Greg Long has won the 2014 Billabong XXL “Ride of the Year”, with the wave ridden at Puerto Escondido, Mexico, on the 7th June, 2013. After being acquired by the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP), the brand known for awarding big wave stunts crowned an almost all-anglophone group of daredevils. The only exception was Gautier Garanx, from France, who won the “Biggest Wave” award for a bomb caught at Belharra Reef, France, on the 23rd December, 2013. Apart from that, the Billabong XXL is still a very North American event.
