PUMPED ON THE START LINE - from @imsouthafrica . . The female pro’s started 5mins after their male counterparts, giving them time to see the conditions as the guys battled over the first few wave breaks. Not sure if that settled the nerves or made them more anxious, either way, each athlete deals with the pre race tension in their own way. . . Pic1: I wonder what @lucycharles93 laughing at? 😄 . .
