Summer sizzle is here – things are starting to heat up for the 2016 Umhlanga Summer Festival. Exams are nearly over and Matric Rage is upon us. The Umhlanga Main Beach will be alive with activity on 10th and 11th December – with surfers from all over South Africa flying in for a chance to win a portion of the R50 000 total prize and product money on offer in the various divisions at the Lizzard Hurricane Summer Surf.
The surfing contest is the opening event for the Umhlanga Summer Festival 2016 which is supported by Just Juice. Surfers of all ages and abilities are invited and welcome to take part and there will be a novice division for beginners. Spectators will also be rewarded with exciting prizes and lucky draws throughout the two days.
This will be followed with non-stop action on the Millennium Stage at the Main Beach of Umhlanga where top entertainer and World Champion Line Dancer – Kevin Ellis and his team of Just Juice ambassadors will be keeping the crowds entertained and refreshed with lots of prizes.
On Friday 16th of December we will see the 2016 Mr and Miss Umhlanga crowned. Last year over 100 competitors entered into the various divisions ranging from small children to Moms. The winners of the Open Ladies and Men will each win a weekend away at the Lord of the Manors Boutique Hotel in the Midlands valued at R5000.
Kevin Ellis said ‘All novice models are welcome to enter. The judges will be looking for fresh new faces. This is held on the beach so it is all about fun and being natural. Entry forms are available on the website umhlangafestivals.com and we encourage everyone to come along and spectate and have some fun in the sun at our prestigious Blue Flag Status Umhlanga Beach’.
