Perfect waves expected for Durban Surf Carnival

Perfect waves expected for Durban Surf Carnival

Date: 2012-06-06
With only two weeks to go before South Africa's top watermen and women descend on Durban, there is no shortage of talent as the entries continue to fly in for this much-anticipated event. The Durban Surf Carnival presented by Jeep Apparel is set to take place at New Pier from 15 to 17 June 2012 and given the recent excellent surf, the organizers are expecting perfect winter waves for the event. The Durban Surf Carnival consists of a Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) event, a Waveski contest as well as a Longboard surfing championships.

All of the divisions are filling up quickly and at this stage it appears as though the Western Cape is going to dominate by numbers in the SUP and Longboard events, with a major showing of Eastern Cape surfers in the Wave ski division. The weather predictions show favourable conditions for the event with several cold fronts heading up the east coast, this usually means perfect winter swell conditions for Durban's protected beachfront.

Due to the high number of entries, the organisers have the option of utilising split venues for this event.

The event will offer other surprises and action for the contestants and the general public who can get involved in the 'Snapshot' photo competition and a free surfing clinic.

The Mad Dog Surf School which has become a regular feature of the event will be run by Shaun Sellman and his experienced crew will be giving free surfing lessons open to all members of the public.
