The Ballito Junior Series featured WSL Junior Qualifying Series (JQS) 1,000 rated events for men and women, with SSA sanctioned events for Under 12, U14 and U16 boys and girls.
Waida made the most of the shifty, onshore conditions at Willard Beach to defeat local favourite and event top seed, Luke Slijpen (Llandudno) in the final of the event that kicked off the 10-day Ballito Pro Surf Festival, which runs until Sunday 1 July at Willard Beach and features the Ballito Pro presented by Billabong.
Zoë Steyn took the JQS women’s title, beating Kirsty McGillivray from Jeffreys Bay in tricky onshore conditions. Full results and more at www.worldsurfleague.com
The festival site offers non-stop activities including a variety of musical acts - rock, pop, hip hop, kwaito, electro and dance - live on Salt Rock Beach over the last weekend. Beach and extreme sports, culinary contests as well as quality retail and food stalls will be there.
