Guatemalan big wave rider Polly Kai Ralda appears, for the second consecutive year, on the main guest list for Red Bull Queen of The Bay, a women-only big wave event that begins its waiting period today that runs until November 21, according to the North American website The Inertia.

This is the second time that the waiting period has been opened. Last year the waves did not arrive as expected and that is why the championship was not launched.
