Richard Kidd in action

Richard Kidd in action

Date: 2015-01-16

Rising Star Richard Kidd excelled at the recent Lizzard Hurricane Surf Event in December. Richard made finals in both the u18 boys and the open men division. He also won the R1000 cash 'blowing up' award from Zigzag Surfing Magazine.

The competition was hosted by Wave Wizards Surf Club and held in association with Surfing South Africa and marked the start of a very successful Umhlanga Summer Festival.

Richard now has his sights firmly on making the SA Team for 2015. The trials will be held on 30 January on the South Coast of KZN. Only four surfers get included in the u18 boys division and there will be other locals Bevan Willis, Shane Sykes, Ntando Msibi who are also trying out for the team.

Richard was thrilled to have won the Zigzag Award and said 'Wow this was so unexpected and I am just so happy. Now I have some pocket money for the holidays'. All holidays must however end and it is back to school soon, but the wonderful summer heat and surf continue. The 2015 surf calendar is out and available on https://www.surfingsouthafrica.co.za
