<p>Na ocasião, foram selecionados 3 surfistas que irão competir no evento principal com os melhores big riders do planeta nas ondas de Punta de Lobos.</p>
<p>Os jurados locais, Matias Mediano, Puito Diaz and Nachi Vargas tiveram trabalho para slecionar um ranking após 4 baterias de 1 hora cada com 19 surfistas competindo, dentre eles uma mulher, a destemida Janelle Anderson que botou pra baixo mostrando bastante aitude.</p>
<p>Reinaldo Ibarra, Matias Lopez and Leon Vicuna foram os melhores segundo os juízes e vão se juntar aos também chilenos Cristian Merello (vencedor do evento ano passado), Ramon Navarro, Diego Medina e Fernando Zeggers no evento principal que abre a temporada 2011/2012 do circuito mundial de ondas grandes, o Big Wave World Tour.</p>

A segunda edição do Big Wave World Tour chega ao fim e Jamie Sterling é o novo campeão do circuito. O brasileiro Carlos Burle, campeão da primeira edição, ficou em quarto lugar seguido por mais um brazuca, Marcos Monteiro que apareceu em quinto.</p>
<p>Jamie será oficialmente premiado em 30 de abril de 2011 na cerimônia de premiação que acontecerá na Surfing Heritage Foundation, em San Clemente, California. Até então, o campeão não recebeu nenhum troféu mas, o site do Big Wave World Tour já anuniou que Jamie Sterling será coroado como campeão. Além disso, em sua página do Facebook, Jamie já recebeu as congratulações de amigos e atletas. Todos sabem que ele foi o campeão pois esteve em todas as finais do circuito, inclusive, vancendo em Pico Alto, no Peru e assumiu a liderança após a etapa de Nelscott Reef.</p>
<p>Não foi nada fácil montar toda estrutura para realização do segundo Circuito Mundia de Ondas Grandes. Basta perguntar a Gary Linden, fundador e manager do circuito. É preciso ter um monte de coisas convergindo a seu favor: além dos patrocinadores e dos melhores atletas do mundo, a mãe natureza precisa colaborar enviando ondas gigantes que cheguem ao tamanho mínimo necessário para a realização dos eventos de Big Surf.</p>
<p>Infelizmente, nesta temporada as duas últimas paradas do circuito, em Mavericks e Todos Santos, não aconteceram por falta de ondas com tamanho. A última etapa com ondas foi em Nelscott Reef, em novembrode 2010. A segunda edição do Circuito Mundial de Ondas Grandes (BWWT) foi encerrada em 28 de fevereiro de 2011.</p>
<blockquote><p>Obviamente eu estava acompanhando meus pontos e sabia que era o lider. Restavam aindas as etapas de Mavs e de Todos. Fiquei esperando que alguma delas acontecesse pois as coisas poderiam mudar e quem sabe eu ser campeão em uma dessas etapas. Quando o período encerrou em 28 de fevereiro, eu pensei: é isso! Eu ganhei&#8230; [risos].  </p></blockquote>
<p> Disse o campeão. </p>
<p>Parabéns ao novo campeão Jamie Sterling.</p>
<p><strong>Veja como fiou a classificação final do Big Wave World Tour 2010/2011:</strong><br />
1st Jamie Sterling &#8211; 2509<br />

<h5>Jamie Sterling will be crowned The Big Wave World Champion 10/11</h5>
<div id="attachment_6012" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/50906.jpg"><img src="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/50906-300x214.jpg" alt="Jamie Sterling © Kaenon" title="Jamie Sterling © Kaenon" width="300" height="214" class="size-medium wp-image-6012" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jamie Sterling © Kaenon</p></div>Jamie Sterling will be crowned the Big Wave World Champion 2010/2011 on April 30th at the Surfing Heritage Foundation (San Clemente, Ca). Even before the announcement was made official, tons of congratulations poured through Sterling Facebook page. Jamie reached the final of every events held this season including winning in Pico Alto (Peru) and had a commanding lead after Nelscott Reef.</p>
<blockquote><p>I had been obviously tracking my rating on the tour all year and I was waiting for Maverick&#8217;s and Todos to happen. That was going to change things as far as the ratings go. Either it&#8217;d increase my lead even more or have my lead decrease depending on who won. But these events didn&#8217;t get to happen this year, due to lack of big swells. So the closing periods ended on the 28th of February and it was like&#8230;I won. [Laughs]. So I just kind of waited for the February 28th date. I was hoping that there would be a swell and I could win it with Todos or Maverick&#8217;s happening. But hey, a win&#8217;s a win. I&#8217;ll take it. </p></blockquote>
<p>Starting a new surf world tour is not an easy task. Just ask Gary Linden. But the key is getting the surfers behind it (which he did). Next step is getting the sponsor backing (which is happening). But the third, uncontrollable variable is being on the receiving end of an XXL swell. (Or, ideally, a few XXL swells.) </p>
<p>Aside from an early NPAC flare up in November at Nelscott Reef, the last two tour stops (Mav&#8217;s and Todos) of 2010/2011 didn&#8217;t happen. And just as those waiting periods slammed shut on February 28th, Jamie Sterling let out a long sigh of relief. He didn&#8217;t get a phone call. There were no trophies or ceremonies (until he&#8217;s officially crowned in late April). But Sterls and everyone else on tour knew it was officially over. </p>

