Surfing set to sizzle soon

THE KwaZulu-Natal North Coast is about to heat up this winter as it plays host to the Ballito Pro, presented by Billabong, for the ninth consecutive year.

Bringing with it international surfing stars, South African musical legends and action-packed entertainment from June 27 to July 9, visitors are in for a treat.

“The return of the Ballito Pro presented by Billabong to KwaDukuza is a true testament to the region’s incredible surf conditions and warm coastal atmosphere,” said event organiser, Collette Bundy. “We’ve organised an incredible two-week programme suited to all ages.”

What started as a surfing contest on the South African East Coast 49 years ago has evolved into one of the country’s most spectacular holiday festivals while keeping at heart the element which prompted the event – a love of the ocean.

The longest-running professional surfing event will continue at Willard Beach, Ballito with a host of exciting events taking place around this central action.

South Africa’s hottest musical acts will be performing their greatest hits at this year’s Ballito Pro Music Concerts taking place at the Salt Rock beach stage for two days from Thursday, July 6.

The musical entertainment continues at the official After Dark Parties taking place at Ballito’s biggest nightlife venue, Crush Nightclub, with the two dance floors hosting some of the country’s hottest deejays.

Returning this year after impressing audiences at the 2016 edition are world-ranked extreme motorcyclists, Bruce and Brent le Riche who will be performing an unbelievable array of death-defying stunts at Willard Beach.

Make sure you don’t miss out on any of the holiday action taking place from Thursday, June 27 to Sunday, July 9 at venues around KwaDukuza.
