2011 Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay – South Africa
In 1964 a group of six local Cape Town surfers drove over the dunes to a rocky point and witnessed perfect peeling right-hand waves. This surf spot, which was later dubbed Jeffreys Bay, has since been one the most famous surf spots in the world. Can you imagine surfing perfect J-Bay with only four guys out?
Fast-forward about 45 years. Jeffreys Bay is now a crucial stop on the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) world tour. The Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay will be held from July 15 to the 25th this year. This legendary event marks the pivotal half-way point of the ASP world tour.