<h5>Jay at Maverick’s Big Wave event begins wait period</h5>

The day began with a touching opening ceremony honoring beloved Santa Cruz surfer Jay Moriarity, for whom the contest is named, and a paddle out and ceremonial surf ring in the calm waters by the reef break.</p>
<p>The official contest waiting period begins Wednesday and continues through Feb. 28. The invitees get to vote on contest-worthy swells. Once the majority picks one, they will have 24-hours notice to get to the break near Half Moon Bay.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think people really know what an honor it is to be standing here among these 30 world-class guys,&#8221; said defending Mav&#8217;s champion Chris Bertish of South Africa as he stood board to board with contestants, organizers and surf community notables on Maverick&#8217;s Beach. &#8220;Jay is truly the epitome of what big wave surfing is all about. It&#8217;s about respect for others, the brotherhood of big wave surfing and to have a smile on your face every time you go out. I&#8217;m stoked to be here.&#8221;</p>

Infelizmente, nenhum brasileiro conseguiu chegar na final do evento que teve ondas enormes passando dos 13 metros.</p>
<p>Carlos Burle disse, ainda no quarto do hotel, que uma das primeiras cenas que viu enquanto colocava a roupa de borracha foi o jet ski virado na areia com a galera comemorando por estar vivo ali na beira do mar.  O mar estava mesmo muito grande, disse o campeão. A bateria de Burle foi a primeira do dia, a de Danilo foi a segunda e a de Marcos Monteiro foi a quarta.</p>
<p>Os três primeiros colocados de cada bateria se classificaram para a primeira semifinal. O baiano Danilo Couto ficou na quarta colocação, sendo eliminado do evento. Carlos Burle passou em segundo lugar na bateria e garantiu a vaga na semi junto com Marcos Monteiro. Os dois acabaram sendo eliminados nas semifinais. </p>
<p>A grande final em Nelscott Reff cantou com o havaiano Kealii Mamala, o sul-africano Chris Bertish, o californiano Rusty Long, o havaiano Jamie Sterling, o californiano Peter Mel e o havaino Kohl Christensen.</p>
<p>&#8220;As condições foram espetaculares durante todo o dia. As ondas duplicavam ao atingir o reef e foram muitas delas. Realmente foi um grande dia de surf&#8221;, relata o norte-americano Rusty Long.</p>
<p>Entre as meninas, quem se deu bem foi a havaiana Keala Kennely. &#8220;Dedico esta vitória a Andy Irons. Ele sempre foi como um irmão para mim&#8221;, diz a vencedora do campeonato emocionada.</p>
<p>Para vencer, a final ela derrubou a argentina Mercedes Maidana e a norte-americana Savannah Shaughnessy.</p>
<p>Além delas, participaram da prova a brasileira Maya Gabeira e as norte-americanas Sarah Gerhardt e Jamila Starr.</p>
<p>Veja o resultado final do Nelscott Reff Big Wave Classic:</p>
<p>1 – Kohl Christensen (HAW)<br />

<h5>Atualizado em: 31 de outubro de 2010 &#8211; Sinal verde para competição no Oregon</h5>
<div id="attachment_5573" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5573" title="Bertish em Nelscott by: Richard Hallman" src="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/09-Bertish-Nelscott-by-Richard-Hallman-300x200.jpg" alt="Bertish em Nelscott by: Richard Hallman" width="300" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Bertish em Nelscott by: Richard Hallman</p></div>
<p>Foi dado o sinal verde para a terceira etapa do mundial de ondas grandes, Nelscott Reef Big Wave Classic. A direção do campeonato  confirmou o início da competição para terça-feira (2/11) na gelada bancada de Nelscott Reef, situada no estado norte-americano do Oregon (EUA).</p>
<p>As previsões indicam que se o sistema de ondulação continuar a se desenvolver como esperado, as ondas podem ultrapassar os 7 metros, com período de pico em torno de 18 segundos e ventos fracos e variados no decorrer do dia.</p>
<p>&#8220;Este swell me chamou logo a atenção, mas eu estava preocupado com o vento e uma ondulação concorrente de Sul. Contudo, parece que agora isto não será mais um problema&#8221;, afirma John Forse, fundador do evento.</p>
<div id="attachment_5574" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5574" title="Maya Gabeira" src="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/146100_622x415-300x200.jpg" alt="Maya Gabeira. Foto: Bruno Lemos / Lemosimages.com" width="300" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Maya Gabeira. Foto: Bruno Lemos / Lemosimages.com</p></div>
<p>A prova é válida como terceira etapa do Big Wave World Tour e os big riders devem enfrentar condições extremas na remada. A grande novidade do evento é que pela primeira vez um evento profissional de ondas deste nível contará com categoria Feminina. Maya Gabeira é a única brasileira que integra a lista das convidadas.</p>
<p>Alguns dos maiores big riders do mundo estão entre os convidados. Entre eles os brasileiros Carlos Burle, atual campeão do circuito, baiano Danilo Couto e o carioca Marcos Monteiro que herdou uma das vagas, já que o sul-africano Grant &#8216;Twiggy&#8217; Baker está machucado e o havaiano Shane Dorian não estará presente no evento. O evento ainda conta, com nomes de peso internacionais como Greg Long, Peter Mel, Ramon Navarro, Mark Healey, Jamie Sterling, entre outros.</p>
<p>Idealizado pelo shaper e veterano big rider Gary Linden, o Big Wave World Tour (BWWT) reúne os melhores surfistas de ondas grandes do mundo em cinco etapas até março de 2011: Chile e Peru, já realizadas; Nelscott Reef (EUA); Mavericks (EUA) e Todos os Santos (México).</p>
<p>O chileno Cristian Merello venceu a primeira etapa em Punta Lobos, Chile, enquanto o havaiano Jamie Sterling sagrou-se campeão da segunda etapa, realizada no último mês de agosto em Pico Alto, Peru.</p>
<p>O circuito conta com apoio do site Waves.Terra e da revista Fluir.</p>

