Masters Championship in the Maldives - Curren , Occy , Pottz etc duke it out !

It’s going on right now , follow it here

http://www.surfingchampionstrophy.com/news/23/20/Single-fin-champion-to-be-crowned-today

There’s a single fin , twin fin , and thruster division and all contestants surf in all of them.

Check out last years videos , they’re a great watch

I knew Josh Constable was good on a longboard , but didn’t know he cuts it up on shortboards too.

 

Now for the BAD news.

There’s talk of Sultan’s and Honky’s being made exclusive a la Pasta Pt. and others

Even locals it seems won’t be allowed to surf there , let alone boat charters , and overflow from nearby resorts.

read about it and make up your own mind , but there’s a petition you can sign to express you r opposition if you like

Say No to Surf exclusivity in the Maldives

man , I was wondering if the quiksilver masters contests still ran ? how good would it be to see curren , carroll, pottz , ?elko? , ?cheyne? , barton , damien [hardman] , ?richard cram ? gerlach ?

 

  as well as the elder M.R. , Rabbit , shaun , mike ho , et al

 

  surfing quality waves !

 

  throw dane and bertlemann and buttons into the mix , too, though , I reckon ....

 

  cheers for the link , nuclear !

 

  I'm hoping "one day " they 'may' release a "best of" dvd of the masters comps ??

 

...tavarua , ireland , france , hawaii, australia , maldives ...etc

 

  one can only HOPE , eh ?!

 

I saw a photo of occy with his son in the maldives on facebook today , and wondered what he was doing there ...now I know !

 

  cheers !
