Frames: Chile's Best Big Waves
WSL
The Quiksilver Ceremonial hasn't run since 2011. But with huge waves predicted, fans are expected to flock to the beach at Punta de Lobos, Chile, to witness the opening event of the 2015/2016 Big Wave Tour (BWT).
In the last Ceremonial, local hero Fernando Zegers (CHL) and Joao De Macedo (PRT) split a solid wave, but Zegers was awarded the higher score. The two would finish the event seventh and ninth, respectively.
Kohl Christensen (HAW) finished in fourth place at the 2011 event. The year prior had been his first on the Big Wave Tour, and saw him finish second overall on the Big Wave Tour.
Peruvian charger Gabriel Villaran placed third in the 2011 event.
Hometown favorite Ramon Navarro (CHL) clinched second place with this ride, allowing him to finish with the best rank of his career to date, at No. 5 on the BWT rankings.
Marcos Monteiro (BRA) is reigning champ of the Quiksilver Ceremonial. He'll defend his 2011 Title in the upcoming contest at Punta de Lobos.
