Mo swell

2010 has brought excellent surf! Swell from the storm that just paralized the US east coast will hit the DR tonight, so the Big Wave Competition is on this Weekend. There is also a paddle board race at 11.am Saturday. Vegas odds put Gordon Gannon slightly ahead of John Holzhall. "...just tell me when and where, i'll be there" Says Gannon. "...it's gonna be tough because we will be surfing massive swell at sunrise and then racing at 11am...don't be suprised if someone fresh takes it" says Holzhall.

New Spot
Holzhall has been working some new spots. Here is a quick Q&A with John:
Q. What is the new spot
A. Punta Goleta, it's an 'all time wave'
Q. When does it break?
A. It takes large and extra-large swell

Q. What kind of break is it?
A. the reef goes from deep to a shallow plate, so it draws up quickly out of nowhere like a Hawaiian wave. The right is long...like 300 yards long...and holds it's shape. The left is solid.

Q. How is the channel
A. Works great until the surf is massive...then it closes.

Q. Is it your favorite SUP wave?
A. With out a doubt.
