Round 1 Heat Draw Decided For The JBU Supertrial

Round 1 Heat Draw Decided For The JBU Supertrial

Jeffreys Bay – The first round of the JBU Supertrial presented by RVCA has been drawn. With the contest waiting period of 1-12 June opening this Monday, surfers will need to be on their toes and ready to head for JBay at a moments notice. There are some big storms lurking, and should the forecast look favorable the contest organisers will have no hesitation in calling the contest on.

Surfers in round 1 will obviously need to be present on the morning of the event, or risk losing their spots to one of the very capable alternates in the event.

With only 24 surfers in the event, all heats are loaded, and the contest is going to be cut-throat and exciting from the get-go.
