El Fronton "The Wild Wave" Event


Between the 10th and 21st of December 2010, the Canary Islands will play host to the biggest event in Bodyboarding, the 2010 IBA El Fronton Invitational. The event will feature the best bodyboarders in the world at one of the the wildest waves, streamed live via satellite on Red Bull Web TV.

El Fronton provides the ultimate canvas to showcase performance Bodyboarding at its most extreme. Regarded as one of the wildest waves on the the planet, El Fronton is feared and respected for its raw power breaking on a shallow reef, set among the striking cliffs of Gran Canaria. It's also known for its amazing ramps that allow riders to launch out of the most extreme sections witnessed in any form of surfing. The format sees 12 internationals and 4 locals competing in a one-day shoot-out for glory. Featuring 8 past and present World Champions, the line-up is arguably the best ever assembled for competitive Bodyboarding. The event will see 4 man - 30 minute heats, with a 40 minute final, providing over 4 hours of action-packed entertainment. It will take place on the best day over an 11 day waiting period from the 10th - 21st December 2010.
