South African para surfers made waves at the 2023 Tyrelife SA Para Surf and Para League Open Championships, which took place at Muizenberg Beach in the Western Cape, South Africa from 19-21 May.
The contest not only saw the best of South Africa rise to the podium, but also the first Para Surfing Continental Zone Championship hosted on African soil. The athletes who competed in the competition were rewarded with points towards their global standing that will help them book a place for the Para Surf League Global Championship later this year in the United States.
Liv Stone, who won the women’s Para Surf Stand 1, said the following: “The event was truly incredible. It was great to see all the provinces in South Africa come together and support one another. It was great to see all the camaraderie. I am so honored that I was a part of this surf competition. I also loved seeing all the new and upcoming adaptive surfers get more and more stoked on surfing.
