This year’s JBay Winterfest will take place from 6 – 22 July, and looks set to be another exciting 2 weeks of surfing, live music and a whole lot more.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The Corona JBay Open Men’s and Women’s surfing contests will be the anchor events of the festival, with the best male and female surfers in the world descending on JBay and the perfect waves of Supertubes.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Filipe Toledo from Brazil is the defending champion, and he also won the tournament in 2017. Therefore this year he will be going for a hat trick, which has never happened at a Championship Tour level at this venue.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Filipe redefined high performance surfing at this contest in 2017, with a fast and futuristic aerial surfing performance, resulting in a perfect 10-point ride for one incredible wave, as well as the contest victory.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Jordy Smith from Durban is also a two times event champion and is always a well-supported surfer, with the local crowd cheering him on from the rafters whenever he takes off on a wave.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
He is always one of the best surfers in the water, and has the distinction of surfing a perfect 20-point heat back in 2017.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Jordy finished fifth on the World Surf League Championship Tour’s Jeep Leader Board in 2018 and will be wanting to improve on that ranking this year.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

Wade Carmichael from Australia was the stand-out surfer last year, competing on his first year on the Championship Tour. The rookie took out the talented Conner Coffin (USA) in the quarterfinals and Jordy Smith in the semifinals.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Coming up against Toledo in the final, the powerful natural-footer surfed with confidence and aggression, but fell on a final air attempt in the last few minutes, and finished runner-up to Toledo.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
His power surfing was well-suited to the long, open faces, and he will no doubt be full of confidence coming into this year’s event.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Kelly Slater, the USA’s 11-times world champion, will be competing for the last time as a Championship Tour surfer this year, having announced his upcoming retirement at the end of 2019.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Slater has 4 victories to his name at this tournament, and has often described it as one of his favourite events in the world.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Slater injured himself while free-surfing here in 2017, and has been struggling with his form ever since, but has made it clear that his final year on tour is coming with a focused and determined competitive act.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
It is a well-known fact that Slater is hungry for a 12th World Title, and this year will be his last chance to secure it.</div>

On the Women’s tour, event defending champion and current world champion Stephanie Gilmore from Australia will bring her smooth and stylish approach to the event again, hoping to claim her second win to follow on from her victory at the inaugural event last year.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
We can expect Lakey Peterson (USA) and Carissa Moore (Hawaii) to be hot on her heels this year, along with surfers like fierce Brazilian competitor Tatiana Weston-Webb, and the dynamic and popular Hawaiian surfer Coco Ho.</div>

This year will once again have the popular free music shows, and they will be moving across to the Supertubes Park.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Live In The Park will feature a range of top South African bands and musicians performing live.</div>

Last year the live music was one of the highlights of the festival, with large crowds gathering to watch the bands, enjoy the vibes and chill with a few Coronas at sunset after long days of excellent surfing.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The band names will be announced soon. Many of the bands who performed live last year called the JBay Winterfest one of the highlights of their year, so we can once again expect top bands to be part of this year’s Winterfest.</div>

<div class="entry-content" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
This year’s edition of the prestigious JBU Supertrial powered by Monster Energy promises a fast and lively event for the select invited surfers. With a waiting period from 1 – 11 June, this event has always enjoyed excellent Supertubes surf, and the 2017 edition should be no different.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The event is an exclusive invite-only tournament, and the winner receives a wildcard into the World Surf League Championship Tour event – the Corona Open JBay that takes place every year in Jeffreys Bay.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The JBU Supertrial is the only contest in the country that offers a stake into a Championship Tour competition, and a win here could very easily launch a young South African surfers’ pro career.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The 2017 version of this event will feature an exciting new format. “This year will see a fast-paced and dynamic contest structure,” said contest organizer Koffie Jacobs.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“This format will reward those surfers who surf hard and take chances from the get-go.”</div>
<h4 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: 'Roboto Condensed', sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">
The first batch of JBU Supertrial invited surfers have been announced</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Mikey February</strong> from Kommetjie in Cape Town recently won the Nelson Mandela Bay Surf Pro, and is in the mix for the JBU Supertrial.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Mikey has been a perennial performer in the event and has had some very close runner-up positions, but as yet has not found the win. With his current form this could be his year.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
uMhlanga surfer<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"> Beyrick De Vries</strong> is also a regular in the event and has shown a strong affinity for the tube at Supertubes including one incredible barrel before the contest started last year. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Beyrick was the 2016 WSL Africa champion after a stellar string of results around the Ballito Pro last year and would no doubt love to bank a JBU Supertrial victory.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
JBay local <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Matt McGillivray</strong> is one of the best out at the Supertubes racetrack on any good day of the year, and has had numerous contest results here and in the international arena. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
A determined competitive surfer, McGillivray has talent, excellent competitive skills, big match temperament and local knowledge – all the elements needed for a big result.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Dylan Lightfoot</strong> is another JBay local who knows how to surf the at-times complex Supers waves. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
He is a former JBU Supertrial winner, and knows what the judges look for when surfing out in his back yard. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Another extremely competitive surfer, Dylan has been known to win heats and events in the dying seconds.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The JBU Supertrial is a precursor event to the JBay Winterfest that takes place in Jeffreys Bay from July 12- 23.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The JBay Winterfest is supported by the Kouga Municipality.</div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The JBU Supertrial that happens every year at Supertubes in Jeffreys Bay will take place sometime during their normal waiting period slot of 1-11 June.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span></h6>

