Eight surfers invited from the BLLSS and four World Tour athletes will participate in the BLL Showcase. Dylan Goodale, Nathaniel Curran and Torrey Meister – awarded slots in the Showcase for their recent finishes at the BLLSS Oceanside event – will be joined by the top three surfers from the BLLSS Labor Day Cup in Nags Head, North Carolina.
Additionally, two wild cards will be awarded to one athlete from the Oceanside event and one from the Labor Day Cup contest.

“Many of the guys who participate in the BLLSS have been on the World Tour and there are several who went the free surf route. It should be really interesting to see their mixture of talents and experience against the World Tour competitors on a high performance wave like Lowers and in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers on the webcast,” said Chris Conrad, IMG VP and BLLSS Event Director.
