Red Bull Big Wave Africa 2007, all set to go.

    

      

Cape Town - Red Bull are proud to announce their ninth edition of the Red Bull Big Wave Africa surfing event. This event, one of only three big wave paddle-only events in the world and the second longest running event, is set to take place at the big wave spot known as Dungeons, off the Sentinel in Hout Bay, Cape Town.

The waiting period for the event runs from 1 June until 31 August, with a 48-hour call for the event day to allow international surfers to make their way to South Africa. The contest organisers have opened up the field to allow 24 surfers to compete in the event, giving it a wider field and more scope.
