2015 Off The Lip Movember Surf Jam Review

The third annual Off The Lip Movember Surf Jam presented by Quicksilver took place at Tongaat Beach in front of Beach Bums in KZN over the weekend. The masses gathered in support of the Movember Foundation event with the competitors dressed in their 70’s style surf gear, surfing retro boards, all for a good cause.

55 surfers took part in the traditional 6-man heats with beach starts. Retro style and flow was the order for the day and the key ingredient. Durban local, Brandon Jackson turned up the heat in the final with some radial surfing edging out Luke Patterson for the win. Lee Bisset, Scott Venter, Chris Leppan and Shane Sykes finished in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th.
