Local friend says all beaches now closed. Presumably through at least Jan 15, perhaps longer given how bad things have gotten there. Bummer for locals and visitors like Kevin and Janek.

West Coast district (including Bloubergstrand) is announced as a virus hotspot, so beaches are closed. BUMMER!
Had tickets 14-31 January to CT but changing them to voucher now

Sad news indeed.
Maybe still possible to run the event with just live stream...

Re: 2021: King of the Air predictions
If the beaches stay closed through the timing of the KOTA, there will be no event to live stream.