</div>
<div class="entry-content" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The event organisers have traditionally held these dates as a prime time for early winter swells, and this year will see the contestants on stand-by for a suitable swell during that 11-day window.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The event is an exclusive invite only tournament, and the winner receives a wildcard entry into the World Surf League Championship Tour event that takes place every year, the Corona JBay Open. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
It is the only contest in the country that offers a stake into a World Championship Tour competition, and a win here could very easily launch a young South African surfers’ pro career.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The value of a chance to compete against surfers like Kelly Slater, Gabriel Medina, John John Florence or Jordy Smith cannot be measured, and that sort of experience is absolutely vital in a surfer’s bid to compete at the top level of the sport.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“This year we will see a change of format, which will be announced shortly, along with the list of invited surfers,” said contest organizer Koffie Jacobs.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“The JBU Surf Club is looking forward to hosting this event again, and being part of getting a South African surfer the chance to compete at a Championship Tour level. Good luck to all competitors.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The Supertrial is a precursor event to the JBay Winterfest that takes place in Jeffreys Bay from July 12- 23. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Kouga Mayor Elza Van Lingen said that the Municipality welcomes the event that will bring huge media coverage to Jeffreys Bay.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“We are in full support of the JBU Supertrial and wish the best for all the surfers who will be invited. Two of the previous three Supertrials have been won by local surfers, and it will be great to see a home grown surfer compete in the Corona JBay Open,” said Van Lingen.</div>

Steven Sawyer from Jeffreys Bay is the 2016 JBU Supertrial presented by RVCA winner, and claims his wildcard slot into the World Surf League’s JBay Open Championship Tour event.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The surf pumped on Saturday, and the 24 invited surfers were blessed with consistent 4 – 6 foot waves all day. There were long tube rides, and some powerful rail surfing from the best surfers in the country, but it was the local surfer who emerged victorious in the end.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Sawyer, the only goofy-footer in the final, was trailing in second place behind Dale Staples, when he picked up a long wave near the end of the heat. Performing some big turns on the open face, and getting a tube-ride, he secured the score that he needed to win.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“I had no idea that I had won,” said an elated Sawyer on the beach immediately after the final. “I didn’t think I had the lead, but I am so stoked. I have wanted to surf in the JBay Open since I was a little kid and now I get my chance.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Sawyer, who had a slow start in the final, admitted that he didn’t win the final with his best performance. “Well, I didn’t win by posting nines,” said Sawyer, “I didn’t do that much out there, but did enough to win. I have never been so happy to win an event.”</div>

</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Dale Staples was in the lead for much of the final, but couldn’t hold at the end, succumbing to Sawyer’s late charge, and ended in second place. The 2014 JBU Supertrial winner Dylan Lightfoot was in third place, and Sean Holmes was in fourth.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Holmes, one of the most successful wildcards at JBay suffered a big wipeout in the beginning of the final that rattled him a little. Holmes went for broke on a big set wave, and came unstuck at the top, falling through the air and barely missing his board.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“I really got thrashed out there,” said Holmes afterwards. “My vest got pulled right off me, and I was totally winded.”</div>

