Teahupoo Weighs In For Monster Swell Of The Year

Teahupoo Weighs In For Billabong XXL Global Big Wave Awards

Teahupoo-Tahiti—(November 2nd, 2007)

Dare devil surfers from around the globe have converged on the small Pacific island of Tahiti to ride the swell of the year at the famed Teahupoo (Cheo-poo) reef break.

A handful of die hard chargers including Hawaiian Big Wave legend SHANE DORIAN, local Teahupoo specialist MANOA DROLLET (Drol-Lay) and Australian ace DYLAN LONGBOTTOM (Gold Coast) conquered monstrous 6m waves in ideal conditions.  

The heaving left hander which is recognised as the heaviest wave on earth, breaks over razor sharp coral reef and due to the velocity of the swells, surfers must be towed in with the assistance of Personal Water Craft (PWC).

While a number of crews descended on the break, it was the local experience of DROLLET coupled with the mind blowing antics of DORIAN who dominated the session, riding the biggest and deadliest waves.

The surfers are all vying for contention in the Billabong XXL Global Big Wave Awards which recognise the biggest and most challenging waves captured on film and imagery in a 12 month period and carry a $USD 92,500 total prize pool.  

BRAZILIAN surfer MAYA GABEIRA (My-Ya Ga-Beera) who won the Female Best Overall Performance award at the 2006 Billabong XXL Big Wave awards suffered one of the wipe-outs of the day after falling victim to a huge Teahupoo tube.  GABEIRA is only one of a few female surfers to ever tackle the treacherous break.  

Frenchman BENJAMIN SANCHEZ weighed in with a XXL contender of his own, finding the right line in the crowded line-up to snare one of the biggest sets of the day.  

While it has been an active year of big wave riding at locations in Australia, Chile, South Africa and New Zealand, this new Tahiti swell is set to rock the foundations of current entries in the Ride Of The Year, Biggest Wave and Monster Tube Categories.

Winners will be announced at a gala awards night in California next April after all rides are scrutinized by an experienced judging panel.  DROLLET, DORIAN and LONGBOTTOM are all former winners.  A full list of entries and further information can be found on www.billabongxxl.com
