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 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 will be in conjunction with the 11th Annual Surfing The Blues and the world famous George’s Music Springing the Blues Festival in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.
WHO: 16 of Florida’s most dynamic surfers will take to the water to battle head-to-head for the crown. The diverse grouping will include working class heroes, weekend warriors, childhood prodigies and international surf stars including the Thompson brothers Cody, Evan and Tristan as well as some other North Florida heavy weights like Justin Quintal and Brady McKenzie.
With so many rivalries not just in Jacksonville, but also all over Florida, this year’s event has expanded its reach and for the first time there will be a talented pool of surfers from outside the 904, like Blake Jones, Noah Schweizer and the “Golden Boy” Evan Geiselman.
