Burle na cerimônia do MSC 08/09

Falta apenas um dia para a cerimônia de abertura de um dos mais tradicionais eventos de ondas grandes do hemisfério norte, o Mavericks Surf Contest, que acontece nesta sexta-feira (30/10), em São Francisco, Califórnia (EUA).

A competição terá release oficial liberado na próxima semana, porém a lista de convidados já está definida.

Entre os grandes nomes convidados estão: os brasileiros Alex Martins, Carlos Burle e Danilo Couto, entre outros grandes nomes do surfe de ondas grandes mundial como Jamie Sterling, Tyler Smith e Brock Little. Também estão presentes na lista os campeões das edições anteriores: Greg Long, que foi o campeão da última edíção em 2008, Grant “Twiggy” Baker (2006), Anthony Tashnick (2005) e Daryl “Flea” Virostko, vencedor da primeira edição em 2004.

Na cerimônia de abertura Frank Quirarte, fotógrafo e gerente da marca Mavericks, anunciará o line up dos surfistas e passará a palavra para Doc Paskowitz, um dos precursores do surf na Califórnia Doc, que fará uma oração pelo evento e todas as pessoas envolvidas. Após algumas palavras de outros grandes surfistas como Peter Mel, Gary Linden e os campeões dos eventos passados, os big riders remarão até o outside e voltarão ao Oceano Hotel para uma festa e o sorteio das baterias.

Carlos Burle embarcou para o Hawaii direto para São Francisco, Califórnia, para participar da cerimônia nessa sexta-feira (30/10).

“A expectativa é maravilhosa. Encomendei uma prancha muito boa para Mavs com o Jeff Clark. Tenho treinado bastante e focado em campeonatos na remada. Competi bem no Chile e Peru, quando fiz final nos dois eventos. Quero deixar novamente minha marca neste inverno nas ondas geladas de Mavs”, disse Burle direto do Hawaii.

Go Big!

!versão em português!

We’re just two days away from opening ceremony and we want to let everybody know what’s happening with this year’s event and opening ceremony. We’re going to be sending out periodic email blasts to keep everybody updated on some of the details that get overlooked, events associated with the contest, opportunities and just mainly to stay connected.

First on the agenda is the issue of the release. There’s been a lot of email traffic going back and forth about this. We are working through the proposed changes and will have a completed version of the release next week. If you have already signed it and turned it in do not worry. You will be given the opportunity to sign an amended version. Just to be clear, nobody was ever in any danger of being removed off the list. The packet, as it stands, is solid and with a few changes we will collectively get it set in stone so we don’t have to revisit this issue in the future. Thanks for your patience.

Next we want to let you know who’s sponsoring the event this year.

Sony Ericsson is the presenting sponsor of this year’s contest. Additional contest sponsors include: Jim Beam Bourbon, Barracuda Networks, Moose Guen and Jane Sutherland of MVision, Facebook, the Bay Club, The Corporate Law Group, Gnarly Head Wines, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Airship Ventures, Vertical Response, Surfer Magazine, Oceano Hotel & Spa, Stormsurf.com, Rickshaw Bagworks, Upstream and Capture Technologies.

Frank Quirarte has recently joined the MSV Team and will be acting as Brand Manager. He will also be working with Katherine, myself and the MSV crew on the event. He will be announcing the line-up on the beach at the Opening Ceremony and then introducing a very special guest, Doc Paskowitz. Doc has written a special prayer just for the event.

After that Gary Linden will be saying a few words along with Pete Mel. Then we’ll be asking the past champions to step forward and say something as well. Twiggy won’t be attending he’s waiting for a solid swell but has written something for us to read on his behalf.

After that we’ll paddle out as usual and then back to the Oceano Hotel for the post celebration and heat draw. Everybody is genuinely stoked to get this year’s waiting period underway.
