Western & Eastern Province Wave Riders wade into Scottburgh

Former professional surfers Tammy Robarts & Penny Stemmet

getting ready for the Carnival.

One thing you can be guaranteed at the  Jeep Apparel South Coast Surf Carnival taking place November 26 and 27 is oodles of talent. Every year top Watermen and Women descend on Scottburgh to battle it out in the various divisions , this year is no exception and once again the Western and Eastern Cape are leading the way with top surfers entering in all the divisions and disciplines.

In the SUP division we have former professional surfers Tammy Robarts and Penny Stemmet. Two up and coming Cape Town youngsters Dylan and Francois Frick are also hoping to be in the final of this years Men’s SUP Open which is usually dominated by the Western Cape each year.


 The Waveski division sees world champions such as  Sandra Pienaar (Port Elizabeth) and Doug Copeland (Border) already entered and raring to go, the Waveski event takes place at back beach and this particular break is not for the weak kneed, which is probably a good thing that in this sport you sit down ! .

The Open longboarding division is wide open once again this year with last years Open champion Justin Bing (WP) not coming up due to study commitments, Jeep Team rider Dylan Macleod (EP) a former event champion will  be one to watch out for as will Ross Lahana (WP).


In the ladies longboarding division we have nine entries confirmed, this is a big field for ladies longboarding. One of the legends competing will be Bernie Shelly (WP) who at 64 years young will be up against South Africa's new wave of Women's surfing in the form of Sarah Baum - can it get more interesting than that ?.


But.. never count out the Natalians who will out in force to secure the titles remain in KZN this year.
