For more than
forty years the crisp lines of Jeffrey's Bay have lured
surfers from all around the globe, with Supertubes being
acknowledged as one of the top waves on the planet.
18 years ago Country Feeling started the Surf Classic
competition to start putting South African surfers on
the international competitive track, and it is today
the longest running surf competition in SA with 2005
being the 21st event. Starting out as the Country Feeling
J-Bay Surf Classic in 1983 it was soon upgraded to ASP
World Tour status, and in 1984 the entire surfing world
took notice as thundering 8-12ft lines fired down through
Supertubes, prompting ASP General Al Hunt to claim it
as one of the top 20 contests of all time.
