While surfers in the Northern Hemisphere await the arrival of El Niño-fueled big winter waves, there has been no shortage of massive swells around the world in the last six months. Just last week, Shipstern Bluff — a notoriously shallow wave off the southern tip of Tasmania, Australia — produced some of the most spectacular rides of the year and triggered numerous entries into the BILLABONG XXL GLOBAL BIG WAVE AWARDS. Spawned by a massive storm in the Southern Ocean, the huge swell was challenged by a group of big wave chargers including Aussies MARTI PARADISIS and KARL ATKINS, who used jet powered watercraft to tow into the towering walls of water.

Visiting surfer JAMES HICK — who hails from the unlikely hometown of Jersey, England — accomplished some of the day’s most heart-stopping rides.

The devilish Tasmanian surf session also featured its share of spectacular wipeouts. Despite the bone-jarring impacts, there were no serious injuries.

Several successfully completed waves are now candidates for the BILLABONG XXL RIDE OF THE YEAR AWARD and its US$50,000 first prize. The tenth annual BILLABONG XXL AWARDS take place in California next April and honor the biggest and best rides of the previous twelve months, anywhere in the world, based on the photographic evidence.

Other top rides to date include a huge paddle-in wave by GREG LONG at Puerto Escondido, Mexico. LONG, from San Clemente, California, is no stranger to the XXL stage, having won the 2009 Ride of the Year Award.
Also topping the contenders for the Monster Paddle Award is South African GRANT BAKER, who stroked into an oversized peak at Dungeons, near Cape Town on the southern edge of the African continent. MARK MATHEWS of Maroubra, New South Wales, crossed his home continent to score one of the year’s roundest tube rides in Western Australia. Both BAKER and MATHEWS are previous XXL finalists.

This season has also seen some of the most spectacular rides ever turned in by female surfers. Three-time Billabong Girls Best Performance winner MAYA GABEIRA (Gab-yerra) of Brazil rode the what may be the biggest wave ever by a woman at South Africa’s Dungeons, and seven time ASP world champ LAYNE BEACHLEY was filmed emerging from one of the deepest tubes ever claimed by the fairer sex at Maroubra, near her home in Sydney, Australia.

Meanwhile, the strengthening El Niño weather condition bodes well for the North Pacific and Atlantic as surfers in Hawaii, California and Europe prepare for bigger-than-average storms and swells in the coming months. The biggest waves recorded in the Pacific Ocean in modern times occurred during the last two major El Nino events in 1997-98 and 1982-83. Surfers have until the end of winter on March 19 to qualify for the Billabong XXL Awards and its US$130,000 in prize money.

That was the weirdest session I’ve had in ages. Why the did I paddle out right where the biggest, nastiest waves were smashing down. Half way through my punishment I thought of giving up, but kept going because I’m as stubborn as and didn’t want to put a “smugger” smile on Tony’s face. Glee! At last I was out the back wearing my smug smile. Ha, ha. Spent the rest of the session marvelling at the beautiful rain on the green water as the surf spray lifted up into space. Oh, and dodging all those fantastic rogue waves. Watched some guys taking off on some truly scary, barrelling waves and listened to spectators hooting with joy. I felt their joy. Yes, I caught enough of my own joy to be happy. So I’m happy. Very. Is there a better way to start the day? What keeps you coming back? surfing is awesome…right!

Bondi Beach, home to some of the worlds greatest surfers, became home to a new surfing phenomenon today when Towel Surfing was born!

Over 200 people joined in synchronous dance on their towels to the music of Australian music icon Ben Lee in a perfectly choreographed routine that amazed onlookers.

It started with one, lone individual, who walked through the crowd of sunbathers and surfers and placed his boombox on the sand in the middle of the crowded beach and pressed play. What followed was a contagion of rhythm and dance as one by one other beachgoers joined in began surfing on their towels.

They kicked their feet, paddled with their hands and bobbed up and down checking for waves all while remaining on their towels, dry on the pristine sand of Bondi Beach.
