"Big Monday"


The Big Wave Challenge moves onto it's third season (Winter 2010). As the first good swell continues to hit the North Coast of The DR...a monster swell is expected to hit early Monday morning.
" this will be a break through season for sure because we keep finding great Paddle Boarding Waves on the North Coast. We are in Stand Up Paddle Boarding ( SUP ) Paradise." said Holzhall.

"...I cut back 4 or 5 times at the new break 'cross-roads'...the inside reforms beautifully..." said Gannon.

Q. Does break selection matter in this competition?
A. Definitely...when a wave closes out and there is no channel...SUP becomes really difficult, but a big wave that holds up and eventually dumps into a channel makes for SUP paradise.
