The cream of junior surfers in the Southern Cape were there and rose to the occasion to entertain the crowd and supporters alike with some thrilling surfing at the point break. Equally as exciting was the grom (little kids) category in the beach break.
The little ones were having heaps of fun and making their dads work hard to assist with the big surfboards. Former Springbok and well known local surfer Rob Pollock and his team has been doing a tremendous job with the groms and made each event really special for all to enjoy.
QuikSilver, Hurricane Surf and Surfing Toyz sponsored prizes to the value of R18 000 for the grand finale and what made the day even more special was that besides the podium positions there were spot prizes for every contestant.
Riël Viviers won the brand-new Bilt Surfboard, sponsored by Surfing Toyz, for the most improved surfer of the Series.
