A five-day national bodyboarding event bringing together South Africa’s top bodyboarders and a highly engaged coastal community, with every day of competition broadcast live from the beach.
Position your brand in front of a nationwide ocean-loving community—from Durban to Cape Town and along the entire coastline—united by surf, bodyboarding, and a shared lifestyle shaped by swell, wind, and ocean conditions.
The National Bodyboarding Championships
The South African Bodyboarding Championships is the country’s premier national competition, bringing together top bodyboarders from across all coastal provinces to compete for national titles.
Hosted by the Cape Town Bodyboarding Association, the 2026 edition marks the return of the Championships to Cape Town after five years—re-establishing the city as a key destination on the national bodyboarding calendar.
More than a competition, the event brings together athletes, supporters, and the broader ocean community, creating a high-energy environment with strong cultural relevance and brand alignment opportunities.
