Team SA shines at International surfing competition...

"Team SA's Simone Robb was the standout performer in the Women’s division on Day 2 of ISA World Longboard Surfing Championships in Peru on Tuesday, recording the highest heat total and relegating pre-event favourite Justine Dupont (FRA) to the runner-up berth in their Round 2 clash."

For more...

Team SA is presently in second place!

Cape Town's Simone Robb is SA Open Women's longboard World Gold Medallist!

France wins overall but, in the "Open Women’s Final. South Africa’s Simone Robb won the Gold Medal, earning 11.50"

And forgot to mention that Team SA took second place ahead of Hawaii!

That is good going.

Don't our surfers usually do well? Just don't get the coverage.

SA does do pretty well - been hitting the news with surfing since the 1970s (if not earlier) in the Shaun Thompson era. But since so little seems to be on MBB about surfing, thought I'd post this win!

Simone made front page of the Cape Times today - good thing that she has been recognised in her city too

If it's not soccer, rugby or cricket it does not count or feature.

Yes, I get that... thought I'd maybe mention the women's badminton next :twisted:
