Lizzy Lovin Life!


This month marks a 9 year long relationship with my main sponsor Lizzy, back in 2004 my mom came to me and said that Lizzy has decided to sponsor me for surfing, this was great news but to a 7 year old that doesn't really mean much but if I look back now, without them deciding to support that little 7 year old foamie queen I would never have achieved all I have in surfing.


Receiving this amazing 2013 summer pack today just made me realize how lucky I really am and how much they have done for me and my surfing.

They have taken care of all my surfing needs from wetsuits, surfboards ,clothing to swimwear and any other accessories you can think of.
The best part about being a lizzy team rider is the fact that Lizzy is a South African brand.
Looking forward to the future with Lizzy and my other amazing sponsors.






The Summer 2013/14 range is amazing, do your self a favour and get to a store and get shopping!

2013 Hurley SA Junior Champs

Stoked with a good couple of shots from a rad week in J Bay, for the SA Junior Champs, still a little emotional about my result, I was feeling so good all event, my surfing was feeling good, I was dropping the highest scores through out the rounds and opened the final with a 7.25 ( Highest score of the final) and then not to find the small score to take the win is a really tough pill to swallow, you live and you learn I Guess, but a great event in any case!


The photo's are from all different heats, I was in white  the whole event haha weird!?!







Thanks to AVG and Kolesky for the pictures, and Hurley for an amazing event!

4/4 - The Clean Sweep

So after the 3rd event in the 2013 Billabong Junior Series Presented by BOS, down in Kommetjie where I took my 3rd win of the series, I kind of said to my self if i could win all 4 of the events in the series that would be pretty cool, I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but that was goal when I arrived in Seal Point 2 days before the series final.

Before I even paddled out for my Quarter Final, I had wrapped up the series, so I think that gave me more confidence heading into the event!

The contest was run in really fun 2 - 3 foot classic Seal Point, Our semis were held in onshore conditions, which surprisingly worked out pretty well, with the wave offering more of a lip, and I won my semi, to book myself a spot in my 4th Billabong final in 4 events, one step closer to the 4/4 goal I had set!

The final day the waves were a bit smaller but really clean and glassy, for once I got off to a quick start and opened with a 6.75 to take the lead which I backed up with a few average scores to take out my 4th win, I did it, 4 out of 4, I couldn't believe it, it really was a dream series for me :)

What made it even more special was I was the only surfer in the series to win all 4 events across any division, Not sure if that has been done before? But it felt good to achieve what i had set out to do.

Series Champion in the u/18 girls, and a 3rd place in the u/20 Girls series.

Hard work really does pay off!

From there I headed straight to J Bay for the SA Junior Champs, but that is a whole other blog.

Busy working on a new surf clip, watch this space :)
All the series winners

Thank you speeches

Such an amazing series, Massive thanks to Billabong and BOS for putting it together!
