Small early morning surf on day two of the Citroen SA Surfing Championships forced organisers to put the contest on hold until the surf improved as the tide dropped. Once the event got going however, surfers in the second rounds of this seven daylong event gave it their all and there were some impressive heat scores despite the marginal conditions.

Third Round heat winners in the premiere Open Men’s Division were Dylan Stewart & Chris Frolich (both eThekweni), former SA Champion Gavin Roberts (Ugu),Simon Fish (Buffalo City) and Craig Johnson (Cape Town). They advanced to Round Four as did defending champion Greg Emslie (Buffalo City), Scott Venter (Presidents Team),David Van Zyl and Chris Frolich (both eThekweni),Luke Malherbe (Buffalo City) and Clint Fraser (Nelson Mandela Bay). A significant upset was the elimination of two time SA Champion Casey Grant (Ugu)

In the Open Women’s Division, Danielle Johnson (Presidents Team),Heather Klug (Ugu),Kat Steffen(eThekweni) and Nina Woermann (Cape Town) joined Round One qualifiers Emma Smith, Faye Zoetmulder (both Nelson Mandela Bay),Tamarys de Maroussem and Monique Gresse (both uThungulu), Lynne Mackey (eThekweni), Tasha Mentasti (Presidents Team),multiple SA Champion Heather Clark (Ugu), and defending champion Nikita Robb (Buffalo City) in Round Yhree.
