Competitors showed off their skills in Scottburgh at the recent Cutty Sark Pro presented by SMTH Shapes. Adaptive surfers also took to the water in the Made for More Surf Contest, with both contests forming part of the Ocean Festival programme, hosted to commemorate World Oceans Day and encourage ocean conservation and enjoyment.
“We are grateful to everyone who came together to make the Ocean Festival a success,” said Russel Symcox, Ocean Festival founder.
“Congratulations to all our surfing competitors who embodied the spirit of ocean celebration while putting on an impressive performance for event spectators. We believe this is the start of something fantastic that showcases the best of the KZN South Coast, from its people to its natural assets!”
Head judge of the Cutty Sark Pro, Wade Botha, said it was great to have a major surf contest back in Scottburgh.
“From the judging side, it was so refreshing to have the surfers competing in really good waves – which is quite a rarity in surfing contests,” he said.
“Standouts in the junior side were Ballito’s Nathan Taylor who dominated the U14 division, the LePront siblings are always turning heads at events, as well as Clayton Turrell. On the senior side, Gavin Roberts, Tide Lee Ireland and Nate Colby were dropping big scores all over the event!”
