I can tell you that the Central Kwa-Zulu Natal Bodyboarding Team is the hardest all round team to get into,the trials are hard due to the incredible standard of riding that all the riders bring to a heat to prove their place on this team,this is why they are once again sponsored by Thiel Board Co. and Justbodyboarding.If you are lucky enough to get a place on this team,things only get harder,the 'training' begins and the captain(this year being Michael Ostler) then decides how they would like to bring upon various forms of pain to the team for 2hours on a Sunday morning. In the end,it's all worth it,especially when the team has to travel down to cold water provinces as this takes a lot of energy out of a person,this year is one of those years with SA champs being held in Mossel Bay. I'm pretty bummed that I could not make it to the event,but I am following every little bit of information I can get as to how you guys are doing down there.
Good luck to the best Team in South Africa,as we can see by the engravings of CKZN on the most wanted trophy in the country,THE Fishman Trophy. Good luck to each and every one of you and lets see the best rider win.Below you will see the 2013 CKZN bodyboadring team with their game faces on.
