The first for Africa

The first IBC Bodyboarding World Tour event in Africa is going to take place in Hermanus from 19 – 28 August and the local and previous winner of the Hermanus Times Super Sport Let’s Play Sportstar, Tristan Roberts, is going to participate in this prestigious event.

After four events the local star is ranked first with 1 215 points (updated 16 June). “With my results so far I am leading the tour and I couldn’t be any happier,” Robert said. “It has been a great start to my competitive season, and the year is going to be rather exciting as I chase my second men’s world title.”

In May, he told Hermanus Times: “The IBC World Tour has started and we have competed at two stops of the tour already. One was held in Arica, Chile, where I got second and the second event was held in Iquique, Chile, where I got first. We are leaving to compete in the third stop, which will ve held in Antofagasta, Chile, and then I will be heading to Brazil to compete in the fourth stop.”

After Brazil they competed in Hawaii, and are now taking part in a tournament in the Maldives before the event in Hermanus.
