A Warm West Coast Welcome
More than a championship. A community welcome.
As teams, riders, coaches and supporters arrive from across South Africa for the SA Bodyboarding Championships 2026, they’re being welcomed with a collection of locally donated products, treats, vouchers and services from businesses across Melkbosstrand and the West Coast.
This is our way of sharing the hospitality, flavour and spirit of the community we proudly call home.
Why Welcome Baskets Matter
The Welcome Basket initiative is made possible through the generosity of local businesses who have chosen to support both our event and the people travelling to compete in it.
Every basket gives visiting athletes and their families the opportunity to discover local cafés, restaurants, shops and services during their stay—creating meaningful connections between our community and South Africa’s bodyboarding family.
Please support the businesses that support local sport.
