2010 Roxy Invitational Competitors Announced

Posted by surfer on May 5, 2010 in South African surfers, Surfing Events | 0 comments

The ten young female surfers who have been invited to take part in the 2010 Roxy Invitational to take place in Ponto d’Oura in Mozambique later this month, have been announced.

The event, presented by Saltwater GIRL Magazine, will feature a mix of novices, title holders and experienced professionals. An invitation to the event is not only an incredible honour, but since competitors vie for an impressive amount of prize money (the first-place winner gets a cool R10 000), invites are therefore quite sought-after. Another enticement is that the competitors will be staying at the Turtle Cove Resort in Tofo. So when they’re not battling it out in the surf, they will be able to unwind with yoga, skin diving and horse riding.

The invited surfers from South Africa are Kirsty Delport, Chantelle Rautenbach, Sarah Baum, Heidi Palmboom, Tarryn Chudleigh, Alice McGregor, Holly Armstrong and Faye Zoetmulder. They will be surfing against internationals such as Philippa Anderson and Paige Haggerston, both from Australia.

The event will be taking place from 23 May to 1 June 2010.

South Africa’s premier, stand-alone women’s surfing event, The Roxy Wahine Cup, is taking place at the gorgeous Suncoast Beach near Durban this weekend (29 & 30 November).

The best female surfers in the country are all going to be attending and competing in the event where they’ll be battling it out for a share of the generous prize money. Even newbies, with no previous event surf experience, will have a chance of competing in the Novice Division, in which an amazing one-year Roxy sponsorship is up for grabs.

Along with the surfing action, the Roxy Wahine Cup also offers a weekend-long festival of live music and fun on the lawns of Suncoast Beach.

Last years’s winner, Heather Clark, who pocketed R10,000 for her victory, is expected to be back to defend her title.  She is bound to face tough competition from the likes of Tanika Hoffman, Tarryn Chudleigh, Nikita Robb, Kirsty Delport and Sarah Baum.

The Roxy Wahine Cup is a Surfing South Africa (SSA) event and forms part of the Pro Surf Tour.

The event is sponsored by Virgin Mobile and Resolution, and is supported by MXit, Supersport, Suncoast, Durban City, Clean & Clear, Nivea and Red Bull.
