Congratulations Dan & Ollie for getting nominated for Billabong XXL Contest! A first for Oregon surfers happens twice in the same session! Both Dan Hasselschwert & Ollie Richardson have been nominated for the Monster Tube of the Year award in the 10th Annual Global Big Wave Awards. Dan got a super deep tube at Scotts Reef that got nominated for the award which pays $5,000.00 to the photo that is selected as the winner.

Ollie was also nominated for a big barrel he probably wishes he would have made but instead took a huge wipeout….another catagory in the Billabong XXL Contest is “Wipeout of the Year” which Ollie’s photo is also a candidate for. As a result of years of hard surfing, training and dedication this Oregon Tow team now has the 3 opportunities to win the $5,000.00 prize. This is the first time an Oregon surfer has been nominated for the prestigious big wave award. Dan & Ollie…..way to go BIG!!!!
