Surfers Announced For 2019 Cell C Goodwave Surf Contest

Surfers Announced For 2019 Cell C Goodwave Surf Contest

Date: 2019-01-18

Durban and the event organisers of the 2019 Cell C Goodwave have announced the invited surfers for the upcoming tournament. The one-year waiting period for this contest officially starts on Monday 21 January 2019.

The Cell C Goodwave is supported by Oakley and Bilt Surfboards, and the event will be hosted by California Dreaming.

The contest is a one-day event, with four-man heats and a sudden-death format of high performance surfing. It will be run on one of the best surfing days of the year at New Pier, with the call being made by contest director Jason Ribbink, along with surf forecasting guru Spike from Wavescape.

"It has been a challenge to find the right day to surf this event," said Ribbink, referring to the fact that the contest didn't run in 2018. "We are determined and confident however that we will get an excellent day of surf at the New Pier in the first quarter of 2019."

As a direct result of the competition not running, there has been an increase in the event prize-pool, with the first prize now up to R150k

Prize money allocation: 1st position R150k ; 2nd position R50k; 3rd position R20k; 4th position R10k and the Lee Wolins Award R10k

The 2018 Cell C Goodwave is officially listed as aWorld Surf League Specialty Event. The Cell C Goodwave is presented bySouth African Surfing Legends.
