News Flash


News flash, news flash, Bianca Butiendag has won the Rip Curl Junior pro Durban. After starting the contest with solid heat scores she went on to win the Rip Curl pro in style. Bianca and myself have been working together for about two months now and since then she has finished 9th at the World Games in France after a stellar performance.

It has been a privilege to work with such a committed, dedicated and enthusiastic, talented young individual. The girl has mountains of talent and is showing maturity beyound her age group, her back hand surfing is also second to non. She has been working really hard over the last two months and already the results are starting to show, Well done Bianca i am so proud of you.
Congratulations and a big shout out must also go to my little champion Benji Brand for winning the u/12 and u/14 division and to his Big brother Davey for placing second in U/16 after winning at the King of the Groms in Mossel Bay the previous weekend.

This week i am off to Durban to coach, Shaun Joubert, Daniele and Bianca Buitendag and the Brand brothers while they are competing at the Mr Price Pro Junior. We will be look at doing well in the event but also mixing the trip up with some hard core training and marketing.
Stay tuned for results and updates
