I've never been one for the main stream sports so when I was asked to start a blog as a university assignment I decided to blog on alternate sports, which to me are far more exciting and extreme yet don't get the media exposure the deserve, so after Qualifying as a Exercise Scientist last year I decided to keep my blog going and focus on these sports as well as document my travels being a profession surf judge and a bit of my new interest in sport journalism, feel free to use the question box or post comments, Enjoy!

Warner Beach Surf Series Set to Kick off this Sunday!


Sunday 13th May will see the first event of the 2012 Surf series kick off at Baggies Beach, at a time where the contest calendar is empty and the remaining events are few and far between, we thought it was ideal to introduce the new system, where unfortunatly each event will not carry prizes as in the previous seasons, the up side how ever is we can grow the series form just 3 events to 5 events giving the local surfers more events on which they can hone their competitve skills, the finalist of each event will recieve certificates and the valuable ratings points which will count towards the top 4 in each division who will recieve prize money and prizes at the season final, the anual Warner Beach Open. 


Heading into this event we will see Warner Beach's next generation take to the water in the grom division wher Koby Oberholzer and Slater Rudling will go head to head for the overall series win and the title rights and to be crowned the King of the groms at Warner Beach.


 Mikey Venter will be looking to collect his 4th consectutive series win in the u/20 Boys division but will have his work cut out for him with local up and comer Chad Coullie. The pressure will be on these boys with the entry of Sarah Baum into the boys division and a strong contingent from the far south. 


After having it her own way for the last 2 years Chanelle Botha will have to be on her toes if she wants to keep her Girls series title, with a strong feild of girls taking to the water this year, including WQS surfer Sarah Baum, long time locals Michelle Imeson and Nicole anells as well as close friend Courtenay Ellish. 


The see saw battle will continue in 2012 between Klee Strachan and Warner Beach stalwart Gary Van Wieregen, the u/20 boys who will be surfing up a division wont let them have it all their own way however. 


The stage has been set for the 2012 Warner Boyz Surf Series now all there is to do is watch it all unfold over the next couple events to who will be crowned the Champions in the respective divisions!
