The longest running Junior Surfing Series in the country, the Billabong Junior Series, is set to return with some exciting format changes and massive prizes in the mix. The series carries on the proud tradition set by Billabong that has already seen 43 events take place and almost R1Million awarded in prize money over the last 16 years.

This year the series is presented by Bos Iced Tea, and they are excited to be involved in this, the premier Junior Surfing Series in the country. “Bos has been sponsoring Billabong big wave surfer, Twiggy Baker, for the last 2 years. We share his passion for surfing, adventure and exploration – continually pushing boundaries in the search for fresh experiences,” says Marié van Niekerk, Bos Marketing Director. “We are delighted for the opportunity to support and get involved in surfing at a grassroots level. Events like the Billabong Junior Series is where the future surf pro’s are shaping their careers and it’s very exciting to be part of this journey.”

The 2013 series will comprise Boys U12, U14, U16 and U18 divisions, as well as Girls U14 and U18 divisions. There is also an elite U20 invite-only division, with surfers selected via online voting. Six of South Africa’s top U20 surfers will be invited to compete in each event. They will be joined by the winner of the U16 and U18 divisions for boys, and the winner and runner-up in the U18 division for girls, to make up the 8 surfers in this category. The series will be awarding R750,000 in money, prizes and giveaways. The prize money distribution is unique, and the allocation is thus:

- One Prize per division – winner takes all.

- U20 Girls and Boys R10k each
- U18 Girls and Boys R5k each
- U16 Boys R5k
- U14 Boys and Girls R2,5k each
- U12 Boys R2,5k

- Specialty Prizes.

On top of this, Billabong will be awarding two Specialty Prizes for the Best Aerial and for the Most Progressive Wave per event, with both prizes worth R10k each. The Billabong Junior Series is a stepping stone between junior surfing and professional surfing, and Billabong recognises that progressive surfing and aerial moves are imperative for a successful professional career.

- Billabong Sponsorships.

In another innovative concept, Billabong will also be offering six one-year sponsorship contracts to the series winners in each division. Should the series winner turn down the sponsorship offer, the prize will be offered to the next deserving surfer. The sponsorships include, coaching, photo incentives, contest entry fees, contest incentives and product across the Billabong brands, coming in at a value of R75k per sponsorship. Billabong brands involved in the sponsorships include Billabong, DaKine, VonZipper, Kustom and Kinetic Racing Fins.

Nixon will also be on board as a product sponsor for the series.

- Bos Surfer Of The Series award.

This award will go to the surfer who has performed the most consistently across the whole series. It will be open for entries from all divisions and the winner will walk away with a 20K overall prize consisting of R10K cash, a custom made Bos surf board, special Bos merchandise and a year’s supply of Bos Ice Tea.

- All Aboard Travel Sportsmanship Award

All Aboard Travel will present a Sportsmanship Award to one surfer displaying the best sportsmanship throughout the series, at the series prizegiving. This prize will comprise a return ticket and four nights accommodation in Bali, Indonesia, valued at R17k.

The series will enjoy extensive media coverage across many platforms, including print media, web, social media and television.

The Billabong Junior Series is sanctioned by Surfing South Africa event. National PST Points will be allocated to each division as per Surfing South Africa guidelines. There will be no PST points allocated in the U20 division as it is by invite only. Surfing South Africa is recognised by the South African Sports Confederation (SASCOC) as the governing body of the sport in South Africa.

Guinness World Record attempt + Ocean & Beach events

Sustainable lifestyle event

Surfer’s Corner, Muizenberg, Cape Town

Saturday & Sunday, 29 & 30 September 2012

Far more than just wave-riding at BOS Earthwave Beach Festival this weekend

There will be far more than just wave-riding at the BOS Earthwave Beach Festival at Muizenberg this weekend and those attending the fifth edition of the sustainable lifestyles event can enjoy and participate in a wide range of fun-filled and informative beach sports and activities.

Alongside the attempts to set world records for ‘longest line of surfboards on a beach’ on Saturday and the ‘most surfers riding the same wave’ on Sunday are paddle races and touch rugby, a treasure hunt and beach cleanups, blood and ear testing, skincare advice, land paddling demos, celebrity autograph sessions, fund raising for worthy causes, give-aways, two after-parties and environmental talks and presentations.

The highlight of the environmental program is a presentation by renowned conservationist and extreme adventurer Braam Malherbe at 11am on Saturday. This motivational speaker, youth developer and TV presenter who ran the Great Wall of China for Operation Smile will elaborate on how we all need to DO ONE THING to make a difference for our environment!

