South Africa – Talented Reunion surfer Johanne Defay is the final girl to be invited to surf in the 2010 Roxy Invitational Mozambique. Johanne, who placed third in last year’s seminal event, will be looking to improve her performance at the newly chosen venue of Tofinho, Tofo. Johanne was also the youngest surfer to claim the ASP European Women’s Junior title when she won it aged 15 in 2009. She will be replacing Alice Mcgregor, who had to pull out of the event due to previous commitments. The fast and stylish natural-footer could quite easily set the cat amongst the pigeons in this highly-competitive arena that the Roxy Invitational has become.

Roxy Marketing Manager Tamara Westbrook was upbeat about her inclusion. “Obviously we’re very excited to have Johanne in the mix once again,” said Westbrook. “It’s a bit disappointing that Alice couldn’t make it as she’s a great girl and an unreal surfer, but with Johanne replacing her, we have a line-up of red-hot surfers. Having international flavour in such an event is going to lift everyone’s game. It’s quite exciting. We’re going to see some top-end surfing.”

The waiting period for the event is from 25 May – 30 May, and the event is set to run at the idyllic location of Tofinho, Tofo. A perfect, sand-bottom right-hand pointbreak with endless rides in front of a secluded beach is what awaits the girls, along with a first prize of a cool ten grand. Only one day within the previously mentioned waiting period is what is needed to run the event off to conclusion, and with it being prime swell period, that day will reveal itself.

The contestants are going to be housed at the wondrous Turtle Cove Resort in Tofo (www.turtlecovetofo.com) and there are all sorts of activities for the girls when they’re not out amongst the waves. Yoga, horse riding and skin diving are just a few of these activities, as well as swimming with whale sharks for those that are brave enough. This the fourth edition of the event and it looks like it’s going to be another great tournament.

The final list of surfers, in no particular order, are:

Heidi Palmboom (ZAF)

As temperamental as the weather in the UK can be, you need to be fully prepared for all types of weather. It isn’t uncommon to have an unusually warm spring but a cold summer with very little sunshine and plenty of rain. Although it might be good for the garden, it’s not great when you want to be out and about enjoying yourself.

This is why you need to have a mac from Roxy at your disposal should the weather turn colder and wetter. There is a fabulous collection of Roxy Summer Macs available for the spring summer season. One that really stood out for me was the Roxy Makaha Stone mac.

The Roxy Makaha Stone mac is made from 100% cotton and has a gorgeous yard dyed plaid lining. There is 400mm inside of PU coating and it is also water resistant so you can escape the April showers without getting wet. With a drawstring at the waist, you can style your new mac from Roxy to go with any outfit you may have put together. It can work well as a casual coat or something smarter for when you are heading to the office or out with your friends on a night out.

If you prefer to wear something other than jeans when you are relaxing at home or going for a quiet drink with your friends, there are many other clothing options available to you. However, if you are a massive fan of wearing jeans, then Roxy have a fabulous collection for you to peruse and select from.

Whether you are looking for jeans or combats or chino style pants, then you have come to the right place. Roxy have trousers in all sorts of styles and in a range of different colours to compliment your summer wardrobe.

The Roxy harem pants are a really cool pair of trousers to wear if you are going out with your friends or chilling out on holiday. The Roxy Soul Surfer Cream are made from 100% cotton and they are a classic cropped sarouel trouser with an elasticated waistband for serious comfort. The lightweight fabric means it is fantastic for when you are on holiday and you will certainly remain cool. The side pockets with detailing make these harem pants from Roxy a little more unique and individual.

Flips flops are the ultimate accessory when we are on holiday and they are perfect for wearing when you are on the beach or around the swimming pool. Flip flops are generally made from rubber but there are more sophisticated lines of flip flops made from leather which are great for teaming with a pair of linen trousers from Roxy or a pair of jeans from Quiksilver if you are going out in the evening on your holiday.
