“We were really disappointed to have to postpone the event last winter in the face of massive storm surf and onshores but are delighted to be returning to the natural amphitheatre and shred wedge that is Lusty Glaze for the rescheduled event later this month,” says Approaching Lines Director Chris Nelson.
The Slyder Cup is broken into 4 classes: body surf / handplane; paipo / bellyboard; surf mat and alaia with a winner in each.

Tom will be traveling around Europe on the hunt for big waves in the coming weeks before heading off to Hawaii to test his mettle.
