WANNING, Hainan Island, China (Monday, November 25, 2013) - Clean conditions with good 3 feet plus sets sees round one called on at the Riyue Bay ASP World Longboard Championships hosted by Wanning.
The world’s best longboarders have fully familiarised themselves with the reef over the past three days and it’s now down to the serious side of competing for the 2013 ASP World Longboard title.
“We waited through the outgoing tide this morning and now the tide has turned we’re seeing bigger and more consistent sets along with very clean winds which look ideal for round one,” said Contest Director Dane Jordan.
