    Oxbow Punta Galea Big Challenge
    presented by Cool Shoes

    Pospuesto el campeonato de La Galea

     

     

    La primera convocatoria para el Oxbow Punta Galea Big Challenge se quedó sin efecto tras el checking del domingo 2 de Diciembre.

    Las previsiones que habían anunciado la llegada de una potente marejada para el domingo 5 de Diciembre no fallaron y las condiciones en el Abra eran de olas de cinco metros y viento en contra, por lo que la Organización decidió citar a competidores, staff técnico y público a primera hora de la mañana.

    Tras analizar la situación, y ver que las mar venía limpia pero muy cruzada, y que el fuerte viento sur iba a dificultar que los surfers invitados al evento pudieran coger las olas, se decidió posponer el campeonato para una nueva cita.

    El período de espera contemplazo es de seis meses, comenzando el 1 de octubre de 2007 y disponiendo de plazo hasta el 1 de abril de 2008. En este tiempo se aguardará a que se presenten las condiciones meteorológicas idóneas para poder llevar a cabo este espectacular campeonato en el que los bigriders se lanzan a surfear las olas de Punta Galea y optan a una atractiva recompensa económica con 8.000 euros en premios.

    Durante 4 horas deberán surfear olas de mas de 4 metros, que sus propios compañeros juzgarán en diferentes categorías. Ya que se premiará la ola mas grande, el surfista mas completo, la bajada mas radical y el mayor wipeout (tortazo).
