STAND UP WORLD TOUR
By: Parker McDonald
The British Virgin Islands played host to Finlandia’s Location X Finals, presented by the Moorings and in association with Starboard. Victory KoreDry continued solid support of the World Tour by outfitting all the competitors with their trademark KoreDry rashies. The finals took place December 15th-18th and did not disappoint, with a heavy favorite being knocked out before the finals.
Though the conditions weren’t ideal; there was a wide playing field with a lot of scoring potential. Leco Salazar, number 2 in the world, achieved the ultimate prize by winning not only the event but also taking the 2012 World Championship Crown. This was his first World Championship Title, and the only way he could achieve this was by winning this event and ensuring that Sean was knocked out prior to the finals. Kai Lenny, who was a favorite going into this event, was upset in Heat 3 of the quarterfinals, putting an end to his Title campaign for 2012. Victory has supported the Stand Up World Tour over the years. Here is some video footage from some of the previous events.
