O’Neill Cold Water Classic 2011 - New Zealand: Haere Mai Aoteaora - The Cold Water Classic Series is coming to New Zealand!!
The O’Neill Cold Water Classic Series 2011 continues with its promise to push boundaries to find new remote waves around the world in which to host a world-class surfing competition series.
For 2011, the O’Neill CWC Series brings a 6 Star ASP World Tour event to Gisborne, on the North Island of New Zealand for the first time ever!
Gisborne is one place in the world that is all too familiar with “firsts”. It is the first city in the world to greet the sun every morning. And it was the first area of New Zealand sighted by the crew of Captain James Cook’s ship, the Endeavour. And now, between March 23 and March 29, 2011, it will be the first stop on the O’Neill Cold Water Classic Series 2011.
Sitting on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand, Turanga Nui A Kiwa, is known for its high quality surf based on the coast’s exposure to a 180-degree swell window. Add to this an assortment of reefs, beaches, points and bars all facing different directions, as well as a lack of crowds due to its remote location, and this is guaranteed to be an epic kick-off for the O’Neill Cold Water Classic Series 2011.
Following the launch in New Zealand, the O’Neill Cold Water Classic Series will travel to its northernmost destination - Thurso, Scotland, for the 6 Star ASP World Tour event from April 13 until April 19, before culminating once again at the 6 Star Prime ASP World Tour event, the O’Neill Cold Water Classic Series, California, in Santa Cruz, October 24-30, 2011.
