However, the organisers are also keen to see the sport of wakeboarding and wakeskating grow in the country.
With this in mind, there’ll be a focus on youngsters pushing through the Grom Factory programme in Port Edward who’ll get the opportunity to gain some competitive experience.
The sport is in a rebirth phase in the country with Port Edward very much in the mix.
There’s a lot of talent coming through and it’s exciting to see. The event also marks the start of the South African Wakeskate Tour.
