Other than Snips, Gerr and Dunfee (maybe?), why don’t you invite someone who actually surfs the place (more than twice a year)? What about Mark Livingston? He is almost 60 and would beat most of your field…?
We are good friends with Mark, and yes he charges but … We invited all the top pros guys – Don’t worry action will be there …. Guys like Greg and Rusty, Mark Healey, Danilo Couto, Twiggy, etc. are on it on any big swells.
Thanks for the advances though but seriously ask Mark what he thinks about it…
Mark charges for sure – All the top pros will be there – guys like Greg Long, Mark Healey, Danilo Couto, etc. those guys surf it anytime it’s on – don’t worry action will be there the day of the event!

Gary,
I think that you and the majority of the people on the list that surf todos regularly will agree that Garth has more than earned his place on the “Invitee” list.
It looks like you are missing Toby Cunningham. Didn’t he catch the biggest photographed paddle in wave there?

garth englehorn needs to be in the event always out there charging
Will Dillon is packing and ready to go for this swell and hoping it’s bigger than 30 foot faces.
What about the underground chargers? not because they haven´t been really exposed by the media means that they can´t charge, like this 22 year old kid Jensen Hassett that charges with the top pros
VAMOS RAMON! VAMOS DIEGO! Toda la fuerza y energia para este evento!! un saludo fraterno!
Las mejores vibras para todos los latinos!
Vamos Cabezón, Ramón, Oscar, David y Coco!!!
Huevos cabrones!!
Go saffa’s!
Think you guys should throw some more “younger” guys in the mix….frank soloman for one and I am sure there are plenty young cali guys charging!
You guys should include more Latins in the invetees, since its in a Latin Spot.
“Aguja” Di Pace should definetly be there.
Good Choice in invites ! They all charge and I will be praying for epic surf for you guys. Enjoy, be safe and keep the feeling alive for all the big wave surfers around the world that love to ride and enjoy the spirt of surfing ! You are all winners just being in the water when it is 20ft !
PS.Where are all the Ozzies ?
Glad to see Andrew Marr as an invitee!