<em>Grande virada: Decisão inédita faz um grupo de big riders e fotógrafos de surf &#8211; Half Moon Bay Surf Group &#8211; assumir o controle das competições em Mavericks no lugar da Mavericks Surf Ventures.</em></p>
<div id="attachment_5561" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a class="thickbox" href="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Katherine-Clark-speaks1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5561 " title="Katherine-Clark-speaks" src="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Katherine-Clark-speaks1-300x183.jpg" alt="Members of the Half Moon Bay Surf Group watch on as Katherine Clark speaks on their behalf at Wednesday’s Harbor District meeting." width="300" height="183" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Membros do Half Moon Bay Surf Group durante discurso de Katherine Clark no Harbor District meeting.</p></div>
<p>O condado de San Mateo Harbor District vai conceder a um novo grupo de surfistas e fotógrafos de surf o direito de assumir o mundialmente famoso campeonato de ondas grandes de Mavericks &#8211; o Mavericks Surf Contest. De fato, esse grupo de surfistas e fotógrafos conseguiu aprovação para assumir a gestão da famosa competição de ondas gigantes em Half Moon Bay, bahia onde rolam as ondas de Mavericks. O grande argumentando foi que que todo o campeonato e o caso precisava ser menos corporativo e mais em contato com suas raízes do surfe de ondas grandes e da própria história de Mavericks.</p>
<p>Na verdade, isso tudo começou com o lendário surfista local Jeff Clark, primeiro a surfar Mavericks, em 1975 remando para desbravar ondas gigantes que podem chegar a 50 ou 60 pés. Para muitos uma verdadeira loucura. Mas para outros é esporte. E esse esporte espetacular e extremo tem crescido pelo mundo em forma de competição, tendo cobertura de televisão, patrocinadores e hoje conta com US $ 150.000 de premiação em dinheiro. Esse crescimento que deveria ser positivo tem causado tensões entre muitos surfistas e a Mavericks Surf Ventures &#8211; empresa que realizar a competição desde 2004.</p>
<p>&#8220;Estávamos cansados de ver que essa coisa de &#8220;Super Bowl do surf&#8221; fica muito bem superficialmente, mas por baixo, nas internas, sabemos não está funcionando bem &#8220;, disse Grant Washburn, um dos melhores surfistas do mundo de ondas grandes e um dos membros do grupo que persuadiu o condado de San Mateo Harbor Distrito a conceder aos novo grupo uma autorização para realizar o próximo evento em Mavericks neste inverno. &#8220;Isso é algo que todos nós queremos nos orgulhar por participar.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mais um movimento positivo no cenário do big surf mundial que mostra do que a união dos atletas é capaz de fazer pelo esporte. Go big!</p>

<h5>Surfers take over from Mavericks Surf Ventures&#8230;</h5>
<p>A group of surfers and photographers won approval last night to take over management of Half Moon Bay’s famous big-wave competition, arguing that the event needs to be less corporate and more in touch with its maverick roots.</p>
<div id="attachment_5561" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a class="thickbox" href="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Katherine-Clark-speaks1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5561 " title="Katherine-Clark-speaks" src="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Katherine-Clark-speaks1-300x183.jpg" alt="Members of the Half Moon Bay Surf Group watch on as Katherine Clark speaks on their behalf at Wednesday’s Harbor District meeting." width="300" height="183" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Members of the Half Moon Bay Surf Group watch on as Katherine Clark speaks on their behalf at Wednesday’s Harbor District meeting.</p></div>
<p>What began in 1975 with a lone local surfer, Jeff Clark, paddling out to ride monster waves that can break as high 50 or 60 feet, has grown into a competition known around the globe, with television coverage, corporate sponsors and $150,000 in prize money. That growth has caused tensions between many surfers and Mavericks Surf Ventures, the company that has run the competition since 2004.</p>
<p>“We were tired of seeing that ‘Super Bowl of surfing thing’ where it looks good on the surface, but underneath, you know it’s not working well,” said Grant Washburn, one of the world’s top big-wave surfers and a member of the group that persuaded the San Mateo County Harbor District to award it a permit to run the event this winter. “This is something we all want to be proud of.”</p>
<p>Under Harbor District rules, only one organization can hold the permit needed to host the annual Mavericks event, which takes place about half a mile offshore of Pillar Point Harbor and uses harbor facilities as a staging and viewing area. Last night, the Harbor District commissioners voted to award this winter’s permit to the new Hay Moon Bay Surf Group that includes Washburn and fellow big-name surfer Peter Mel; Clark’s ex-wife, Katherine; surf event organizer Darren Brilhart; and several surf photographers.</p>
<p>Harbor District General Manager Peter Grenell said safety was a primary issue for the commissioners. Last February, 13 spectators were swept into the ocean by two enormous waves that surged over the seawall where they were standing. No one was killed but several suffered broken bones. Critics said the bystanders should not have been so close to the action.</p>
<p>“[Half Moon Bay Surf Group] responded satisfactorally to all the concerns we had,” Grenell said, adding that the group’s finances appeared in order and it presented a sound organizational plan.</p>
<p>Speaking for the group at last night’s meeting, Katherine Clark, one of the original organizers, pledged that “I feel confident we can … put on the best event we’ve seen yet at Mavericks.” The new group now has to hustle to arrange an opening ceremony in coming weeks and be prepared to run the event as soon as Dec. 1. When the Mavericks competition occurs depends on when the waves are best  – sometimes as early as December or as late as the end of February.</p>
<p>Keir Beadling, the chief executive officer of Maverick Surf Ventures, tried unsuccessfully to get the Harbor commissioners to delay a decision until November, to give him time to find common ground with the surfers’ group and possibly allow them to co-manage the event. Commissioners said they had granted such a delay in September and there were no signs of compromise. Before last night’s vote, Beadling said he might explore a lawsuit, citing trademark infringement and “wrongful conduct.”</p>
<p>Barracuda Networks, which previously financed the Mavericks Surf Ventures event, has pledged to work with the new management team and for the next three years fund what will now be called the Jay at Mavericks Big Wave Invitational.</p>

