Make waves at upcoming surfing competition

THE Wave Wizzards based in Umhlanga will have its first surfing competition on Saturday, 11 February at Umhlanga’s Bronze Beach which is situated slightly North of the Main Umhlanga Beach.

The club which has been running for more than 30 years has big plans for 2017 and has many surfers from Pinetown, Westville and Hillcrest.

Lizzard Surf and Hurricane Surf are both supporting the club in 2017 and the intention is to develop new youngsters and encourage the older surfers to enjoy the community aspect of the sport. 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.

Club chairman, Jestyn Viljoen said they 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 children involved in judging,” said Viljoen.

He added that they welcome surfers from all regions to join the club.

Entry forms can be collected from Hurricane Surf in Durban, Surf Sessions Shop in Umhlanga or downloaded from the Wave Wizards Facebook site: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2560137034
