Warning Bell to competition
Ballito's Sophie Bell did Salt Rock proud when she went to the top of the U16 girls ratings with victory in her division on Sunday.
Long Beach Kommetjie produced perfect surf and ideal conditions for both days of the inaugural BOS Cape Crown at the weekend of June 8-9 and the solid field of surfers from all parts of the country celebrated the start of youth month in style.
The 3A rated Surfing South Africa event was open to surfers in the U12, U14, U16 and U18 divisions for girls and boys and was included on the Surfing South Africa contest calendar.
Ballito’s Sophie Bell did Salt Rock proud when she went to the top of the U16 girls ratings with victory in her division on Sunday.
Kai Woolf from Jeffreys Bay, who lost out on a spot in the U18 girls final after being marked for a technical interference in her semi final, dominated the U16 girls final from the outset pushing Sophie Bell into second place. The grade ten Ashton International College pupil came second despite contestable conditions and took out the win in the U18 division. These results see her leading the PST rating in both the U16 and U18 divisions.
Sophie Bell was elated with the results.
“Besides the coolest water I have ever been in, the waves were so good and it was such a good contest. I can’t wait for The Ballito Pro to start,” said Bell.
