Following the inaugural Natural Selection Tour Surf Competition in Micronesia, NST is now heading somewhere a bit more terrestrial for year two; the raw and wave-dense coastline of South Africa’s Western Cape.

Natural Selection Tour is proud to introduce 'The Build', a new film pulling back the curtain on the stories and characters that make NST unique. Journey along in this episode of 'The Build: Surf’ as twelve surfers and a crew of thirty camp off-grid and under the stars, adjusting to a new rhythm of sport — one where the waves alone set the agenda.

Tune in September 25 for the premiere of NST Surf on Red Bull TV and Red Bull Surfing YouTube to see if Mother Nature delivers and which surfers come out on top.

This is Natural Selection.
