The best adult will be offered a trip to the OXBOW World Longboard Tour in Hawaii. The best kid will be granted a one-year sponsorship with OXBOW. During the two-days of Waterman sessions, exclusive coaching will be provided to all attendees in all the Watersports available, including Surfing, SUP and the Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe.
