Anytime an all-star lineup like this comes to South Africa, you can expect nothing short of a firework show. Waves here are more common than models on Instagram, and the mere fact that this region has some of the most incredible right handers in the world means that you’ll witness the absolute highest level of surfing. Period. Especially from guys like Filipe Toldeo and Jordy Smith.
Watching competition is great, but free surfing is where it’s at. Not only do you get to witness these guys put on a clinic all at once, but you might be able to share some waves and have a chat with your heroes out in the lineup. Here’s a few legends of the sport free surfing in between heats at the Mr. Price Pro Ballito, including Aritz Aranburu, Nic von Rupp, Jordy Smith, Filipe Toledo, Sebastian Zietz, Connor Coffin, Mitch Crews, Alejo Muniz, Jeremy Flores, Wiggoly Dantas and a handful of other local up-and-coming rippers.
