Bodyboarders do well
The Boland Bodyboarding Association recently participated in the SA Bodyboarding Championships and Onrus bodyboarders Tristan Roberts, Matthew Webster, Dylan le Roux and Gerrit Hitge performed well.
The competition was held from 3 to 8 October at Big Bay, Bloubergstrand.
Gerrit Hitge came fourth in the masters final and Matthew Webster was second in the mens division, Dylan le Roux was fourth in the division for boys while Tristan Roberts was named champion in this division. Tristan also received the prize for the best wave of the contest, scoring a ten for an epic ride in 3,5m swell on the final day.
Boland put up a brave performance to end in third position overall.
This is the best result Boland has ever had in an SA championship.
Riders are invited to join the Boland Bodyboarding Association. Boland’s new chairperson, Ryno Turketti, can be contacted on +27 (0)72 594 6701.
