BILLABONG ANTE UP + TOFINO SURF
All be it we’ve been home now for more than a week it seems that only now am I getting my feet back under me… First off was arriving in Whistler on June 27th for the The 5* TTR $50k big air contest. Situated at the top of Whistler Village Gondola on July 1st CANADA DAY in front of both a large onsite crowd and webcast audience the BAU awarded Eric Willet with the win, Seb Toutant 2nd and Dash Kamp in 3rd – stand out riding by Zach Stone as he broke him binding on impact after landing what was easily one of the largest back-double-corks! While supporting the Billabong Canada team (Risto, Nate and Ashley) with the onsite event logistics and operations we managed to celebrate a highly succesful event and one to grow from for future years!
Here’s the highlight reel from TTR of the winning tricks.
A special thanks to Risto @Billabong Canada who extended the invite to join his team in Tofino for three days to surf and digest the event in its entirety. We managed to get in the water three-times a day, 6 am swells with no wind and late night paddles post 10pm – damn beach breaks are exhausting when they are at five-second intervals..looking forward to the next experience and a sincere thanks again for the invite. Here’s a shot (SBCSURF.com) of Billabong & VZ surfer Sepp Bruhwiler who was kind enought to lend us some gear to get wet. Hope to see you again soon with some new opportunities!
