Jarrad Howse (Australia) was so close to winning last year’s Cold Water Classic Series! He only needed to qualify to the next round to beat fellow Australian Blake Thornton to the prize! This win would have been the pinnacle of Jarrad Howse’s career!
But all his dreams were smashed by Puerto Rican surfer Dylan Graves. His score beat Jarrad’s by only two- hundredths of a point! But that was enough to smash the Australian’s dream of becoming the Overall Champion.
Who is going to take home the title and the US$ 50.000?? Is it going to be Royden Bryson from South Africa, Stuart Kennedy from Australia or someone else?

The wood is beautiful and comes in all different colors: black, yellow, white. If it stays on the river, it will also turn purple. All the venues of the event have been pretty...

The ocean has done a lot for the O’Neill family and they wanted to give something back. So Jack O’Neill set up the Sea Odyssey Program. This program connects kids to the ocean, a lot of them have never been on a boat or on the ocean before. It teaches them how essential and important the ocean is. If they don’t understand it, they won’t be motivated to protect it. For example, one of their units is marine science, so the kids gather plankton and learn about the bottom of the food chain. And h...
