If you can't make it down to the beach, follow all the action live on LiveHeats or on YouTube.

South Coast surfing star, Heather Clark has made it though to the finals of the Tidy Town SA Surfing Championships on Sunday, May 21.
Two Ugu Surfriders – Heather Clark and Gavin Roberts – made the South Coast extremely proud and won the over 35 women’s and men’s division, respectively at last year’s Tidy Towns SA Masters Surfing Championships.
Yesterday (Wednesday) Day 2 down at St Mike’s Beach delivered some great waves and some even greater surfing.

In the open men’s division, local surfers Brandon Lange, Nicky Njapha, Evan Spittal and Tristan Kosten fell out in Round 3 and Jordan Boshoff in Round 4.
Gary van Wieringen, also of Ugu Surfriders, hung in to the surf in the semi-finals, not quite making the final.
Day 3 has kicked off and it’s jammed-packed with heats with the over 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60 men competing, along with the over 30 women. If you can’t make it down to the beach, follow  on LiveHeats or on YouTube.
