What a DAY!!!! We could not be happier as we did not expect it to be this amazing and this big.
Magic happens when a community comes together. We truly feel that we are making history together. It would not be possible without over 20 incredible people on the team where every single one of them did the best they could, the massive support of the community and the crowd that gathered at Mystic House Cape Town.
Even the weather gods were on our side - the wind was super strong and the swell was huge.
The atmosphere on the beach, on the ground of the house, among the team was absolutely amazing and full of love and support for the females.
We can clearly see that girls deserve a serious place in this sport, they can go huge and the community is behind them.
IKSURFMAG with Rou Chater has always taken a serious role to support women in the sport and wrote an amazing article about the event:
