J-Bay Open

The J-Bay Open takes place at Eastern Cape, South Africa from July 10th through the 21st. It is the sixth event on the ASP World Championship Tour season. Jeffreys Bay was on the ASP WCT schedule from 1996-2011 but it was out of the rotation the past two years. "It's by far the best stop on the tour for quality of high performance surfing. It's arguably the best righthand point in the world." said two-time winner Jordy Smith.
