Billabong XXL Awards Nominierungen

"alea iacta est", wie der Lateiner sagt! die Nominierungen stehen fest und somit sind es eigentlich mehrere Wuerfel - und nicht nur einer - , die gefallen sind, aber seis drum...

Fakt ist, dass am 13. April in Anaheim, Kalifornien die Surfer geehrt werden, die in den letzten knapp 12 monaten rund um den Globus die groessten Wellen gesurft sind. Da man sich das geschehen aber besser anschaut als es zu lesen, gibts auf www.billabongxxl.com einen blick auf die Videos und Fotos der Nominierten zu sehen.
Trotz zahlreicher Einsendungen hat es nur Axier Muniain als einziger Europäer geschafft nominiert zu werden.
