Da Bu 2012

Excerpt from letter 6/6/11 by Steve Pezman, Publisher of the Surfer's Journal:

"...a great idea at the right time. Both the surfing dynamic and event concept are simple, dramatic, relatively cheap and easy to stage, fun to watch, promote interesting innovations, and are inventively subjective which gives them a rare, unique value. California’s evenly peeling point breaks are the perfect stage on which to showcase that particular surfing skill. Plus, the waves peel close along the shore from outside to inside, allowing spectators and TV viewers to follow the action. Bob mentioned to me the possibility of providing a legal betting opportunity, never before contemplated because of the objectiveness and mystery of the normal competition structure, and the highly specialized nature of the sport. That feature alone, would add an extremely loud, history making, attention getting dimension to such an event."

Excerpt from email 7/21/11 by Drew Kampion, writer & editor of surfing publications & books for over 40 years

"Malibu has been the quintessential arena for surf competition since it became the hub for surfing contests during the great club era of the 1960s. The Malibu wave is the archetype of what a contest wave should be (symmetrical, smooth, long), and the venue allows excellent observation by both the judges and the public. In fact, it was the regularity and reliability of the Malibu wave that made this the place where nose-riding emerged as a discreet discipline within the sport of surfing. And so it is most appropriate that Malibu be the site of these Malibu Surfrider Nose Riding Championships."

Riding the front end of the surfboard is a balancing act requiring keen technical skills. Hanging ten is just one of the many maneuvers in the repertoire of riding the tip for time. Tip-time takes surfing to the extreme and gets entire audiences caught up in the thrill and suspense of "who gets the longest nose rides?" Malibu Surfrider's "Minute-long Wave" provides one of the best opportunities in the world to maximize on the suspense of the longest tip-time, the "Sport of Kings" and associated media exposure in the lucrative, celebrity driven, legendary surfing community of Malibu.
