Dylan Lightfoot of Jeffrey's Bay was the star performer at the Billabong Junior Surfing Series in Durban at the weekend, winning every heat he contested and comfortably taking both the Under 20 and U18 boys' titles.
Competing in rippable one metre waves at New Pier, 18 year-old Lightfoot earned a wildcard into the U20 specialty event by winning the U18 final.
He went on to dominate his older competitors to pocket a total of R15 000 in prize-money and take the early lead in both the Billabong Junior Series and SSA Pro Surf Tour Under 18 rankings.
Also a good weekend in the water for PE paralympian Kevin Paul at the SA Open water swimming championships in Grabow.
He won his 3-kilometre race on Saturday and the 5-kilometre event yesterday.
Megan van Wyk, also of EP, won gold in the 3-kilometre event for the 14 and 15 year-olds and Bronze in the 5k.
