The Garden Route was the place to be this last December with thousands of people flocking to the beautiful shores for their Summer holidays. BOS took Plett and Knysna by storm! We were involved in daily activations in and around the beaches, at events and festivals and had a BOS bar set up at the Beacon Isle Hotel. Here are some of our highlights:

Sabrina Love Ocean Challenge

The Sabrina Love Ocean Challenge has established itself as the biggest sporting event on the Plettenberg Bay’s Event Calendar. The eighth annual event was lauded a great success as top international sport stars, holidaymakers and local athletes competed in the multidisciplinary competition in Plettenberg Bay on 28 and 29 December 2011.

The Challenge drew close to 3000 participants to compete in 2 days of sport and fun for the whole family. Established in 2003 by Tony and Suzy Lubner in memory of their daughter Sabrina, who died at age six from complications of a rare bone disorder, the foundation supports children and families living with physical disabilities in the Bitou region.

International sport stars included: Olympic paddler and Plettenberg Bay local Michele Eray, Comrades Marathon legend Bruce Fordyce, Olympic Paralympic Swimmer Natalie du Toit.

Knysna Rocks

Knysna Rocks Music Festival returned to the Gadren Route by popular demand and boasted some of South Africa’s top local bands – artists including Johnny Clegg, Prime Circle and Die Heuwels Fantasties, with newer kids on the block Elvis Blue and Holiday Murray. The festivities took place on the 23 December at the Knysna Sports Grounds followed by the Knysna Rocks after party.

Goldfish Beach Concert

Local boys and international superstar duo Goldfish pulled out all the stops in a free beach concert on Robberg Beach in Plettenberg Bay. Goldfish have been long time fans of BOS and we are huge fans of theirs!
