Enter Wave Wizards contest

WAVE Wizards Surf Club has big plans for 2017, and starts its year off with a bang with the first surfing competition planned for Saturday, 11 February.

Entries are open for the event, which will be at Umhlanga’s Bronze Beach. The age groups will range from novices in both boys and girls divisions to masters, and all surfers are welcome to enjoy a day of fun with family and friends.

Lizzard Surf and Hurricane Surf are both supporting the club in 2017, and club chairman, Jestyn Vijoen, said the intention is to develop new youngsters in surfing, as well as encourage the older surfers to enjoy the community aspect of the sport.

Vijoen said: “We plan to run at least four events this year. We will be crowning series winners and will take a surfer’s top two results of at least three events surfed. Wave Wizards Club has been the breeding ground for many successful international world surfers. This year we want to bring back the culture of ‘fun in the sun with the whole family’ and get the kids involved in judging. We welcome surfers from all regions to join.”

Entry forms can be collected from Hurricane Surf in Durban or Surf Sessions Shop in Umhlanga or downloaded from the Wave Wizards Facebook site:
