DescriptionThe Oxbow World Masters Surfing Championship was held in mid-August at Puerto Escondido, Mexico with 6-8" tubes pounding through the entire event. While this year's Masters contest was an honor and a tribute to the 24 invited surfers, it was a challenge to them as well. The grinding warm-water barrels at Puerto had no interest in anyone's reputation. Tube-riding in the here and now was all that mattered; the object was to keep your board in one piece, take off deep, pull in, and come out the end. Everyone of the Masters surfers got thrashed trying to do this. And all of them answered back with fantastic late drops and some long behind-the curtain disappearances.On View
