Blue Crush 2 – the wait is over

The Hollywood blockbuster Blue Crush 2 is set for a June 2011 release. The film features Jeffreys Bay quite prominently as scenes from the movie were shot at Supertubes, Lower Point and other venues in the town.

The Blue Crush bus was a familiar sight in Jeffreys Bay while filming took place. Local wave rider,Wayne De Lange was involved with a lot of the water footage that needed to be filmed.

Supetubes was a Hollywood set during filming of Blue crush 2. That didn't prevent local Warren Dean from getting his waves.
East London surfer Rosie Hodge is the double for the lead role played by Sasha Jackson in the movie and all the actual surfing is performed by the Queensberry Point local.

From the filmmakers of Blue Crush comes a movie about fun, friendship and a thrilling adventure of a lifetime. Dana, a killer surfer from California, travels to the breathtaking coasts of South Africa, determined to fulfill her mother’s dream of surfing the legendary Jeffrey’s Bay.
With nothing but her mom’s journal as a guide and a fun-loving group of surf fanatics watching her back, Dana faces epic waves, tough locals and her own fears in this unforgettable surf odyssey.

Aloha,
