Billabong Pro J-Bay | Event

With its wide-open, racetrack walls, and cavernous tube sections, J-Bay is an elite surfer’s dream!

South Africa's most prestigious and lucrative surfing event, the R3 million Billabong Pro J-Bay, will be staged at Supertubes in Jeffreys Bay.

Stop No. 4 of 10 on the ASP World Tour, the series of events that determines the annual World Surfing Champion, the Billabong Pro J-Bay features the top 45 ranked professional surfers in the world (including SA's Jordy Smith and Travis Logie) and three wildcards (Sean Holmes plus Shaun Joubert plus one to be determined in the VonZipper Super Heat on the first day of the competition).

During Easter week in 1964 a group of six Cape Town surfers pulled up to the dunes and rocky point of Jeffreys Bay and rode “Supertubes,” for the first time.

They knew they’d found something good, but probably never imagined how good. 45 years later there’s over $340,000 in prize money at stake, but more importantly, there’s a chance to have your name etched among legends and be known as “good at J-Bay.”
