Clifton Lifesaving Surf Club’s Eve Abrahams will get her first taste of international competition at the 2023 International Surf Rescue Challenge in Texas. While competing at the highest level is always a dream, the thrill of being out in the surf and the friendships made on the beach drives this talented and humble teenager.
Eve started her lifesaving career as a nipper, and the now 15-year-old has been a strong competitor in her specialised events, including the Beach Flags and the Sprints – a talent passed on from her parents who are her biggest supporters. Eve’s mother was a recipient of the Lifeguard of the Year award, and her father was a national Flags champion, and their influence has shaped this youngster’s positive outlook on life.
Although Eve enjoys the Malibu Board event, where she finished third at Nationals, her Flags and Sprint performances have shown her immense pedigree. Eve has finished first for the past three years at Western Cape Champs and replicated this remarkable feat at National Champs and Provincial Champs. Now it’s time to shine on the big stage.
We wish Eve and the South African Team all the best in their preparations for the 2023 International Surf Rescue Challenge from the 20th to 23rd September at South Padre Island, Texas, USA.
