It was the local surfers who stood out at the Association if Surfing Professionals World Qualifying Series 6-Star Mr. Price Pro in Durban South Africa. The elite group of five South Africans made it on to the next round but also scored the highest as well. Number 4 ASP ranked surfer Travis Logie who happens to be from Durban scored a very impressive and nearly perfect 9.33 out of 10.
“I knew that the tide was ping so I sat a bit wide and it paid off,” Logie said. “As the siren went I got that bomb and then I backed it up with another good one. My boards are amazing, I’m feeling strong, and I’m just looking forward to having fun in this event.”
The next top scoring surfers were the other South Africans including number 31 ASP ranked surfer Royden Bryson of East London who scored himself into the second place position.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve had a good result in Durban,” Bryson said. “I’ve had a bit of a slow start on the World Tour but things are just heating up, there are still a good couple of contests to come. I started with two 33rds but with a 17th in Tahiti and in Fiji hopefully I can keep building on my campaign and keep making heats.”
