Xpreshon has announced the waiting periods for three of the most anticipated surfing events on tour. Starting November 1st, the Northern Hemisphere leg of the tour will have a waiting period that extends through March 31st, 2014. Once the waves exceed 30 feet, organizers will signal the “green light,” giving contestants 72 hours to get to the venue. The three venues now waiting for the signal include the Basque Country, Spain, Half Moon Bay, California, and Nelscott Reef, Oregon.
Some of the big wave chargers set to compete are Greg Long (USA), Mark Healey (Haw), Peter Mel (USA), Jamie Sterling (USA), Grant Baker (South Africa), Carlos Burle (Brazil), Shawn Dollar (USA), Ben Wilkinson (Australia), and Naxto Gonzalez (Spain).
Shawn Dollar, Xpreshon Big Wave World Tour surfer, said in a recent press release, “Myself and the other big wave surfers around the world are ready and it’s amazing to all be together and face these giant swells. To surf massive waves with this brotherhood is truly an amazing thing.”
Watch all events live from the Xpreshon windows 8 app or for more information, visit the Big Wave World Tour website. The Xpreshon Xbox 360 app (available in Australia only) also allows you to watch the event live from your TV. With the extensive waiting period, organizers are able to monitor huge ocean storms and look for a combination of conditions, ensuring an epic event.
