Die World Surf League hat die Nominierungen für die Red Bull Big Wave Awards 2020 (BWA) bekannt gegeben. Die diesjährigen Big Wave Awards feiern ihr 20-jähriges Bestehen und werden die besten Big Wave-Surfer der letzten 12 Monate auszeichnen.
In den nächsten Wochen wird die BWA 2020 Auszeichnungen für Männer und Frauen in je vier Hauptkategorien vergeben: Ride of the Year, cbdMD XXL Biggest Wave, Paddle Award, und Overall Performer of the Year. On top gibt es, wie immer, den Wipeout of the Year, der dieses Jahr bereits von Euch bestimmt wurde: in einem offenes Fan-Voting machte der Sturz von Keala Kennelly (Jaws) das extrem schmerzhafte Rennen.
Hier der Programmplan für die Awards:
3. August: Bekanntgabe der Biggest Paddle Award Gewinner auf World Surf Weekly at 3:00 p.m. PDT
10. August: Bekanntgabe der Overall Performer of the Year Gewinner auf World Surf Weekly at 3:00 p.m. PDT
17. August: Bekanntgabe der cbdMD XXL Biggest Wave Award Gewinner auf World Surf Weekly at 3:00 p.m. PDT
24. August: Bekanntgabe der Ride of the Year Winners Announced auf World Surf Weekly at 3:00 p.m. PDT
Spannend wird es bei den Damen, denn Justine Dupont (FRA) und Maya Gabeira (BRA) haben gute Chancen mit ihren XXL Wellen einen Eintrag bei den GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ für die größte, je von einer Frau gesurfte Welle zu bekommen.
Mit der Nominierung in der Kategorie Best Overall Performance hat Nic von Rupp (Sintra) den Sprung in die Top Ten der besten Big Wave Surfer der Welt geschafft.
Wenn es um die ganz großen Dinger geht, ist natürlich kein andere als Sebastian Steudtner (Nürnberg) am Start, er gehört hier wieder zu den fünf Nominierten.
