Sixteen year old Sam Cele of North Beach, Durban, South Africa (pictured) made World Surf League history by becoming the first Zulu female surfer to compete in a World Surf League Event at the QS1000 rated Ballito Pro Presented by Billabong in Ballito, KwaDukuza.
The Ballito Pro Presented by Billabong is an international surf and lifestyle event hosted in Ballito, the jewel of KwaZulu-Natal's North Coast. This event is a strategic partnership between World Surf League (WSL) and the KwaDukuza Municipality, together with various public and private sector partners.
In 2015 Billabong took the baton from Mr Price, agreeing to carry on the proud legacy of the world's longest running professional surfing event as it enters its 47th year. The festival runs from June 28 to July 5 and with over 10 000 visitors enjoying festivities last year 2015 promises to be bigger and better than ever and anticipates record numbers.
