Umhlanga Lizzard Nature Valley Surf Fest Great Success

Umhlanga Lizzard Nature Valley Surf Fest Great Success

Date: 2013-12-13
The Umhlanga Lizzard Nature Valley Surf Fest was held at Umhlanga's Main Beach on 7/8 December 2013. This event opens up the 2013 Umhlanga Summer Carnival Festivities.

Held in 2-3 foot contestable waves with slight North Easterly winds - surfers were able to really turn on their performances and win the many prizes on offer.

Young Lizzy surfer Gaby Lailvaux (11) had an exceptional contest when she won both the u12 girls and the u14 girls division. Plus Gaby won half of the R2500 on offer for the girl who had the highest wave score. Gaby has made her parents Rein and Gina Van de Wall very proud because she also won Surfer of the Year at her school Atholton Primary. Her grandparents Paul and Shaz van de Wall could not be happier. Paul ran the surf shop in Umhlanga for many years and coached many youngsters to surf over the years.

Umhlanga's Teal Hogg also had a great weekend. Coming 2nd in the U20 girls and 3rd in the Open ladies. Plus winning half of the R2500 for high score and taking the R1000 for the paddle battle. Teal also won the South African Surfing Champs this year placing her directly into the South African Surfing Team, and getting her 'green blazer' for the first time.

Gavin Roberts - Media Marketing for Lizzard was thrilled with the event and said "Yet again Umhlanga produced the goods. The weather held out and the waves were fun for the surfers. It was also great that all the surfers had free Granola Bars and Haagendazs IceCream all weekend - that was a real treat'.
