Kelly Slater (USA) will be the top seed for the US $400 000 Billabong Pro J-Bay when the world’s best surfers take to the waves of Supertubes in Jeffreys Bay on Thursday for Stop No. 4 of 10 on the 2010 ASP World Tour, the global series of events that determines surfing’s annual world champion.
(Friday, July 9th, 2010) Defending event champion and Billabong surfer, Joel Parkinson (29, Gold Coast, Qld AUS), has officially pulled out of next week’s Billabong Pro at Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, after badly slicing his foot while surfing at Snapper Rocks today.
I was recently filming with a Brazil film crew, as they wore T-Shirts with No Nukes in J-Bay sprayed on it. The maker of the movie, Thomas Mulcaire lives not far from a Nuclear power station in Brazil and is very aware of the effects such a development has on nature. They wish to show their solidarity towards us in the struggle to stop nuke development and create an awareness on an international level.
The starring surfers wore the t-shirts as we surfed J-Bay as well as Oyster Bay and they are including the No Nukes Campaign in their movie that will air on international television. The boys were also treated by having dinner over at Cheron Kraak´s and she urged us all to be at the march.
This is the post on Supertubes Surfging Foundation´s facebook page:
"Permission has been granted by the Kouga Municipality to hold a “No Nuke at Thyspunt” march on the 17th July at 9.30 a.m. opposite Billabong Factory shop.
March to the Municipal building between 10.15 and 10.30 a.m. Please request that everybody wears yellow or black. Everybody can bring their SA flag and vuvuzelas and... make a noise!" Cheron Kraak
