World Champs


What and exciting end to last month with the Junior world champs help in France. Two of my students Bianca Bruitendag and Shaun Joubert were right there in the thick of things mixing it up with the best Juniors from around the world. Both finished 9th overall with some excellent performances in some heats.
Shaun started the event with a massive heat score of 18 out of twenty in his first heat. Bianca on the other hand had a slow start but was consistently making it through heats and then came the big heat scores. Both Bianca and Shaun surfed impressively throughout the event and certainly turned some heads and gave themselves a solid reputation.
South Africa finished 9th over and 4th overall in the tag team
I am really and truly so proud of my two kids I strongly believe they both have the talent and the focus to win a world title it was just not the 2007 world title. They will both however in the future be winning world titles.
Keep up the good work kids and good luck with the rest of your exams. Enjoy the weekend rest up and study hard,training starts on Monday.
