SURFING GETS PERSONAL AT RED BULL CALL EM OUT
16 Shredders Set to Catch Waves and Call the Shots at George’s Music Springing the Blues Festival
WHAT: Red Bull Call Em Out is a unique surf event in which a dynamic pool of 16 established surfing professionals are selected to battle it out in a one on one format. Competitors have the ability to either “call out” or be “called out” by their rival competitors in a double elimination competition like the old west gunfights. The field will be divided in half at random to see who has the chance to call their competition out, and who will be called out to take to the water for each round of one on one battles.
This year’s Red Bull Call Em Out is run in conjunction with the 10th annual Surfing The Blues and the world famous George’s Music Springing the Blues Festival in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.
WHO: 16 North Florida dynamic surfers will take to the water to battle the competition head to head until there is only one winner crowned. The diverse grouping will include the working class heroes, weekend warriors, childhood prodigies and the likes of international surf stars such as Cody Thompson, Asher Nolan and Gabe Kling.
The history with this range of surfers is personal and run deeps with local childhood rivalries still cemented in the North Florida surf scene.
Dane “Jah” Jeffereys will also be on-site bringing some local flair through his emcee talents as the day’s curator for the event between heats. This event is sanctioned by the Florida Surfing Association.
