Quiksilver Big Wave Surf Competition and more

Earlier this year, we were lucky enough to be posted up in some nice cabin’s high on the hill overlooking some great left hand points breaks in Chile when the Quiksilver Big Wave Surf Competition rolled into town. Here’s a bit of official Quicksilver blog stuff about it:

“These are the most perfect conditions you can expect in Punta de Lobos,” said local resident, big wave expert and invitee to the event, Ramon Navarro. “We are expecting swell and winds from the perfect direction and waves of more than 25 feet.

“The surfers and media in Chile are going crazy. I think it will be one of the most impactful events in the history of surfing here, having some of the biggest waves ever for a paddle-in surfing event in Chile.”

Well as i had a bit of time to spare between waves i put together this video of the contest and a few days around it at Punta de Lobos. Hope you enjoy it:
