings surfers are competing over in Sri Lanka, so good luck to them over there, lets hope we get a winner before they return home for the Mr Price Pro Ballito 2010.
Remember to get entries in for the Mr Price Pro Ballito today! You don’t want to miss out on important points and the huge prize purse!
