Mr Price Pro Ballito kicks off today!
The most prestigious surfing event in the world gets underway today. With a record number of entries for this year’s Mr Price Pro Ballito, surfers from around the world will unite during one exhilarating week of world-class surfing.
Surfers are dusting off their big wave ‘guns’ as they prepare for the massive surf to slam the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast at the weekend. High winds and rough seas are expected, from the same storm that pounded the Cape Peninsula this week. The massive cold front is expected to hit the KZN Coast today, with swells of up to 4.5 meters and the possibility of some 6 meter sets as well.
Not only will this year’s Mr Price Pro have a new home in Ballito but it will also have a new look and feel, a full-scale beach festival is set to complement this year’s exciting surfing action.
Good luck to the following South African participants, we are routing for you.

Check out that ocean…Magnificent.
Big Ups Tammy Lee for giving back to the community.
I agree, Awesome pic. Sounds like the ladies have had a hard time this year, with rough seas and large swells, they’ve had to call off the competition on a few occasions.
