New sponsor for Durban surfer
James Ribbink has been nominated as an alternate invite to the Cell C Goodwave invitation-only surf contest at New Pier in Durban.
VISSLA South Africa has signed up young Durban surfer James Ribbink.
The 14-year-old surfer has a string of excellent results behind him in his own age group, and was recently nominated as an alternate invite to the Cell C Goodwave invitation-only surf contest at New Pier in Durban, the youngest surfer in the country to be considered for the event.
Apart from winning surf tournaments, James is well traveled, having visited Indonesia many times, recently surfed the famous Donkey Bay in Namibia with last year’s 5th rated Championship Tour surfer Jordy Smith, and often heads down to Jeffreys Bay to meet the south-west swells heading up the coast from Cape Town.
James will join World Surf League Longboarding World Champion Steve Sawyer from JBay, and the two of them will be the marquee surfers representing Vissla in the country.
