2008 XXL Billabong Ride Of The Year Award Nominees
April 7th, 2008 by Adam
The finalists have been announced for the XXL Billabong Ride of the Year. The winner will be announced on April 11, 2008 at the eighth-annual awards ceremony taking place at the Grove Theater in Anaheim, CA. There are only five nominees for the Ride of the Year and the famous and treacherous Teahupoo weighs in with three nominees. Believe it or not, but the swell that produced Teahupoo’s three nominee waves were caught on video on the same day!
The top winner with the Ride of the Year will take home a sweet $50,000 paycheck. Not a bad day’s work for risking your life and life-long bragging rights. I think that either Ian or Shane’s ride will take the Oscar this year. Take a look at the video and comment on which wave is the “Ride of the Year.”
Check back tomorrow and witness the top five Monster Paddle Award Nominees.
