2007 SURFING Google Challenge Presented by Nike 6.0

Let the readers take control, get psyched and scour the world’s coastlines for the next big thing. Who knows, it could turn out to be the next Superbank, Jaws or Cortez. For a surfer, Google Earth is an amazing tool. The speed in which you can zip from J-Bay to Uluwatu and back up to Nova Scotia is astounding. Even better, you can troll along unknown stretches of coastlines, scouring the set-ups as resolution and cloud cover permits, and dreaming of how you might get there. But there’s a level of deception to the whole thing, too. The images are static, five years dated, and often heavily pixelated. The pointbreaks generally look good, but about the beaches, shifting river mouths and reef passes it’s hard to tell. Could be insane. Could be a hoax. Could just depend on time and tide, swell direction and season. Plus, there’s a lot that goes into actually getting there: cost, accessibility, season and safety. Now, SURFING has decided to take care of all that for one lucky winner. You could star in a SURFING Mag photo trip. It could all happen to you. Just download the free Google Earth software at Google.com and start scouring the globe for the next undiscovered super-spot.