Winterfest spokesperson Brenton Williams said that the ’15 edition of the festival promises to be bigger and better than ever before.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“This is the third year the JBay Winterfest is taking place and we will be building on the successful event that was held in 2014 when an estimated 50 000 people visited the town to watch the JBay Open and to participate in the multiple sporting codes that were on offer,” said Williams.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
At this stage it seems that all the events from last year will be taking place again in 2015, with the JBay Mountain Bike Open, the Core Sokkie Jol skate event and the Infood Blu Cold Water Swim Classic all confirmed for 2015.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_21071" style="background-color: #f8f8f8; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); clear: both; color: #555555; font-family: arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px auto 7px; max-width: 475px !important; overflow: hidden; padding: 4px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline; width: 490px;">

The Winterfest draws feet into Jeffreys Bay in the traditionally quiet winter months and is a community organised event that took the place of the now defunct Billabong Pro, which folded back in 2012.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Supertubes produced epic waves for the JBay Open last year and the surfers on the world tour are all looking forward to coming back to South Africa in 2015 as Jeffreys Bay is renowned for producing consistently good waves during the winter months,” said Koffie Jacobs, the organiser of the Winterfest.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The JBay Open is event 6 on the Samsung Galaxy Championship Tour and Mick Fanning is sure to be back in JBay to defend his title that he won in 2014 in huge waves at Supertubes.</div>

“We are looking adding a junior surf event to cater for the youngsters during the Winterfest this year and more details about this contest will be announced shortly,” added Jacobs.</div>

<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Surfersvillage Global Surf News</strong>, 9 November, 2014 - According to a wide-sweeping trend report released out of the World Travel Market event in London this week, researchers say that the African continent is becoming a highly sought-after destination for the growing population of surfers. </div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
While South Africa already boasts an established reputation in the international surfing community, the report points out that surf tourism is developing in other countries like Madagascar, Zanzibar, Mozambique and Morocco.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The report by market research firm Euromonitor is also quick to point out, however, that the spread of the Ebola virus has had a negative impact on tourism in Western Africa this year, and could stall the development of surf tourism. </div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As part of its aim to become an official Olympic sport, the International Surfing Association (ISA) has made Africa a priority in its promotion of the sport, which they say can stimulate local economies by creating new jobs, boosting tourism and inspiring young people.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
South Africa, in particular, has been a ‘surfing stronghold’ for years with annual national championships, the proliferation of surf schools and plans to open a surf museum. Of the ISA’s 86 members, 14 are from Africa. Next year, Ghana hosts the Africa Surf Series, while specialist tour operators are already offering family surf and adventure holidays across the continent.</div>

“Surfers are adventurous travelers and Africa offers them a vast coastline with undiscovered and uncrowded beaches,” said World Travel Market’s senior director, Simon Press.</div>

And in her first heat in Peru, Faye Zoetmulder (Port Elizabeth) showed her liking for the pumping waves by recording scores of 6.83 and 6.57 for a heat total of 13.40 out of 20, the fourth highest in the Women’s division.</div>

Zoetmulder left second placed Cristina Vargas (ECU) requiring a near perfect 9.34 for the heat win as the top two advanced to Women’s Qualifying Round 2 while third and fourth placed Pamela Verboonen (MEX) and Sofia Loewy (COL) were relegated to the Repercharge rounds</div>

February was on fire again in the big glassy peaks at Punta Rocas., delivering rides of 7.17 and 8.27 for a two wave heat total of 15.44 which left Peruvian standout and hometown favourite Gabriel Villaran 3.5 points adrift in second place. The pair progressed to Round 4 and are now amongst the last 12 competitors still in the Qualifying stream of the double-elimination format.</div>

Meanwhile Tanika Hoffman (Hout Bay) narrowly missed out on second place in her opening encounter, earning 8.40 points to the 8.54 of second placed Karelle Poppke (TAH). Heat winner Dominic Barona (ECU) absolutely shredded the Punta Rocas lineup, racking up 18.23 points, the highest total of both the Men’s and Women’s divisions to date.</div>

Hoffman will recommence her campaign in the Repercharge rounds, as will Casey Grant who also slipped to third place in his Round 3 clash.

After getting a second high scoring ride of 7.27, Florence edged into the lead, but Jordy kept his composure and got a back up wave worth 7.17 to win the final and claim his first victory of the World Championship tour since the 2013 Billabong Rio Pro title in May last year.</div>
