Jamaica's four-man team of Luke Williams, Shane Simmonds, Icah Wilmot and Ackeam Phillips to the 2010 Billabong/ISA World Surfing Games in Lima, Peru, have arrived and settled in for the world's most prestigious international surfing team event.

More than 30 of the worlds surfing nations have fielded teams to this year's renewal of the Games in South Americas oldest surf nation where epic surfing waves as large as 15feet are predicted for the event.

"This is the coldest waves I have ever surfed in my life!" said Ackeam Phillips of the frigid south Pacific Ocean. The opening ceremony took place yesterday with the team in high spirits and scheduled to surf in their first-round heats beginning today.

"With only four members of what should have been an eight-member team it will be impossible to garner maximum possible points" said Jamaica Surfing Association president Billy Wilmot "This year's goal is for team members to deliver their best individual performances to date"
