International flavour added to Tiger's Milk Winter Classic
Tiger’s Milk has upgraded the Men’s and Women’s Longboarding Divisions to World Surfing League (WSL) Speciality status, making it the first ever WSL speciality longboard surf contest to take place in South Africa. In addition, an Over 40 Longboard division for the more mature competitive longboarders has been added to the mix.
As was the case in 2015, the Tigers Milk Winter Classic will not only cater for longboarders, but will also include Surfing South Africa 3A PST rated Open Men, Open Women, Under 18 Boys and Under 18 Girls surfers, a Stand Up Paddle Waveriding contest for Men and Women, as well as the unique Men’s and Women’s Varsity Divisions for registered student surfers.
There's a total of R55,000 in prize money on offer across the board in this multi-discipline surf-riding event, and up to 100 local and national surf riders are expected to take part.
Online entries are open, and can be found here. Entries will close once each division is full.
