Francisco Porcella nella top 5 del Biggest Wave Awards con quest’onda surfata a Jaws

 

Europa e Hawaii quest’anno occupano gran parte delle posizioni delle top 5 delle varie categorie del Billabong XXL grazie a una stagione abbondante di grosse mareggiate, con Jaws che domina il Ride of the Year e l’Europa il Biggest Wave Award.

Mancano ancora da annunciare le categorie del Biggest Wipeout e le due categorie Overall performance maschile e femminile, che saranno svelate la prossima settimana, ma intantoil sardo-hawaiano Francisco Porcella è già dentro, e si gioca il premio nella categoria Biggest Wave Award per una bomba surfata a Jaws lo scorso 22 gennaio.

Dopo la chiusura del waiting period lo scorso 19 marzo ora si aspetta la cerimonia finale di premiazione in programma il 2 maggio prossimo al Groove Theater ad Anaheim  in California.

Qui sotto tutte le nomination in ordine alfabetico:
