Get Yo 'Self To Night School
Not enough time in the day for you to learn all there is to know about
modern surfing dynamics? No worries, just go to night school…Red Bull
Night School that is. Running in conjunction with the Red Bull Night
Riders—an all-out, high-flying tow-at affair held under the lights and
in the lineup in Atlantic City—the Night School is a three-week
precursor held on lovely Nantucket Island. Amassing surfers from a
pool of over 15 of New England’s most core surf shops, Red Bull Night School gives the local boys (and girls) a
chance to pick up the tow-rope and soar with the best of them.And while you may once have known a man from Nantucket who had certain, how shall we say, attributes, chances are he couldn’t whip into a wave at 30 mph and launch into space. But for those men (and women) in Nantucket attending Night School, they’ll have a chance to learn how to tow-at from the best of ‘em. East Coast pit bosses like Sam Hammer, Raven Lundy, and last year’s Night Rider champ Andrew Gesler will all be on hand, working as “educators,” living with and coaching the ardent surf shop employees.
The deal is this: Squads from various surf shop up and down the Easter Seaboard will spend two to three-day stints living in the house in Nantucket and working with Red Bull’s elite athletes, as well as spending plenty of time behind their armada of waverunners. After cycling the best and the brightest through the crash pad over the course of three weeks, four surf shop teams of aspiring surfers (each team being made up of two surfers) will be invited to battle it out against the pros at Trump’s place in Atlantic City during the Red Bull Night Riders, which is coming up this August.
The house in Nantucket opens up this weekend, so stay tuned for live blogs, photos and video from Nantucket and the first-ever Red Bull Night School.
And if surfing at night in New Jersey’s not crazy enough for you, sign up for the Red Bull Soapbox Races today.
