The O'Neill Cold Water Classic South Africa has got underway off the wild coast of Cape Town.
The opening day of this 4-star WQS contest saw clean four foot waves, light winds and perfect blue sky, all with a spectacular mountain backdrop.
Heat one in the round of 64 took place in the 12-degree water off Noordhoek beach, just north of the competition’s base at Kommetjie on the Cape Peninsula.
Whilst local talent, Ian Armstrong was knocked out in the first round, brothers Haydn and Devan MacNicol stormed through top of their heats. As did fellow South African Shaun Joubert – straight off his wildcard entry at the Billabong Pro J-Bay.
“The world cup was unbelievable here and it really unified the whole country,” said O’Neill South Africa Marketing Manager Paul Canning. “Everyone is still in that celebration mode, so this event still has a lot of that enthusiasm and positivity around it.”
