Last night saw the South African Surfing awards presented by Zigzag. It was an awesome evening as we watched the proud surfers receive their prestigious awards. This function is growing from strength to strength and this years 80’s theme saw the after party going till early hours of the morning with celebrations.
When the dust settled this morning we were greeted to some fun 3 foot surf at Surfers and the Mr. Price Pro Ballito main event got underway with Number 1 seed and South African surfer of the year Jordy Smith taking to the water. Jordy was impressive as always winning his heat with Ryan Balfour second. Heat 2 saw Dan Redman dominating with Quinton Jones second. Shaun Joubert and Red Surf team rider Gary van Wieringan advanced through heat 3 before the contest was called off due to deteriorating surf and strong Easterly winds. I have just come in from a Surf at the contest site, it is all over the place and howling onshore so it was a good call to stop the event. We have a favorable forecast for the rest of the week so we should get some great surf. There is a 7 o’clock call in the morning for a 7:30 Call.
See you down there!
