      <text><![CDATA[Supertubes, Jeffreys Bay , South Africa14-24 July 2012  The optimum experience remains attending the event and there is nothing quite like watching the action live from the natural amphitheatre on the dunes overlooking the liquid runway known as Supertubes, mingling with the world%u2019s best surfers and enjoying the legendary party atmosphere in J-Bay throughout the 11-day event. Be there.The Billabong Pro J-Bay 2012 is proudly presented by South Africa%u2019s adventure province Eastern Cape Parks and Tourism Agency and further supported by Carling Black Label, Monster Energy, Coca Cola, Amarok, Vida e Caffe, Tavcor, VonZipper and Nixon.On this planet there are certain waves that define what kind of surfer you are. Some guys go by %u201CPipe specialist,%u201D while an even more select few are referred to as %u201Cgood at J-Bay.%u201D For over four decades now, the best right-hand pointbreak in the world, Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, has been one of surfing%u2019s most defining proving grounds. Once again, it will be a momentous affair. Often sited as the turning point of the ASP World Tour season, the Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay, has the capacity to make or break a world title run.%u201CKelly%u2019s obviously the man to beat out there,%u201D says Taj Burrow. %u201CAt J-Bay last year he had four wins already, but things are a little bit different this year, and that makes things really interesting as we head down the back stretch of the tour.With its wide-open, racetrack walls, and cavernous tube sections, J-Bay is an elite surfer%u2019s dream line-up. Think of the names that have carved themselves a place on the historic walls: Shaun Tomson, Mark Occhilupo, Tom Curren, Kelly Slater, Andy Irons, Joel Parkinson, and Taj Burrow, some of the best surfers to step on a board in the last 30 years.During Easter week in 1964 a group of six Cape Town surfers pulled up to the dunes and rocky point of Jeffreys Bay and rode %u201CSupertubes,%u201D for the first time. They knew they%u2019d found something good, but probably never imagined how good. 45 years later there%u2019s over $340,000 in prize money at stake, but more importantly, there%u2019s a chance to have your name etched among legends and be known as %u201Cgood at J-Bay.%u201DFor those attending the Billabong Pro there is also the legendary party atmosphere in J-Bay throughout the event. The details of the live music shows and other entertainment functions are currently being compiled. Watch this space.]]></text>
