The festival concludes on Saturday with the WSL Challenger Series Finals, where the world's top emerging surfers will battle it out for the Ballito Pro title.

Before the champions are crowned, festivalgoers are encouraged to take part in the special Mandela Day 67 Minutes for the Ocean beach clean-up, dedicating 67 minutes to collecting litter, ghost fishing gear and nurdles to help protect Ballito's coastline.
