    World Champions South Africa ready to do it again at the 2008 ISA World Masters Champs

    Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 31 March, 2008 : - - The defending World Masters champions, South Africa, are ready to do it all again at the second ISA World Masters Championships which got under way in 6 - 8 foot surf at Puntas Rocas yesterday.

    Despite having to leave South Africa with only eight of their ten team members when World Champion Chris Knutsen encountered passport problems and new cap Justin Healy of Western Province's connecting flight was delayed in Cape Town, the team are all safely in Peru.

    All the heats will be broadcast live by webcast and can be accessed on www.isasurf.org. Peru time is seven hours behind South Africa.

    The ISA World Masters Championships is a team competition and the nation which achieves the highest total score will be crowned as World Champions. Individual results will earn points which will accrue to the Team score and medals will be awarded to the four surfers who reach the finals in each of the five divisions.
