After an inspiring event last year, Red Bull Nighshift heads to Durban.

Last year saw the inaugural Red Bull Nightshift take place on Camps Bay beach, and what a huge success it was. A crowd of an estimated 10,000 people arrived to watch Jordy and his best mates get towed into waves and flung into the sky under the spotlights in this tow-at demonstration surfing event. Massive moves were pulled off at full speed behind the Waverunner by all of the invited surfers, silhouetted against the night sky by spotlights and hundreds of flash cameras going off simultaneously.

This year the event moves to the Durban beachfront and the iconic piers at North Beach. The piers and the close-access beachfront make it a perfect venue for mounting spotlights to light up the night sky for Jordy and friends. The event is set for Saturday 30 June 2012, will kick off at about 3PM, and will go late on into the night.

"I'm really pumped up," said Jordy of the upcoming event. "It's going to be bigger and better than last year, and this time we're taking it to my home town, Durban."

After the surfing, Shadowclub and Durban locals City Bowl Mizers and be jamming well into the night before the party moves over to Joe Kools.
