Es ist wieder soweit, die Nominierungen für den Billabong XXL Big Wave Awards fueled by Monster Energy sind bekannt gegeben worden.
Nach 12 Monaten endet der jährliche XXL Zyklus am 19. März bei uns auf der Nordhalbkugel. Und alle die meinen eine der größten Wellen des Jahres gesurft zu haben müssen ihre Fotos und Videos eingereicht haben. Riesige Wellen gab es rund um den Globus an mehr oder weniger bekannten Big Wave Spots in Tahiti, Irland, Tasmanien, Portugal, Mexiko, Fidschi, Kalifornien und Hawaii. |
