2010 BIllabong Pro - Trials Final

by: Danny Spyra

The Billabong Pro Teahupoo boasts a venue largely considered one of the most dangerous waves on the planet. 48 of the world's best surfers will compete, but only 2 wildcards are guaranteed entry into the main event - the winner and the highest-placed Tahitian surfer.

 

The Billabong Pro Wildcards have a reputation for knocking off the top-seeded surfers. With little regard for world title ratings points, the wildcards have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Enjoy these highlights from the final day of the Trials!

Kustom Airstrike: Chippa Wilson Pulls a ‘Big Spin’
by: Danny Spyra

Chris Chippa Wilson weighs in with Big Spin from Kustom Airstrike on Vimeo.

Kustom Airstrike, the world's richest aerial surfing contest has entered its last week and the race for the $50k winner takes all prize money has just intensified with a late entry from one of Australia s most innovative surfers, Chris "Chippa" Wilson.

Chippa, who hails from Cabarita on the far Northern NSW Coast, got the entry in 6 days before the Aug 31 deadline, with an aerial that's bound to get a lot of interest.

"It's a skate move called a 'Big Spin'" said Chippa. "It's basically a backside 360 board varial, with a 180 body varial thrown in as well."

"The move is innovative because it's something completely different to what we normally do on surfboards. I like to bring some skate style into my surfing. It's no flip, but it's way more innovative than anything I've ever done!"

The event waiting period officially closes on August 31, 2010, with the winner to be announced in the first 2 weeks of September.
