GFH Boards Surfers Nominated for
Billabong XXL Awards!!
The finalists for the 2008 Billabong XXL Global Big Wave Awards were announced making the culmination of what is likely the greatest year in big wave surfing history.
GFH Skateboards is stoked to announce that 2 of our pro athletes have made the exclusive cut. Jamie Sterling and Tyler Fox were chosen for the prestigious award with prizes totaling over $150,000.
Fox (top right image) and Sterling (bottom left image) are no strangers to the XXL awards, both have seen the nomination and in 2006 Jamie Sterling won best performance. Tyler Fox has been nominated for the 2008 XXL Big Wave of the Year and Sterling is up again for the Overall Performance Award.
Both athletes ride some of the largest waves ever recorded and in some of the most amazing and legendary killer surf spots around the globe. The XXL Awards really is the Oscars for
the mega surfers of the industry. If you want to see surfers with big brass balls you need not look any further than these select few. GFH Boards will be cruising up in the 40’ RV with about 20 of our closest friends to support Jamie Sterling and Tyler Fox. While the event is not open to the public you can view Friday the 11th’s awards on the live web cast on EXPN.com and another presentation on ESPN Friday May 29th 9:30 PST
