More than 700 young competitors from around the country took part in the three-day event. Once again, Durban Surf Nippers romped home to claim their 6th back-to-back national club title, winning all the the age group aggregate trophies except one, and overall beating the second placed Club, Umhlanga Rox by a huge margin of 335 points.
