Sunday July 4, 2020 - With a display of huge airs, powerful surfing and excellent tube riding Beyrick de Fries took down fellow Durbanite Chad du Toit in an awesome final that was very pleasing on the eye in the Mr Price Pro Ballito boys final today! Beyrick had a combined score of 18.35 out of a possible 20 to Chad’s 15.25. Both these surfers in the boys final today are know for their big airs and I often found that Beyrick rides the wave too softly in the beginning looking for the big air at the end, but today he really impressed me, surfing top to bottom with speed and power throwing big spray and then still finishing with a huge air, hence he was rewarded the massive scores, Well Done Beyrick!
In the Lady’s final Sarah Baum once again showed that she is one of the best Surfers in South Africa and showed signs of a great future! The young goofy footer surfed powerfully with confidence to out surf East London’s Alice McGregor scoring a total of 13 out of 20 to Alice’s 6.5.
The waves today in the Mr Price Pro Ballito where a little inconsistent and tricky but when the set waves came they where really good offering everything from great tube rides to big turns and high Aerial moves!
The weather was grand down here today and the atmosphere was awesome with families, locals and holidaymakers soaking up the sun and the hot action!
Check in again tomorrow for my view on the days action on Big Foot Blog.