<h5>Nelscott Reef wait period begins</h5>
<p>Nelscott Reef promoters revealed the new web page for the 2010 Nelscott Reef Big Wave  Classic, confirming that this year’s event will indeed be a paddle in only event.  The web page launch also coincides with the opening of the 3 month holding period.</p>
<p>As previously announced, the Nelscott Reef contest changed from a tow in event to a paddle in event.  This change was brought on from pressure from the competitors after the previous years contests gave them a taste of paddling in to some Nelscott bombs. “The guys would rather paddle than tow, and they proved it can be done”, said event founder, John Forse.</p>
<p>The 2010 Nelscott Reef Big Wave Classic is also participating as a stop on Gary Linden’s Big Wave World Tour.  The tour includes four  other events in Chile, Peru, Mexico, and California.  2010 will be the second season for the tour, which will grow from 4 events to 5,  including Nelscott Reef.</p>
<p>The Nelscott Reef Big Wave Classic continues to attract the top names in big wave surfing from around the world.  Changing from a<br />
tow in event to a paddle in event offers organizers some new talent for this year.  Along with Nelscott veterans, there are a lot of surfers competing at Nelscott for the first time.  </p>
<p>“I have a lot of respect for some of the older guys we invited that have chosen to step aside and let some of the up and coming talent take a turn”, said John Forse.  “People like Gary Linden and Ross Clarke Jones have given up their spots for younger surfers to have a chance.  It is the ultimate show of sportsmanship in my opinion”.</p>
<p>The Nelscott Reef Big Wave Classic will continue to operate on a traffic light system during the holding period.  Red represents no<br />
favorable conditions in the near future.  Organizers will change to yellow status if they spot a forecast for favorable conditions.  If the event is called, the status will change to green and competitors will have 48 hours to make it to Lincoln City, OR.</p>
<p>This system has worked well in the past, as the event has been held on what turned out to be the best days of each of the past five years.</p>
<p>The Nelscott Reef web page contains the most up to date information on the event.  People can sign up for email alerts as well.<br />
The Nelscott Reef Big Wave Classic is honored and proud be a part of the Big Wave World Tour and promote big wave surfing<br />
internationally. For more info go to and nelscottreef.com and bigwaveworldtour.com.</p>

<p>A segunda etapa do circuito mundial de ondas grandes 2010, o BWWT, aconteceu nas direitas de Pico Alto, em Punta Hermosa, no Peru. O evento Billabong Pico Alto Invitacional 2010 foi realizado na quinta-feira (19/08) com ondas de até 25 pés e ótimas condições para o surfe de ondas grandes.</p>
<p>Os brasileiros Carlos Burle (atual campeão mundial) e Marcos Monteiro passaram por duas baterias classificatórias na segunda colocação, chegaram à grande final em Pico Alto e ficaram em terceiro e quarto lugares respectivamente. Burle quase repetiu a atuação da edição de 2009 do evento, quando ficou em segundo lugar.</p>

<p>Durante a final, que também contou com a presença dos californianos Greg Long e Anthony Tashnick, além do havaiano Jamie Sterling e do sul africano Grant “Twiggy” Baker, Burle e Marquinhos saíram na frente com notas 6,50 e 6, respectivamente.</p>
<p>Na sequência da bateria final, o havaiano Sterling assumiu a ponta com ondas 8.50 e 7.17. Tashnick ficou em segundo, Burle em terceiro, Marquinhos em quarto, Long em quinto e Twiggy em sexto, colocações que permaneceram até o término do confronto em função das séries escassas no fim de tarde em Pico Alto.</p>

<p>The Billabong Pico Alto Invitational 2010 presented by Sony, went off in fantastic, huge surf.</p>
<p>The atmosphere surrounding the competitors was filled with energy and adrenaline. The grandstand full of spectators was shocked by the size of the waves. The generous force of nature gave us waves of more than 35 feet high, peaking during the semi final heats where the wave of the contest, a perfect 10 by Grant Baker from South Africa, was scored.</p>
<p>The local surfers demonstrated a high level of performance as well.</p>

<p>Gonzalo Velasco, Billabong team rider and Sebastian De Romaña arrived to the semi finals competing along side twelve of best international big wave riders, including current world champion Carlos Burle from Brazil and defending Billabong Pico Alto 2009, winner Greg Long from the USA.</p>
<p>Various surfers experienced extreme moments, the Peruvian Rafael Velarde lived through the intensity of Pico Alto in his first heat, when a wave of 24 feet high broke the board that he ridden to two previous Billabong Pico Alto finals (2006 and 2009).</p>

<p>The eventual winner, Hawaiian Jamie Sterling and South African Chris Bertish, both endured two wave hold-downs, Bertish coughing up blood and unable to finish the heat.</p>
<p>Water Patrol provided by Ocean Riders, the local Peruvian team and Tim West from the Big Wave World Tour, insured not only the surfers security in these huge waves but also provided them transport from the beach to the line up with the use of PWC´s.</p>

