The Atlantic Ocean has produced a bounty of massive storms and swells, becoming a key focus of the 2009 Billabong XXL Global Big Wave Awards as the event heads into the final five weeks of its year-long event period.
Perennial XXL finalists Greg Long and Grant 'Twiggy' Baker gave up their lengthy vigil at Maverick's and flew to Ireland. Check out Grant Baker's blog on the trip.
Baker is a front-runner in two categories of the Billabong XXL Global Big Wave Awards, his rides at Tafelberg last August and Mavericks in November still leading contenders with a deadline of March 20th.
