LIKE it big? Today the world’s top big wave crazies will compete at the Billabong Pico Alto 2011- Copa Burn. Stop two on the Big Wave World Tour. You can watch it live HERE.

Legendary shaper and Big Wave World Tour Director Gary Linden said: “With a long period swell on the way with great direction and light winds, Pico Alto will provide some excellent waves for this year’s event. While not quite as big as last year, the quality looks to be better and we can expect a very high level of big wave performance surfing.”

Last year’s winner and current Big Wave World Champ Jamie Sterling will defend his title against personalities like Greg Long (USA), former World Champ Carlos Burle (Brazil), XXL award winners Danilo Couto (Brazil) and Grant “Twiggy” Baker (South Africa), as well as locals legends like Alvaro Malpartida, Rafael Velarde, Gabriel Villarán, Sebastian de Romaña and more. Gabriel Villarán, the highest ranked Peruvian, currently 3 rd in the world, has the opportunity to surpass current BWWT leader Marcos Monteiro (Brazil).

Every traveling surfer should experience Peruvian winter big wave surfing at least once in his youth. It's very exhilarating and humbling at the same time. Cool water, fresh air, la Garua fog,lots of paddling, serious duck-dives, bail-outs, full sinus reamings and underwater rag-dolling,dangling drops with long drawn out turns, slabby ceiling sections, rolling grindermaul foam balls,rocks, sea wolves...ceviche and Pilsen Callao cerveza...What are you waiting for?