<p>The grand final was highly contested between Anthony Tashnick (USA), Carlos Burle (BRA) and Jamie Sterling (HI) with Jamie taking the title. “I’m very emotional since this is the first time I have won a Big Wave World Tour event” expressed the smiling Hawaiian.</p>
<p>OUTSTANDING PERFORMERS: Twiggy nailed a perfect ten in the semifinals but couldn&#8217;t find a backup score; Burle and Tashnick charged all event, but couldn&#8217;t overtake Sterling, who tackled the giant walls on his backhand.</p>

<h5>Billabong Pico Alto Invitational Green Light confirmed by official forecast</h5>
<p>Official Forecast for the Billabong Pico Alto Invitacional on the 2010/2011 Big Wave World Tour.<br />
FORECAST UPDATE SUNDAY, AUGUST 15TH &#8211; by Surfline.com</p>
<p>Storm and swell is confirmed. See below Jason satellite pass last night with 33 foot seas &#8211; also not even in the peak of the storm which is probably closer to 40 feet. Also looks very good on the satellite loops. At this point, looks like a very, very good swell confirmed for the Pico Alto event for Thursday, August 19th. Winds on Thursday still expected to be light and variable from the south, not ideal, but not strong enough to really hurt the conditions either. Hopefully winds will improve and will be lighter.</p>

<p>This year we will have the best 12 big wave surfers of the world, which will face to the immense wave of Pico Alto and 12 experienced local big wave surfers. Prominent figures like Carlos Burle (Bra) – World Champion 2009 of the BWWT-, Greg Long (USA) &#8211; winner of the Billabong Pico Alto 2009-, Grant “Twiggy” Baker (Saf) &#8211; winner of the Billabong XXL 2010-, Mark Healy (Haw) – hawaiian hellman-, between others, will come to Peru to offer a great show.</p>
<p>These athletes will compete for a total prize of US$ 10,000 dollars in cash.</p>
<p>Former champions of this Pico Alto event are;<br />
Magoo De La Rosa Toro (PER) 2004<br />
Jose &#8220;Jarita&#8221; Gómez (PER) 2003 and 2006,<br />
Greg Long (U.S.A) 2009.</p>

<p>O local Cristian Merello surpreendeu a todos e foi o grande campeão do Quiksilver Cerimonial Punta de Lobos com uma excelente atuação em ondas de mais de 30 pés. O evento foi o primeiro da segunda edição do Big Wave World Tour 2010-2011. Esse evento abriu muito bem a temporada.</p>
<p>Merello usou seu conhecimento local e muita disposição para pegar as maiores ondas do dia. Tanta determinação, colocou Cristian na final e eliminou nomes como Twiggy e Carlos Burle.</p>
<blockquote><p>Quando percebi, tinha ganhado! Foi muito especial&#8230; Dedico a vitória a minha mãe que vive uma intensa batalha contra o câncer. Essa foi pra ela e para toda comunidade. Cristian Merell</p></blockquote>
<p>Em nome da comunidade local, Ramon Navarro, o big rider mais famoso do Chile, disse que todos estavam muito felizes com o evento.</p>
<blockquote><p>Punta de Lobos estava linda! As ondas estavam perfeitas e quebraram com força durante todo o dia. Foi um dia muito especial para todos em Pichilemu. Ramon Navaro</p></blockquote>

<p>Everaldo Pato e Danilo Couto também pegaram boas ondas mas não foi suficiente. Eles ficaram, respectivamente, em quinto e sexto lugar em suas baterias iniciais e não avançaram.</p>

<p>Foi realmente  um dia muito especial que marcou a abretura do Big Wave World Tour 2010 / 2011. Boas ondas, tempo bom e os melhores big riders reunidos em um campeonato de alto nível de surfe.</p>
<p>Em um gesto de solidariedade, metade da premiação de U$15.000 foi doada pelos surfistas para a comunidade local de pescadores, que perderam condições de trabalho após a devastação de uma Tsunami que atingiu a região.</p>

