Story Transcript:
Af: Die son het helder geskyn oor Campsbaai-strand.
En: The sun shone brightly over Campsbaai-strand.
Af: Dit was Kersfees, met mense wat onder kleurvolle sambrele op die goue sand ontspan het.
En: It was Christmas, with people relaxing under colorful umbrellas on the golden sand.
Af: Die lug was vol die gelag van vakansiegangers en die gekrys van seemeeue.
En: The air was filled with the laughter of holidaymakers and the cries of seagulls.
Af: Vandag was spesiaal, die jaarlikse kersfeesbranderry-kompetisie.
En: Today was special, the annual Christmas surfing competition.
Af: Marius, 'n jong branderplankryer met blink oë, het na die see gestaar.
En: Marius, a young surfer with bright eyes, stared at the sea.
Af: Sy hart was vol hoop.
En: His heart was full of hope.
Af: Hy wou die kompetisie wen, wys wat hy kan doen en uiteindelik erkenning kry as 'n ware surfer.
En: He wanted to win the competition, show what he could do, and finally gain recognition as a true surfer.
Af: Sy suster Annelie het langs hom gestaan, haar hand bo haar oë om die son af te weer.
En: His sister Annelie stood next to him, her hand shading her eyes from the sun.
Af: Sy was sy grootste ondersteuner, maar sy was ook realisties.
En: She was his biggest supporter, but she was also realistic.

En: "You're going to make it, Marius," she said, even though she was slightly skeptical about the calm sea.
Af: Intussen het Pieter, die skreeusnaakse omroeper van die kompetisie, die mikrofoon gegryp.
En: Meanwhile, Pieter, the hilarious announcer of the competition, grabbed the microphone.

Af: " sy stem het oor die luidsprekers gedonder.
En: his voice boomed over the speakers.
Af: Maar iets was vreemd.
En: But something was strange.
Af: Die golwe het eenvoudig verdwyn.

En: The sea was as still as a mirror.
Af: Die skare het begin murmureer en Pietro het slaap gemaak van die situasie.
En: The crowd began to murmur, and Pietro made light of the situation.
Af: Met sy kenmerkende flair sê hy: "Dit lyk of die see vandag nie wil werk nie, mense, maar wees gerus, ons het nog 'n vertoning!
En: With his characteristic flair, he said, "It seems the sea doesn't want to cooperate today, folks, but rest assured, we still have a show!"
Af: "Marius het rondgekyk, gesukkel om 'n plan te maak.
En: Marius looked around, struggling to come up with a plan.
Af: Toe raak sy oë op sy branderplank en 'n ondeunde glimlag verskyn op sy gesig.
