Something Special for Friday
As part of the weekend, the Tiger’s Milk Outreach session will be happening on Friday, June 30, and it’s always a highlight.
Young surfers from local community outreach programmes will hit the water for a fun tag-team surf contest. These are organisations that use surfing to inspire and uplift kids from marginalised communities. The energy is always electric.
The format is simple: teams of four, all working together, so everyone is involved and has a part to play. It’s not about the results but more about the fun element. Every kid walks away with a medal, a grin, and some great memories.
Each participant will enjoy refreshments and a meal, followed by a prizegiving, at the Tigers Milk restaurant in Surfers Corner once the competition is completed.
The main surfing and longboarding event kicks off bright and early on Saturday, wrapping up with the final rounds on Sunday.
Prizemoney
There is R37,500 in prize money on offer across the six divisions.
Wave scores and heat results will be published on https://www.liveheats.com/. This is as they are posted by the judges on both days of the competition.
