stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first professional surfing event in Liberia, the African Surfing Confederation (ASC) African Surf Tour hosted in Robertsport from Thursday 23 May to Sunday 28 May, he managed to bring home a silver medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"YouTube\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_d9623ed0\"><iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"

the surfing event was of a very high standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe event, which formed part of the newly formed African Surf Tour hosted by the African Surf Confederation in conjunction with the Liberian Surfing Federation with direct support from the President and the respective government department,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\"

surfing for his position among the top 80 surfers in the world on the World Surf League Challenger Series.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To take on his various surfing challenges, Sampson started a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backabuddy.co.za\/campaign\/paul-on-tour\" target=\"_blank\">back-a-buddy campaign<\/a> to fund his professional surfing career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-love-of-the-sport\">Love of the sport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For Sampson, the love for surfing started at the tender age of six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI started surfing at the young age of six and I have progressed through all levels of this wonderful sport,\u201d he says. \u201cFrom the Grom Games for young surfers to the professional tour in Africa under the banner of the International World Surf League (WSL).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The World Surf League consists of three levels of events: the regional Qualifying Series (QS), the Challenger Series (CS) and the \u201cjewel in the crown\u201d the Championship Tour (CT). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_e4a4fd93\">\n<div class=\"text\">\u201cDue to my recent win at the Cape Town Pro (QS) in Cape Town and my result in Port Elizabeth, I have ended joint first on the Africa Tour,\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;says Sampson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-select-few\">A select few<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>He is one of only five male surfers from all over Africa to make the second level of the WSL Challenger Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a lifetime opportunity for me to show my surfing talent to the rest of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To him, this is a huge personal achievement, something he aspired to his whole life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_f11d69b7\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"

event will take place at Willard Beach, Ballito-Durban and thereafter I will be heading to America, Portugal and then Brazil for the final event.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on his second-place win at the African Surfing Confederation (ASC) African Surf Tour, Sampson says it was an exciting start to his international professional surfing career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA special thanks for the second-place winnings of $2 000 (roughly R36 000) which will go a long way to the start of my 2024 Challenger Series in South Africa, US Open and Portugal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-try-your-best\">Try your best<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe surf was great in Robertsport with the left-hand point break helping improve my backhand surfing tremendously.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His advice to other surfers is to try your best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\"

I may look like the mutt from the streets of Lavender Hill but never take this as a sign of weakness\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To participate in the various challenges, Sampson needs financial support to assist with travel costs. \u201cI humbly request any support from fellow South Africans and to anyone abroad who can assist me to accomplish my dream.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All funds raised will be used for travelling, accommodation, food, entry fees into the competition, insurance and taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would love to continue this journey as an inspiration to everyone as I believe that anything is possible when your heart and mind are in the right place,\u201d says Sampson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>For more info visit <\/strong><a
