    Everyone is frothing incredibly heard about the Fronton comp. Kelly and the boys already have news about it in the news section here http://www.sixty40.co.za/news

    Monday 20th is looking the go. Latest press release is in, so I'll paste it in here and also an international timetable the organisers have released so it's easy to work out the viewing time wherever you are.
    Heaps of aussies are behind Dre and Jerry, those of us loyal to Emerald here at Shark Island are backing Jerry bigtime, he has made such a big impression, which is no mean feat. Go huge Jerry :twisted: :twisted:

    Friday December 17 2010 Gran Canary Island: The one thing that's been on everyone's mind is... when? The time has come. Monday December 20th at 10am GMT the biggest day in bodyboarding history will unfold. The El Fronton Invitational will go down!
    Last night, the competitors ventured into the city of Las Palmas and gathered at the offices of Maldito Rodriguez to go over details about the event. Because the waves are of serious consequence, the one thing that is was every competitors' mind is, 'do we all stand by the fierce competitive positioning strategies or do set that aside and abide by the unwritten rules of respect and priority?' Strangely enough, that very question went unanswered. So it's going to be very interesting to see how it all plays out come December 20th. Other than this seemingly slight detail, everything is now in place to broadcast the event of events.
    On today's daily video update on RedBull.com, the man with a passion for El Fronton speaks. Former world champ, and youngest, Andre Botha tells us what the wave, the comp and life means to him.
    The competitors woke up today to dismal conditions here on the north side of Gran Canaria. To keep active, a bodyboard mission to the south and a hike up one of the volcanoes is scheduled to pass the time. Photos tomorrow.
    For now, we're going to keep reminding you, set your alarm clocks to go off at 9am GMT. That'll give you enough time to prepare your food, pop open your beer or heat up your coffee and prepare to be amazed. Check out tomorrow's daily video update for more action and info.
