The four surfers who will represent South Africa in the Under 16 Boys division are Michael February and David Brand of Western Province, Dane Staples of Southern Cape and Slade Prestwich of KZN. Steven Sawyer of Eastern Province is the non traveling reserve.
The team will be accompanied by SSA Deputy President Pax Nydoo in his capacity as Team Manager, and the coaching staff will be made up of legendary coach Graham Hynes who is Head Coach, Etienne Venter, the Deputy Coach and Llewellyn Whittaker, the Assistant Coach.
I have the had the privilege to be working closely with 6 of the 15 selected team members which is really exciting and am really looking forward to working with the rest of the team in the coming months in preparation for next year.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LUCK, LUCK IS WHERE PREPARATION MEETS OPPORTUNITY
