Sabrina Scott (Glencairn) produced an outstanding performance at the second event in the Kahuna Surf Series on the weekend, after racking up the highest scores in the Girls divisions in good one metre surf at Melkbosstrand.
Scott went unbeaten throughout the qualifying rounds in both divisions at the Melkbos event, and added the U16 girls crown to her maiden victory in the U14 division at Muizenberg last month.
The 13 year-old also placed third in the U14 final, and claimed the Best Kustomised Manoeuvre award for girls for what the judges called a ‘sick backhand carve’ on the first day.
The U14 girls final was an extremely closely contested affair that saw Anna Notten defeat fellow St James resident Alex Morris in a count back after they finished level on two rides, with Notten getting the decision on the strength of her better top scoring ride.
Anna Notten and Sabrina Scott are level pegging at the top of the U14 girls and Kirsten Kingma (Hout Bay) holds a slender 10 point lead in the U16 girls.
Sanctioned by WP Surfing, the Kahuna Surf Series is designed to attract novice surfers to contest surfing and excludes any surfer who has qualified for the final of a national contest.
The series is generously supported by many of the country’s major surf and youth brands such as Reef Wetsuits, Kustom footwear, Puma sports, Island Style accessories, Cobian sandals, Atlantic Surf, Zigzag surfing magazine and Lifestyle Surf shop.
The series champions after three events also receive commemorative medals, custom Reef Wetsuits, Freestyle watches and a three-day intensive surf camp under the supervision of Dene Botha, the country’s highest qualified surf coach, along with specialty awards of Von Zipper eyewear.
The third and final event in the Kahuna Surf Series is scheduled for Kommetjie on December 9 & 10 where the 2006 series champions will be crowned.
