Bruce Viaene,<br />
is one of ten chosen<br />
to represent South<br />
Africa in Spain in<br />
the <strong>2018</strong> World<br />
Championships in<br />
S e p t e m b e r.<br />
Viaene said he<br />
started waveskiing<br />
when he was 14.<br />
“My sister and<br />
brother-in-law have<br />
both represented SA<br />
on the world stage<br />
and so it was<br />
inevitable I would<br />
pick up a paddle<br />
and waveski too.”<br />
The father of two,<br />
who recently came<br />
second at the<br />
K wa Z u l u - N at a l<br />
Waveski Open<br />
champs, said the<br />
contest was part of<br />
the training for the<br />
Wo r l d<br />
Championships.<br />
“I had a good run<br />
in the preceding<br />
heats to the final,<br />
but came up second<br />
against Mike<br />
Wessels from the<br />
Western Cape,”<br />
Viaene said.<br />
“Mike is a great<br />
surfer and I beat<br />
him at the South<br />
African champs, but<br />
he was on fire in<br />
this competition and<br />
took the win by .03<br />
of a point. I came<br />
second.”<br />

He counts coming<br />
at the top at the<br />
men’s open among<br />
his highlights.<br />
“Last year was my<br />
comeback year. I<br />
won my age group<br />
and the men’s open<br />
“In this year’s<br />
national champs, I<br />
placed second in<br />
the open men’s and<br />
won my age group.<br />
“I have been<br />
selected to<br />
represent SA at the<br />
World Champs, so I<br />
have been training<br />
and competing as<br />
much as possible.<br />
“My board<br />
sponsor, Viking<br />
Waveski, have been<br />
super supportive,”<br />
he said.
