Heat Draw Stacked and Ready to Go for World’s Most Anticipated Bodyboard Event – Wild Wild Wave El Fronton Invitational.

Saturday December 11 20010 Gran Canary Island: On this bright sunny morning on the northern coast of Gran Canaria, names of the competitors were drawn from three separate swimfins.

One fin held the names of seven former world champions plus current world champ, Amaury Laverne (REU).

In another, four talented international riders’ names rest inside the foot pocket and in the third swimfin, the names of the four invited locals who will represent the Canary Islands.

Every four names called set the stage for essentially a super quarterfinal heat. Each of the 4-quarter final heats will see two world champs, one international rider and one local representative competitor. One by one, names were plucked out the fins and called out by event host and commentator, Manny Vargas. The names cut through the crisp morning air and echoed off the stone walls…

Heat 1

Red Damien King (AUS)

White Uri Valado (BRZ)

Yellow Pierre Louis Costes (FRN)

Blue Alejandro Reyes (CNR)

Heat 2

Red Jeff Hubbard (HAW)

White Mike Stewart (HAW)

Yellow Jared Houston (SAF)

Blue Diego Cabrera (CNR)

Heat 3

Yellow Ryan Hardy (AUS)

Blue Genesis Reyes (CNR)

Heat 4

Red Ben Player (AUS)

White Andre Botha (SAF)

Yellow Dave Winchester (AUS)

Blue Yeray Martinez (CNR)

According to Australian legend, Ryan Hardy (AUS), “this is one of the most anticipated events of all time. It’s similar to the Tahiti Skins event in 2000 – It’s going to be a spectacle.”

Now that the stage is set, it’s only matter of time before one of the greatest bodyboarding events goes down as organizers await a serious swell.

Competitors continue to stay focused and stay fit and contest organizers are watching the swell maps and wind charts to ensure the optimum conditions for the greatest one-day event of the year… The Wild Wild Wave El Fronton Invitational.
