Rolling Retro 2023 - Retro Surf Celebration presented by Sweet River, Vudu Surf & Skullcandy

One of the world's longest running, Retro surf days! The 2023 Rolling Retro ushered in a return to the early days prior to Covid. Magnificent weather, fun to slightly heavy surf, a packed field of surfers and a crowded beach of spectators. The new Team format worked really well and the heats were stacked with surfers from around the Cape Peninsula. Some of the teams were even sponsored by local companies, while others were just friends from surf areas around the Cape.
In the second semifinal it was the young guns of, Team Jeets PM, loaded with top QS surfers, Luke Thompson, Luke Slijpen, Connor Slijpen, Eli Beukes and Noah Khan, the top qualifiers, dropping hammers in a hard-fought battle with the Scarbarbarians. The deep south surfers went down swinging, but it was the Jeets going to the final.
By now the beach was heaving, the music was pumping and a real festival atmosphere had gripped the beach. The finals got under way and the waves kept pouring in. Eli Beukes pulled into one of the craziest tubes of the day, eagerly egged on by the loud crowd, only to get clipped by the foam ball and go down hard (He would win best wipeout). The older gents of Team Bomax took a while to get going and they never really were able to catch up to the new guard, as the Jeets PM took the first ever Rolling Retro, team title.
A jovial prize giving ensued and this was followed by 3 hours of good music, with DJ Big D (Dion Walters) before the sun set on another fantastic Rolling Retro. The event once again proving that it is the best beach day of the year and one of the best surf events in the world.
Presented by: Sweet River Brewery, Skullcandy, Vudu Surf, Traeger, Hurricane Surf, Pixme, Zigzag, Pit Viper, Ocean freedom and The Regular Guy.
