The nominees for the 2009 Billabong XXL Big Wave Awards are in and nothing short of impressive. Must have been a good year for Tasmania with a bunch of clips coming out of Shipsterns Bluff. The above clip is for the Rider of the Year nominees and I’m particularly pupmed on Brian Conleys POV shot. He has collected some pretty interesting footage over the years and that hand held shot is no exception. Check the site for the full list of nominees.