<p>Much to everyone&#8217;s surprise, the morning of the Quiksilver Ceremonial big-wave contest started off a little slow. Expectations were that yesterday we&#8217;d awake up to the thunderous sound of 15-foot sets marching across the reef of Punta Lobos. Instead, it was 8 to 10 feet, clean and glassy. Definitely not the ideal situation for a big-wave event. I guess forecasting isn&#8217;t perfect after all.</p>
<p>Then again, by the time the finals rolled around, the sets were peaking in the 18-to-20-foot range and it was considerably more serious. And with an all-star cast in said final that included Santa Cruz&#8217;s Peter Mel, Hawaii&#8217;s Mark Healey and Jamie Sterling, and of course, Greg Long, it was most definitely on. But even with big-waves heavies crowding the sizable lineup, it was Chilean charger Cristian Merello that managed walked away with the top honors. Displaying local knowledge, a committed approach, and a sheer will to win, 27-year-old Merello conquered the heavy lefts with a level of comfort and confidence well beyond his years.</p>
<div id="attachment_4537" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 250px"><a class="thickbox" href="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/as_surf_c_merello_800.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4537 " title="as_surf_c_merello_800" src="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/as_surf_c_merello_800-300x168.jpg" alt="Cristian Merello Photo: Jason Murray" width="240" height="134" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cristian Merello Photo: Jason Murray</p></div>
<p>Merello was elated with his accomplishment on a number of levels. &#8220;Winning this event was really special for me and it wasn&#8217;t just for me, it was for my mother, who is battling cancer and for the community of Pichilemu,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;My strategy was to sit as deep as possible and wait for the biggest waves. I felt so comfortable out there and I&#8217;ve surfed that board so many times at this spot that I knew what to do and did my best. Now, I&#8217;m hoping to get an invitation to the contest in Peru so I can keep going&#8221;.</p>
<p>Up until now, most of the surf world had never heard of Merello, but true to underground form, he has been charging the points of Chile for years. He&#8217;s gained invaluable experience as Ramon Navarro&#8217;s tow partner, and has now made amends for an early exit in last year&#8217;s semifinal that saw him suffer a knee injury and a subsequent three months of rehab.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m stoked that Cristian won because his mom needed it and it&#8217;s good for his career,&#8221; told the ever-humble Navarro, the godfather of Chilean big-wave surfing. &#8220;It was a close call between Gabriel and him, but most importantly, it&#8217;s just amazing seeing the Latin American guys compete with the best big-wave surfers in the world.&#8221;</p>
<div id="attachment_4538" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 250px"><a class="thickbox" href="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/as_surf_diego_medina_800.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4538 " title="as_surf_diego_medina_800" src="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/as_surf_diego_medina_800-300x168.jpg" alt="Diego Medina Photo: Jason Murray" width="240" height="134" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Diego Medina Photo: Jason Murray</p></div>
<p>Diego Medina, of Horcon, Chile, won the biggest drop of the day and the Waterman Award in Memory of Noel Robinson, which was voted on by fellow competitors. His wave was hands down the biggest wave of the day.</p>
<p>The community of Pichelemu and the other coastal cities of this region have had a rough go the past four months. This event, although brief, provided a well-deserved break and distraction from picking up the pieces of life after the earthquake and tsunami. It has been a long road to recovery, and they still have a long way to go, but optimism is in the air and the excitement of a hometown boy winning definitely added to the positive atmosphere. It&#8217;s good to see the local boys doing well and the crowd getting behind them. And to add to the aloha just a little bit more, all of the finalists agreed to donate half of their prize money to aid in earthquake relief.</p>
<div id="attachment_4539" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 250px"><a class="thickbox" href="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/as_surf_crowd_800.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4539 " title="as_surf_crowd_800" src="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/as_surf_crowd_800-300x168.jpg" alt="Punta Lobos Cerimonial 2010 Photo: Jason Murray" width="240" height="134" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Punta Lobos Cerimonial 2010 Photo: Jason Murray</p></div>
<p>&#8220;It was a fantastic start to the new season,&#8221; said Big Wave World Tour director Gary Linden, who was more than pleased with the day&#8217;s events. &#8220;To bring a world-class event to a rebounding community with the surfers donating half of their prize money to the benefit of the local fisherman was a gesture in the spirit of the passion that is driving this tour. We do it because we love it and we want to share that feeling with the rest of the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>With the first event of the 2010 Big Wave World Tour all wrapped up, the pisco flowing like water, and the basado providing a top-notch dinner, the day came to a perfect end. While some rocked out to a Doors cover band late into the night, a few of the competitors quickly re-packed their guns and headed up to Puerto to chase the swell. Surely, it&#8217;s going to be bombing up there this weekend &#8212; the biggest swell of the summer thus far, and with a good warm up under their belts here in Chile, the crew is ready for some giant beach break barrels.</p>

<h5>Brasileiro conquista o título do primeiro circuito mundial de ondas grandes na remada</h5>
<p><em>Fim de semana inesquecível para o surfe de ondas grandes. Na sexta-feira, rolou a festa de premiação do XXL que celebrou os destaques de uma das melhores temporadas em anos.  No sábado, Carlos Burle foi coroado o primeiro campeão mundial de ondas grandes em uma festa histórica que celebrou o encerramento do primeiro circuito mundial de ondas grandes de todos os tempos.</em></p>
<div id="attachment_4138" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a class="thickbox" href="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/BWWT-AWARD-CEREMONY-213-BY-VITTORIO-SOMMELLAok.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4138 " title="BWWT-AWARD-CEREMONY-213-BY-VITTORIO-SOMMELLAok" src="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/BWWT-AWARD-CEREMONY-213-BY-VITTORIO-SOMMELLAok-300x199.jpg" alt="Burle and the World Champions By: Vittorio  Sommella" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Burle em gesto nobre divide a vitória com todos os big riders By: Vittorio Sommella</p></div>
<p>No início, tudo era simplesmente por um desafio. Foi um longo caminho na busca por ondas gigantes e por uma profissionalização do esporte. Mas, agora, há um legítimo Circuito Mundial de Ondas Grandes, o BWWT (Big Wave World Tour), que acaba de escolher o brasileiro Carlos Burle como seu primeiro campeão.</p>
<p>&#8220;Esse prêmio não pertence a mim. Ele pertence a todos vocês. Pertence ao esporte. Estamos fazendo história. Todos venham até aqui erguer este troféu comigo&#8230;&#8221;, disse Burle para os melhores big riders do mundo e a multidão de jornalistas e convidados na Surfing Heritage Foundation, em San Clemente, Califórnia.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="300" height="243" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kdTmArpfl-4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="243" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kdTmArpfl-4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><p class="wp-caption-text">Burle speech</p></div>
<p>Os top big riders subiram um a um e o palco ficou cheio de gente como Peter Mel, Mark Healey, Greg Long, Rusty, Ramon Navarro, Twiggy Baker e outros bravos watermen. E, pela primeira vez na história, esse gesto nobre do campeão fez o sentimento de conquista repercutir na comunidade inteira de ondas grandes.</p>
<p>Burle, muito emocionado, demonstrou humildade e o verdadeiro espírito de campeão. O brasileiro ainda apontou todos os big riders como sua grande fonte de inspiração para a conquista do recém-inaugurado &#8220;Big Wave Worl Tour&#8221;.</p>
<div id="attachment_4143" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a class="thickbox" href="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_2860.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4143" title="IMG_2860" src="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_2860-300x225.jpg" alt="Photo: Mike Cianciulli" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Photo: Mike Cianciulli</p></div>
<p>&#8220;Estou muito feliz por estar aqui e poder remar com vocês extendendo os limites. O que fazemos lá fora não é fácil. É a coisa mais estressante do mundo. Nós nunca sabemos quando nem onde as ondas vão quebrar e as coisas vão acontecer. Não há agenda para nós. Temos de voar de última hora e, geralmente, overnight. E ainda temos que lidar com essas ondas gigantes. Estamos entre os seres humanos mais preparados do mundo&#8230;&#8221;, disse Burle em seu discurso de premiação.</p>
<p>Antes de viajar para a premiação, Burle disse para a equipe do CarlosBurle.com que poderia ser o campeão de acordo com as contas dele. Burle disse também que estava muito empolgado com a criação do circuito mundial de ondas grandes, que significava muito para o esporte do big surf. E ainda, se ele fosse realmente reconhecido como campeão, esse seria um momento único na carreira dele que ficaria marcado para sempre.</p>

