Al and Cotty finish Tenth at APT World Tow in Surfing Championships, Pichilemu, Chile
Al and Cotty have recently returned from the APT event in chile where they finished tenth. The big wave pair are pleased with their result. Al said “it’s significant for us because we come from a nation that was never expected to have waves or surfers of a world standard, yet we have finished tenth in an event with competitors from places like Hawaii, California and Brazil”. The APT event helps ligitimise big wave surfers in the eyes of onlookers. People see what big wave riders do and think of them as madmen but they are highly trained athletes and experienced watermen. Al and Cotty have now got their sights set on Nelscott Reef, Oregon, where north Americas only tow in surfing event will take place with a similar list of invitees as the Chile comp.
