NMBS get 4th at SA Masters

The SA Masters went down in some challenging waves at Vic Bay. Nelson Mandela Surfriders got a credible 4th possie, with Buffalo City taking the win.

Top performers for NBMS were Stan Badger, with a 4th in the Over35's, and Steve Bredell, with a WIN in the Over 50 Men's.

Huge respect to Steve, who beat legend Wayne Monk in both his semi and in the finals.

Steve's story is a classic one. He used to surf in KZN back in the day - and went to trails a coupla times, but due to financial constraints at the time could never afford to go to all the trials needed to qualify, so never made a team.

He them gave up competitive surfing for 23 years. The ou's co-opted him back into the fold for these SA Masters - and he ends up winning the darn thing! Only guy in the comp to win a division that has never won a division before.

Better late than never Steve!