<p>&#8220;Antes havia o XXL que, embora seja uma festa importantíssima para o esporte de ondas grandes como um todo, não representa um verdadeiro ranking dos melhores do mundo. Agora, com a criação do BWWT, teremos um ranking oficial baseado em uma série de eventos, que terão critérios de regularidade e pontuação bem claros e definidos dentro do circuito mundial, com etapas distribuídas ao longo da temporada por diferentes países do mundo. Isso aconteceu também no início da ASP (Association of Surfing Professionals) que evoluiu muito e, hoje em dia, tem um nível profissional excelente&#8221;, disse Burle. &#8220;Com certeza, o BWWT trará bons frutos para o esporte e estímulo para a nova geração&#8221;, completou o campeão.</p>
<p>Ironicamente, na última vez, quando um &#8220;campeonato mundial de ondas grandes&#8221; foi realizado, Burle ganhou. Em 1998, o ISA Big Wave Challenge, em Todos Santos, criou um estímulo que durou de mais de 12 anos. E, agora, depois de todos esses anos e quatro eventos, Big Wave World Tour (BWWT) terminou sua temporada inaugural. E a antiga esperança de sucesso do circuito mundial de ondas grandes finalmente se tornou realidade.</p>
<p>&#8220;Em 1998, as fotos do evento ISA Todos foram uma inspiração enorme para mim, quando eu estava começando. Estávamos dedicados a fazer acontecer,&#8221; disse Greg Long, big rider e um dos articuladores do circuito. &#8220;Big Wave World Tour sempre foi um sonho. A popularidade do surfe de ondas grandes vem crescendo, então, por que não fazer algo acontecer? A idéia foi criar um circuito sólido, com regras e critérios definidos, e crescer com o tempo. &#8221;</p>
<div id="attachment_4144" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a class="thickbox" href="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/burle_maya.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4144" title="burle_maya" src="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/burle_maya-300x188.jpg" alt="Brasil no topo do Big Surf: Burle com troféu de campeão mundial e Maya campeã do XXL Photo: Midia Bacana" width="300" height="188" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Brasil no topo do Big Surf: Burle com troféu de campeão mundial e Maya campeã do XXL Photo: Midia Bacana</p></div>
<p>No circuito mundial, cada evento recebe seus pontos baseados no tamanho das ondas. Esse sistema foi pensado para premiar o surfista que pegou as maiores.</p>
<p>Apenas os atletas que chegaram às finais pontuaram, e Burle participou de todas. Juntando os resultados de Quiksilver Cermonial Puta de Lobos, (Chile), Billabong Pico Alto Invitational (Peru), Maverick&#8217;s Surf Contest (Califórnia) e Todos os Santos Big Wave (México), Burle, com 42 anos, foi merecidamente nomeado Campeão do Mundo Big Wave 2009/2010. O campeão somou 2.444 pontos, contra 1.690 de Mark Healey (HAW), 1.400 de Chris Bertish (AFR) e 1.368 de Grant Baker (AFR).</p>
<p>Greg Long, apesar de ganhar o Quiksilver em Memória de Eddie Aikau, em Waimea Bay, terminou em sétimo. O Eddie é considerado um evento especial, mas está separado do BWWT. Mas, mesmo se os resultados do Eddie fossem contabilizados, Burle ainda seria o top do ranking.</p>
<p>O BWWT pretende adicionar mais um evento para a quinta temporada de 2010/2011, como o renovado &#8220;Nelscott Reef&#8221; que deixou de ser town in e mudou para big surfe na remada. O BWWT também espera mais patrocínios e, mais especificamente para o evento em Todos, que foi financiado por Greg Long e Gary Linden e não ofereceu prêmio em dinheiro aos vencedores.</p>
<div id="attachment_4147" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a class="thickbox" href="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/BWAC_CedricOrdioni_19.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4147" title="BWAC_CedricOrdioni_19" src="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/BWAC_CedricOrdioni_19-300x225.jpg" alt="Os top mundiais: Peter Mel, Mark Healey, Shane Desmond, Carlos Burle, Chris Bertish, Grant &quot;Twiggy&quot; Baker and Ramon Navarro.

