    Giant Killers win second Lizzard tag series contest at St Mikes

    Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 3 November, 2007 : - -  The Giant Killers team won the second event in the 2007 Lizzard Tag Series in 2 foot wind blown surf at St Mikes on the KZN South Coast Saturday. Led by power surfer Beyrick de Vries and including  Bright Ntuli, Laura Oppel and Senzo Ngbobo, the Giant Killers beat the Lions, Gobats and Hot Shots teams respectively to win the R2000 first place prizemoney.

    Devin Lane, Khayelihle Ngcobo, Annie de Vries and Mthokosize Hlope were the Lions, Mikey Venter, Vumani Makhanyane, Chanelle Botha and Courtnay Ellish were the Gobats while the Hot Shots were David Van Zyl, Nikita Kekana, Carrryn MacNicol and Rudi Oppel. The St Mikes Lizzard Tag series used the team format to determine results and unlike just about every other contest held throughout the year there were no individual heats in this event.

    In the Lizzard Series surfers are split into equal teams which feature girls and boys from novices through to experienced juniors ranging from under 10’s through to under 16’s. Surfers in each team come up with their own  team names and these names are used to identify them throughout the event.

    With the emphasis on fun and enjoyment, parents and supporters at St Mikes were all encouraged to get involved in the event which used the Double Elimination format created by the International Surfing Association. Cheering and whistling were the order of the day every time a surfer paddled out, caught a wave or tagged one of their teammates which made for a lively and entertaining day of surfing.

    For many of the participants this was their very first experience of competitive surfing and they were able to compete against or even be part of the same team as some of SA’s top junior surfers such as SA Junior squad members Beyrick de Vries, Devin Lane and David Van Zyl and top Under 14 competitor Mikey Venter.

    Mike Frew, Lizzard’s marketing manager said after the conclusion of the event: “Lizzard are stoked to be associated with an event like this. It is unreal to have youngsters surfing in their very first competition together with some of the country’s top juniors. Some of them could hardly contain their excitement”.

    The 2007 Lizzard Tag series is sanctioned by Surfing South Africa, the recognised governing body for the sport. The first event was hosted by Boland Surfing Association at Strand beach in the Western Cape and the St Mikes contest was hosted by Southern KZN Surfing Association. The final Lizzard tag series will take place on November 24/25 at Pollock Beach in Port Elizabeth and Eastern Cape surfers can enter online at surfingsouthafrica.co.za
