If you enjoy surfing, don't miss your chance to book a spot in the exciting Lizzard Hurricane Surf Pro.
THE excitement of summer has begun and on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 December surfers will flock to the Umhlanga Main Beach to show their talents at the Lizzard Hurricane Surf Pro 2014 which kicks off the annual Umhlanga Summer Festival.

Patrick Frickel from Oceanriders Academy will be down at the beach offering free sports massages to all the surfers. Surfers will also get sun cream from Zinka SA.
Surfers of all ages are encouraged to enter and there will be both short board and long board divisions and the event will end in a retro-style 70’s tag team competition. In the final event a maximum of five teams will compete on very old surfboards for a cash prize of R1 250.
