For the first time in history the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) will bring surfing to The People's Republic of China with the SWATCH GIRLS PRO China hosted by Wanning! Running from October 26 through 30, 2011, the ASP Women's World Longboard Title event will grace the City of Wanning on the Island of Hainan, and have the honour of crowning the 2011 ASP Women's World Longboard Champion.
Consider two representations of two very big waves, below. The first is a photograph of Mike Parsons at Cortes Bank. The second is a video of Garrett McNamara near Nazare, Portugal. Now take out some measuring tape and make the distance of one foot between your hands. That's the amount, according to the Billabong XXL committee, that McNamara's wave is bigger than Parsons's wave.
