XXL zmagovalci izbrani

Letošnji oziroma lanskoletni Billbong XXL je končan. Glavno nagrada za rajd leta in zraven še za največjo tubo (skupaj 55k$) je dobil Ken "Skindog" Collins iz Santa Cruza v Kaliforniji, val ki ga je odpeljal pa je bila ogromna zelena bomba v Puertu Escondidu. Dober pa je tudi Kenov komentar na zmago in nagrado: "I would've paid $50,000 to be in that barrel." Za vse rezultate beri naprej.
