The South Bay Boardriders Club Big Wave contest period closed on March 31 with no big swells to match those of the 2009-2010 winter. But 2010-2011 will be remembered for consistent surf, including a few swells in February and March that had local surfers waxing up their California guns.
The contest area extended from Indicator in Palos Verdes on the South to El Segundo on the north. The biggest waves photographed were at the Redondo Breakwall and the El Segundo jetty.
Photo submissions to the contest were narrowed down to half a dozen finalists – four taken at the Redondo Breakwall and two at Hammerland. The contest judges are Mike Balzer, Scott Daley, Ted Robinson, Chris Frohoff, Michael Luhrson, Mark Levy, Scott Johnson, Mark Theodore, Pat Riordan, Charlie Carver, Tom Seth and Tyler Hatzikian.
Their choice for the 2010-2011 South Bay Big Wave winner will be announced during the Hermosa Surf Film Festival on Friday, April 8 at the Hermosa Beach Community Center. (See page 16 for more details). The winner will receive a 10-foot gun shaped by Pat Riordan, glassed by Steve Mangiagli and airbrushed by Jose Barahona. The winner will also receive $1,000 from Body Glove. ER
