Surfing legends and the world's hottest longboarders are descending on the famous beaches of les Cavaliers, la Barre and les Dunes, on the French, Basque Coast, for the Oxbow World Longboard Championship scheduled to start this Monday, Apr. 30, 2007, with a waiting period through to May 6, 2007.
The event will crown the ASP World Longboard Champion and Australian Josh Constable, will be there to defend the crown he won in the epic waves of Costa Rica last year, but local hopes will be with young Frenchman and Oxbow wildcard, Antoine Delpero. He has been based in the Basque coast for the last few years and is both an accomplished shortboarder, as well as a skillful longboarder. Having made a name for himself riding the huge waves of the Basque coast this winter, he clearly has the talent to cause some major upsets.