There will also be videos on environmental talks and plenty of materials on sustainable lifestyle options from Greenpop, the City of Cape Town’s Environmental departments and WWF, while Tuffy have donated recyclable bags for the twice daily beach cleanups where those collecting the most rubbish earn prizes.

Spatone, the natural mineral-water-based iron supplement and sponsors of the medical facilities at the festival are offering FREE iron and glucose testing for athletes and spectators daily. MichaelGamePlan, the first CANSA endorsed men’s product in South Africa, is providing skincare advice and hampers of products on both days and Wavescape.co.za, SA’s foremost surfing portal, brings well-known ear, nose and throat expert Dr John Steer to conduct tests and give advice on ‘surfers ear’ on Sunday.

The marquee tent, where registration for the world record attempts takes place, will also host awareness and fund raising for the Sunflower Fund, whose Bandana Day is on 12 October, and the Shark Spotters who do so much to protect ocean users from apex predators but whose operations are only partially funded by local authorities.

The tent is also the venue for an autograph and poster signing session on Sunday featuring South African super-models Tracy McGregor and Leigh-Ann Roberts, both of whom have graced the cover of Playboy SA in 2012. The girls will be promoting the latest swimwear range from Fondle clothing, designed by Tracy, and we hope to see them gracing the waves during the Guinness World Record attempt too.

The inaugural People’s Post Touch Rugby Challenge is an invitational eight-team tournament on Sunday morning and the BOS Dig for Gold treasure hunt where hordes of kids comb the beach sand for prizes totaling thousands of Rand is scheduled for 12 noon the same day, just before the participants line-up for the attempt to set a new record for the number of surfers riding the same wave.

Demos and trials of the latest Land Paddling equipment from Kahuna Creations will run throughout the weekend, with one of the paddles up for grabs, and for those who want to try surfing for the first time there will be free Introduction to Surfing lessons available from Surf Emporium and Lifestyle Surf Shop.

The waves will be filled on both days with the region’s best young surfers in the Surf Emporium WP Inter-schools Champs, which includes a Surfing South Africa transformation project and the Battle of the Waves where all proceeds go to the Shark Spotters. The men’s final of the New Balance WP Longboard Champs will be run on Sunday morning to showcase the top local riders.

And for those watermen and women who would like to make history by being the country’s first tandem surfing champions, the inaugural Similasan Tandem Surfing Champs will see couples performing acrobatic lifts and poses as they ride the same surfboard. Anyone keen of participating in this event, which has unique handcrafted trophies and hampers of the sponsor’s homeopathic treatment for swimmer’s ear on offer, can enter for free via kahunasurf@mweb.co.za

Another exciting new addition to the festival is the Coreban SUP Classic where stand up paddlers and surfskis will race from Muizenberg to Kalk Bay and / or Fish Hoek and back, depending on conditions. This demanding race will bring out the best in the burgeoning SUP community.

All these activities take place at surfers Corner on Muizenberg Beach, voted one of the world’s 20 top surf towns by National Geographic and undoubtedly one of the planet’s premier places to learn to surf. And thanks to the generous support of brands like BOS Ice Tea; Fondle; DaKine; Zigzag Magazine; Billabong; Rafikis; Von Zipper; Derevko Wetsuits; Kauai; Sector 9; MichaelGamePlan; Palmers and Kahuna Creations there will be heaps of valuable prizes to win while you’re there.

And when the beach action is over for the day, join the crowds at the official after-parties at Rafikis Restaurant in Kloofnek Rd in the city on Saturday night and at the Brass Bell in Kalk Bay on the Sunday where the official results of the world record attempts will be announced.

The Bos animals spent this past Saturday, 30 June 2012, winning over the hearts of Nu Metro moviegoers at the V&A Waterfront while on a little safari.

As a special surprise to “Madagscar 3″ viewers the animals were there to give out Bos Ice Tea, hugs and wildlife tips.

It’s not everyday that you get to watch a movie with these guys, and the children couldn’t have been happier.

Naturally the kids weren’t the only ones who buddied up with the animals…

The animals had an amazing time roaming around and making new friends on their latest safari adventure. “It was great seeing Marty, my fellow lion, on screen. He’s pretty cool for a New Yorker.” Lion commented after leaving the cinema.

If you’re lucky you might catch them the next time that you visit Nu Metro, so keep your eyes open.

In celebration of Auto Atlantic MINI winning the MINI SA Dealer of the Year Award in 2011, guests and celebrities were treated to an evening filled with entertainment, cocktails and canapes on 2 June 2012 at the MINI dealership in Cape Town’s CBD.

300 Mini Cooper drivers, media and celebs enjoyed a night of awesome interaction including live performance by Locnville, a Graffiti wall creation and reveal by top Graffiti artist Matt Bouch, a UV expression room and loads of other great entertainment.
