The Oakley/Surfing Life Big Wave Awards celebrating big waves ridden in Australia were held last night and surfer Marti Paradisis, 25, walked away with the award for “the biggest paddle-in ride and the award for best overall performance for 2008-09,” according to a story on The Mercury.
Marti Paradisis, 25, of Clifton Beach, won the award for the biggest paddle-in ride and the award for best overall performance for 2008-09. . . . This makes him the first surfer in the history of the national competition to win two awards in one year.. . For this year’s competition, Paradisis continued to surf at Shipstern Bluff but he also tackled the newly discovered wave at Eddystone Rock, near Pedra Branca, off Tasmania’s South-East.
Yeah, that looks pretty big.
