Throwback to SA Junior Surfing Championships

Throwback to SA Junior Surfing Championships.

The Sea Harvest SA Junior Surfing Champs took place at Lower Point in JBay from 1-5 October. It was always a massive and popular event. It saw a welcome return of the top juniors to the perfect waves of the Lower Point.

In a close battle between Cape Town Surfriders and Buffalo City, the prestigious Freedom Cup went to Cape Town Surfriders for amassing the most collective points across all divisions throughout the week.

As conditions deteriorated throughout the day, Connor Slijpen (Cape Town Surfriders) demonstrated his nimbleness in challenging, small onshore waves.

His performance was rewarded with a total of 12.18 (6.38 + 5.8) heat score and a U16 Boys division title.

OUR LOCAL SURFERS FARED WELL, WITH RORY AND JOEL DACE MAKING IT TO THE FINALS OF THEIR DIVISIONS, AS THEY ALWAYS DO.

The two came hot off of wins in the A Longboarding Champs the previous month but could not do enough in this event to claim their second title.
