The Ross Taylor Benefit Surf Contest 2012

The Ross Taylor Benefit Surf Contest, held in honour of Ross Taylor who succumbed to cancer at 29, takes place at Buffalo Bay, Knysna, 10-12 August 2012. Now in its fourth year, the event raised R70 000 and attracted 215 contestants in 2011, making this the largest entered surf contest in South Africa. The Stand Up Paddle (SUP) contingent became a welcome added element to the contest in 2010, and the SUP SA committee, have since been looking at making this a SUP sanctioned event. The Benefit Bash promises live bands, DJs, an auction, bar, food stalls and great prizes to be won! Beach activities for the whole family, including a fun run/walk and sandcastle building ensure everyone can be part of the fun, share the love, and support Hospice. See you there!

For online entries, queries, sponsorships or donations, go to www.hospiceknysna.org.za, rosstaylorsurf or contact Nicky on 083 412 4598, or rosstaylorsurf@gmail.com

Surfers united is a very powerful force not unlike the love that Ross gave to everyone, that were blessed to have crossed his path, during his time on earth. A true friend and a shining example of a Nirvana Surfer! He is part of the fabric that makes up Knysna and the surfing lifestyle. Love and good waves to all.
