Wave Wizards aims to grow surfing among youth
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.
UMHLANGA based Wave Wizards Surf Club which has been running for over 30 years has big plans for 2017.
The first surfing competition is planned for Saturday, 11 February at Umhlanga’s Bronze Beach which is situated slightly north of the main Umhlanga Beach.
Lizzard Surf and Hurricane Surf are both supporting the club in 2017 and the intention is to develop new youngsters to surf while encouraging older surfers back to enjoy the community aspect of the sport.
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.
‘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 children involved in judging. We welcome surfers from all regions to join’, said club chairman Jestyn Vijoen.
Entry forms can be collected from Hurricane Surf in Durban, or Surf Sessions Shop in Umhlanga or downloaded from the Wave Wizards Facebook page
