When I found out about the Nixon Surf Challenge, an extraordinary surf competition that was held during 5 - 11 May in Kamchatka this year I was blown away. Adrex.com cannot but share this with you - beautiful contrasting pictures of surfing taken in the most hostile climate. Other than a typical event, the Nixon Surf Challenge emphasizes free-surfing and style in a relaxed atmosphere yet inclement conditions. Well done Nixon!
Within more than a decade of existence, the Nixon Surf Challenge has developed from a casual get-together of befriended riders sharing some waves into a highly anticipated event discovering unexplored destinations. From the arctic conditions of the Lofoten Islands, Norway, to the surreal landscapes of Iceland, the past events have been some intense trips to the unknown.

With a next to non-existing infrastructure and water temperatures are rather arctic than tropical, a surf trip there is a mission far from the ordinary.
Ready!
Surf's on!
Congrats to William Aliotti, winner of the 2014 Nixon Surf Challenge!
“I’m so happy to return from Russia with two prizes in the bag – it’s more than I could have ever expected when I was invited on the trip,” said William. “As a Nixon rookie, it’s been a real honor to experience this incredible competition first-hand alongside such a stacked rider line-up. Big ups to all the surfers, especially Vincent who pushed me all the way, and the Nixon crew working behind the scenes to make this incredible adventure a reality!”
The international top event this year is all about the new Olympic windsurfing class, foil windsurfing and wingfoiling. More than 300 world’s best windsurfers from 42 nations will compete in various foil classes on Lake Silvaplana.
