MOSSEL BAY NEWS AND VIDEO - The DHL Lifesaving SA Interprovincial Surf Championships started in rainy weather at Santos Beach, Mossel Bay, today.
A Mossel Bay Invitational Team, comprising mainly Eden, Western Cape and Eastern Cape lifesavers, is taking on Eastern Province and Western Province in the championships, so there are three contending teams.
The composite invitational team was necessary to have a full team compete against Western Cape and Eastern Cape. See a gallery here: Lifesaving championships at Santos Beach, Mossel Bay
There are six competitive provinces in lifesaving. Four chose not to participate for a single day event due to the cost; they will compete in a competition within a month and a further one within three weeks from that.
