Monster Energy Drinks presents the 2010 Todos Santos Big Wave Event. This unique event will unfold in one epic day of big wave surfing in waves exceeding 30-foot face. One of the only two events ever organized, the Reef @ Todos 98, marked surfing’s history with the biggest surf ever ridden in competition. This year Rogue Wave Events will defy the logistical obstacles of producing a grandiose event in heavy sea and on a remote island, to resurrect the event at this top world big wave spot. As current Big Wave World Tour Leader and surfers representative, Greg Long mentioned, this event is sure to “become one of the greatest big wave contests”. Gary Linden, Event Director, renown big wave surfer and legendary shaper is stoked to have the event back at his local big wave spot “I love Baja and Todos, this event is 15 years in the making, thanks to Monster Energy Drinks for fueling our dream, and push big wave surfing”. The top international big wave surfers are delighted to add another big wave venue to the calendar and be able to showcase their talents. Event’s invitee and 9 times world champion Kelly Slater put it in simple words, paddling into monster waves and competing against the best big waves riders in the world “could be fun”!!
