    Oakley/Surfing Life Big Wave Awards

    LAST ENTRIES IN FOR OAKLEY SURFING LIFE BIG WAVE AWARDS

    Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 1 February, 2008 : - - For a lot of us, it’s when the work and school reality of a new year finally sinks in. For Australia’s finest big wave riders, it’s another kind of deadline: End of the seven-month waiting period for their shot at Australia’s richest and most prestigious big wave prize.

    The Oakley Surfing Life Big Wave Awards play a unique part in Australasian hardcore surfing culture. They bust open the door to fame for the little known heroes of the sport – surfers from West Australia to New Zealand’s South Island, who live to ride surf so massive it’d make most professional riders wish they were safe at home in bed.

    Riders enter the Awards by supplying photo and video evidence of their feats. On offer for Biggest Wave Ridden is a first prize of $20,000 plus a brand new Sea-Doo personal watercraft – dream tool for any modern big wave charger. The final day was marked by a final super spectacular entry – this one from 21-year-old Tasmanian surfer Brook Phillips. Brook was filmed by local photographer Stuart Gibson on a six-metre-plus monster at Shipstern Bluff.

    “I wasn’t sure if I’d be in time,” said Brook. “I’m just stoked I got to beat the deadline and have a chance at winning.” An elite judging panel of top photographers, Surfing Life editors and veteran big wave riders will now tackle the unenviable task of choosing the winners from the dozens of entries.

    Winners will be announced at a crazy all-star awards ceremony in Sydney in two weeks’ time, on February 13. The Oakley Surfing Life Big Wave Awards presented by is an ongoing challenge to reward the riders of the biggest waves in Australasian waters. It runs from June 1, 2007 to February 1, 2008.
