It is the fifth edition of the world championship event which was previously named the ISA World Adaptive Surfing Championship.
The world’s best Para Surfers compete and display their talents in a Paralympic-style, World Championship competition. The team from Durban will be representing South Africa at the championship.
This past week, the team were kitted out to represent SA in the best way! Julia Reader shared how proud she was of the team and Made For More, who has been working to empower the team.
“SO MASSIVELY proud of Made For More and the Durban para-surfers representing South Africa at the world champs this month!!
Watching the team get their SA blazers and knowing the heart and soul poured into this organisation by Julia Van Zyl and Leon Van Zyl blows me away!!!
SO proud of you guys! So proud of the team! And so proud of the million moments where lives are changed by all you do!!! Now go ROCK America!” – Julia Reader
The team were recently hosted by the Blue Marlin Hotel where they were training. The hotel gave them accommodation and hosted a fundraising event to help cover expenses. They also received new surfboards and wetsuits as well as Team SA Blazers and ties.
When they set off to the USA, the team will be looking sharp in green and gold! You can stay updated about their progress at the championship via Made For More’s Facebook page here.
