Aloha, Big Wave Challenge Competitors. Mahalo for joining us at the 13th annual Big Wave Challenge fundraiser, hosted by legendary Big Wave Surfer Gerry Lopez. It was an event to remember! We welcome competitors from ages 6 to 69, with snowboarders traveling from as far away as Chile and Japan to join us for this legendary event. Without you all coming out like you have, we couldn’t have the Big Wave Challenge…so thank YOU! 

We couldn’t have asked for better conditions with a powder prelude giving way to a sun drenched day of competition. Thank you all for making this event truly memorable. And congratulations to all our winners below!
