In 1947,Vasco da Gama named the rather large river mouth 'Rio do
Natal'. Durban harbour has since become the largest harbour in Africa
and the ninth largest in the world. The low water depth was initially less than 2 metres. Constant dredging
has allowed for large ships to be able to enter the Bay (its low water depth is now 6m).
In early times, almost all the Bay was fringed with mangrove swamps,
but unfortunately only a small patch now remains.

MR PRICE PRO - Every year!
"THE DURBAN SURFING EXPERIENCE"
EVENT SCHEDULE
Important Notice:
Please note that the event schedule could change at any time. Please check the schedule on a regular basis. Thanks!
SO WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT? WHERE/HOW DID IT ALL START?
SURFING...SURFING...SURFING...and don't forget, SURFING!
Crowning surfing’s world champions since the early seventies, the Mr Price Pro formerly known as the Gunston 500, captured the nation’s imagination with Shaun Tomson’s incredible six year winning streak from 1973 – 1978.
Twenty eight years later, it was Durban’s Ricky Basnett (Bluff) who brought South Africa out of the shadows, claiming an emphatic victory before thousands of supporters, ensuring the Mr Price Pro would settle in the minds and hearts of all South African’s, as the greatest surfing competition on the African continent.
