Taswin and Jean surfed so well today, advancing all the way through. OB got hard scoring from judges and missed making finals by 0.2, 5th place overall and a huge result for his first ever trip outside SA!
Focus then shifted to Jean and despite some pretty terrible waves he found a few gems, and finished in a close matchup coming 2nd to Senegalโs
So proud of how these two carried themselves, represented ๐ฟ๐ฆ and surfed at a high level throughout the event. Weโve had an awesome travel mission together in this beautiful country. And made a lot of new friends in English and French!
Big Thankyou to our hosts and for looking after us so well and running such a brilliant event.
Merci beaucoup a tous ๐จ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ณ๐ฑ๐ท๐ฌ๐ญ๐ธ๐ฑ

We have an exciting opportunity to send 2 local surfers to compete in the Ivory Coast Open 20-22 March in the beautiful Assinie, West Africa.
Last year was a lifechanging experience for our 2 surfers, who both did exceptionally well against Africa's best (1st and 7th!)
We'd love to make this happen again, but need support from the community to cover the costs of getting these young athletes to the big event. We need to raise R60k (โฌ3200) to cover flights, visas and basic travel expenses.
If you are a surfer who has enjoyed the gifts of the ocean, and especially surf travel, please consider throwing a few bones in the crowdfund below ๐ ๐โโ๏ธ ๐ฟ๐ฆ
