Despite the heavy rain and miserable weather on the KZN South Coast, the Tidy Towns Shelly Beach to Margate SA Surfing Championships 2023 show must go on!

The jet-skis have been brought in to assist with the paddle out.

This morning’s surf was a solid 6ft to 10ft, and it looks like the event is in for an action-packed day of surfing.