Photo: Cedric Ordioni</p></div>
<p>&#8220;Quanto mais precisávamos do dinheiro, maior era a paixão e o amor pelo esporte&#8221;, lembrou Linden. &#8220;Todo mundo trabalhou de graça. É uma das coisas grandiosas que vivi na minha história do surf. Todo mundo estava lá porque queria. Foi uma vitória do esporte.&#8221;</p>
<p>E, ao párar para pensar qual é o combustível que move essa verdadeira fraternidade de ondas grandes, fica evidente que é a paixão pelo surfe e a coragem dos atletas. Com campeonato ou sem campeonato, prêmio em dinheiro ou uma simples garrafa de champanhe, esses caras estão sempre na busca por ondas cada vez maiores, voando a qualquer minuto para os quatro cantos do mundo e para os lugares mais inóspitos.</p>
<p>Todos merecem parabéns por toda paixão e toda coragem que fazem o progresso do esporte e do surfe de ondas grandes, que vão muito além do imaginável.</p>
<p>Parabéns, Carlos Burle! Você é um verdadeiro campeão mundial de ondas grandes. E parabéns a todos os big riders do mundo por essa conquista do esporte.</p>

<h5>CARLOS BURLE NAMED BIG WAVE WORLD CHAMPION</h5>
<div id="attachment_4143" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_2860.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4143" title="IMG_2860" src="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_2860-300x225.jpg" alt="Photo: Mike Cianciulli" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The champion Photo: Mike Cianciulli</p></div>
<p>In the beginning, it was simply for the challenge. Soon, the stakes were raised and the hunt focused on XXL checks. And now, heavywater surfers have a legitimate World Tour, which just named its first-ever Big Wave World Champion &#8211; Brazilian Carlos Burle. &#8220;What I did tonight doesn&#8217;t belong to me. It belongs to all of you. It belongs to our sport,&#8221; Burle said to an invite-only crowd of the world&#8217;s top chargers gathered at the Surfing Heritage Foundation. &#8220;All of you guys come up here and hold this trophy with me.&#8221;</p>
<div id="attachment_4138" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a class="thickbox" href="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/BWWT-AWARD-CEREMONY-213-BY-VITTORIO-SOMMELLAok.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4138 " title="BWWT-AWARD-CEREMONY-213-BY-VITTORIO-SOMMELLAok" src="http://carlosburle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/BWWT-AWARD-CEREMONY-213-BY-VITTORIO-SOMMELLAok-300x199.jpg" alt="Burle and the World Champions By: Vittorio  Sommella" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Burle sharing the victory with the big riders By: Vittorio Sommella</p></div><br />
One by one, the stage filled with the likes of Peter Mel, Mark Healey, Greg and Rusty Long, Ramon Navarro, Twiggy Baker and other courageous watermen. And for the first time in history, a sense of achievement resonated within the entire big wave community. Burle, obviously humbled to be the premiere champion of the newly founded tour, credited the brotherhood as his fountain of inspiration.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so happy to be here &#8212; at the age of 42 &#8212; to paddle around with you guys and push the limits,&#8221; Burle remarked in his acceptance speech. &#8220;What we do out there is not easy. What we do is the biggest and most stressful thing in the world. We never know when it&#8217;s going to happen. There is no agenda for us. We have to fly last minute, usually overnight. And we have to deal with those monster waves. We are the most prepared human beings in the world.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="300" height="243" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kdTmArpfl-4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="243" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kdTmArpfl-4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><p class="wp-caption-text">Burle speech</p></div>
<p>Ironically, the last time a &#8220;big wave world championship&#8221; was held, Burle won. The 1998 ISA Big Wave Challenge at Todos Santos has provided a lasting stimulus for over 12 years. And now, after the four-event Big Wave World Tour (BWWT) completed its inaugural season, the hopes for a successful world circuit for heavywater surfing became a reality.</p>
<p>&#8220;The 1998 ISA event at Todos &#8211; those photos were a huge inspiration to me when I was coming up. We were dedicated to make it happen,&#8221; tour proponent Greg Long explained. &#8220;The Big Wave World Tour has been a dream of [tour organizer] Gary Linden&#8217;s for a long time. As big wave surfing has increased in popularity, why couldn&#8217;t everyone get on the same page and make something happen? You have to start somewhere. The idea was to create a tangible tour and grow it.&#8221;</p>
<p>By pooling the results from the Quiksilver Cermonial Puta de Lobos in Chile, the Billabong Pico Alto Invitational in Peru, the Maverick&#8217;s Surf Contest in California, and Todos Santos Big Wave Event in Mexico, Burle &#8212; a finalist in every event &#8212; was named the 2009/2010 Big Wave World Champion. Long, despite winning the Quiksilver In Memory of Eddie Aikau at Waimea Bay, finished seventh. (The Eddie is considered a specialty event separate from the BWWT. However, even if those results factored in, Burle would still be a top the rankings.)<br />
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="300" height="182" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/H6f2cKTYubg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="182" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/H6f2cKTYubg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><p class="wp-caption-text">Carlos Burle's season 2009-2010</p></div></p>
<p>The BBWT looks to add a fifth event for the 2010/2011 season by encompassing the revamped Nelscott Reef contest, which has shifted its scope from tow-in to paddle surfing. The tour also hopes to grow with sponsorship opportunities, specifically the Todos event which was personally funded by Long and Linden and offered no prize money.</p>
<p>&#8220;As much as we needed the money, it was the passion and spirit that made it happen,&#8221; Linden remembered. &#8220;Everybody worked for nothing. It&#8217;s one of the greatest things I got to experience in my surfing history. Everyone was there because they wanted to be. That wrapped the tour up nicely.&#8221;</p>
<p>And if you hang around the big wave brethren long enough, it&#8217;s clear their passion stems purely from love and bravery. Tour or no tour, prize money or a bottle of Patron, this crew will always be watching the LOLA charts and hopping red eye flights to the far corners of the globe to progress the sport of big wave surfing beyond what&#8217;s imaginable.</p>
<p>And as Long summed up on behalf of every big wave surfer in the room, &#8220;Regardless of prize money, we&#8217;d be doing this anyway.&#8221;</p>
