EAST COAST SURFERS TAKE THE SPOTLIGHT

August 17, 2007

WHO: Red Bull Night Riders features 16 of the best surfers on the
East Coast competing in an extreme tow-at event as the dark
ocean waters are illuminated by huge towering lights.

The invited riders include Matt Keenan, Andrew Gesler, Rob
Kelly, Kevin Richards, Sam Hammer, Dean Randazzo, Raven Lundy,
Lucas Rogers, Jeff Meyers, Ian Parnell, Ian Bloch, Frankie
Walsh, Sean Kilarney, Chris Kelly, Billy Hume and Balaram
Stack.

WHAT: Red Bull Night Riders is a competitive surfing experience under
a very unique circumstance – being towed at a wave at night.
Surfers form their own teams of two, one ski driver and one
surfer. Each surfer on the team of two gets two tow-ats for
their chance to get the biggest air and turn the best trick.

Teams will compete in three different categories for a chance
to win an overall prize purse of $5,000. The first and most
important category is best trick, where teams will be judged by
a combination of the biggest air, degree of difficulty in the
trick, and landing the air and surfing away. The second
category is amplitude, rewarding the surfer who goes the
biggest - even if he doesn't land. The final category is
gouge. It’s the hardest, strongest, most powerful turn at high
speed after being towed by the ski.

WHEN: Friday, August 17, 9 p.m.

WHERE: Atlantic City, New Jersey in front of the Trump Plaza Beach Bar
Large crowds are expected to come out to support the local
surfers and experience this unique event held a stone’s throw
from the massive Caesar’s Pier and famous Atlantic City
Boardwalk. Red Bull Night Riders will light up the ocean by
artificial light sources surrounding the event location.
