About the Event:
O'Neill Wave of the Winter powered by Surfline will be won by the surfer who catches and successfully rides the single best wave of the contest period on the North Shore of Oahu. The judging panel will select each month's top rides and they will collectively be deemed the finalists for the grand prize - $25,000 to the surfer and $5,000 to the videographer who captures the winning wave.

This year's event will be bigger and better than ever, with the introduction of the O'Neill Breakthrough Performer Award; an all-new division running in concert with the O'Neill Wave of the Winter and the Clif Bar Overall Performance Award. This unique category celebrates the accomplishments of the surfer, 19 years old or younger, who rises above all others in his/her age group with sustained, standout performances on the Seven Mile Miracle from November through February. The winner receives $5000.
