The Big Island to host the finals for the 2011 World Tour

The Stand Up World Tour is once again proud to be returning to the Big Island of Hawaii for the 2011 Hawaii Island Finals that will start this weekend at Honoli’i Beach Park. Returning to the Big Island is like a journey back to the roots, and provides a fitting close to what can only be described as an epic season in 2011.

It all starts this Saturday with the prestigious opening ceremony and registration at the Naniloa Volcanoes Resort, looking back at Coconut Island and Hilo Bay. Stay tuned to www.standupworldtour.com and the Stand Up World Tour facebook for the latest information, news and highlights.

Even though Kai Lenny has already secured his unprecedented 2nd World Title at just 19 years old, the rest of the field are right on his heels and vying for position before the close of the 2011 season.

From Brazil’s Leco Salazar who is coming off his impressive win in front of a home crowd in Brazil and Frenchman and winner in California, Antoine Delpero, to the battling Hawaiians, Robin Johnston, Zane Schweitzer and Aaron Napoleon, the competition will be fierce and the stadium of Honoli’i will provide the backdrop to one of the most competitive showdowns in the sport’s history.
