SA NATIONAL TEAM TRIALS

The South African Bodyboarding Association (SABA) has set the 25th September as the date for selection of the 2010 SA team. The team is set to take part in the ISA World Bodyboard Games in the Canary Islands later this year.
All participating world teams will be made up of two Pro division riders, a top Woman, two Junior division riders and a rider from the Dropknee division.

Invitees include World Tour competitor Mark McCarthy, recently back from the European leg of the International Bodyboarding Association (IBA) Tour, Darren Halse, who dominated the SABA Tour in 2010, and South African celeb Sihle Xaba from the popular TV show Bay of Plenty. The chosen team will be heading to the Island of Gran Canaria in the Canaries in mid December this year.

The trails will be run in Durban as the participants will already be in town gearing up for the South African Bodyboarding Championships at Sun Coast Casino at the end of the month. Below is a list of the SA National Team Trial invitees
