THE Off the Lip Movember Surf Jam is going down once again, so dress up 70’s style, dust off the old retro surfboard and join the movement for men’s health. Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of various cancers, such as prostate cancer.

Entries have already started pouring in for this year’s edition of the event with three big names already confirmed. uMhlanga’s Beyrick de Vries, Durban North’s David Van Zyl and defending champion Brandon Jackson also from Durban North.

“I can’t wait to surf the event this year. I have been away every year surfing international events but will be here this year to give Jacko a run for his money, I’ve got my twin fin ready,” said an excited De Vries.

Now in its fourth year, Off the Lip is quickly gaining prominence in the surf calendar. The event will see 72 surfers taking to the water with six-man heats with traditional beach starts in practice.

The three divisions will include open mens, ladies and a legends division (for surfers over the age of 50 years old).
