A YOUNG Port Alfred surfer has been awarded a surfing scholarship from the International Surfing Association.
Lungani Memani, 17, was chosen along with four other surfers from a pool of 20 applicants as recipients of the 2007 scholarships.
Memani and the other recipients will each receive $12 000 (R87 000).
Memani, who started surfing when he was 10, said he began as a lifesaver before doing any surfing.
“I was approached by Warwick Heny, a surfer, who asked me if I was interested in doing surfing.â€
Memani said he enjoyed surfing so much that he wanted to become a professional surfer.
“It‘s a very good feeling to be in the water. I don‘t think there‘s anything I‘d like to do more than surfing.
