The Red Bull Tow-At is an invitation-only one-day event comprised of just ten surfers. Utilizing a Sea Doo personal watercraft, surfers will be sling-shot into waves at up to twenty miles-per hour leading to dramatic aerial and carving maneuvers.
The 2005 Red Bull Tow-At marked the first professional surfing tow-at in history, andset the tone for an exciting second event in 2006 that was won by Australian aeirial wizard and ASP World Tour veteran Josh Kerr. The 2007 Red Bull Tow-At was the closest finish in the event's history with Melbourne Beach, Florida's Alek Parker defeating Hawaii's Clay Marzo and California's Dane Reynolds in the final. The 2008 Tow-At was handily won by former ASP World Championship Tour surfer Shea Lopez.
The 2009 Red Bull Tow-At is being arranged now but will likely be held on the final weekend of the O'Neill SI Pro. A firm date should be available by early December 2008.
Among the surfers looking to participate in the tournament are Alex Gray, Nate Yeomans, Jason “RatBoy” Collins, Dylan Graves, Kai Barger, Eric Geiselman, Shea Lopez, Cory Lopez, Alek Parker, Raven Lundy, and Clay Marzo.
