What You'll Do
Somewhere in central California lies the longest rideable open-barrel wave ever created by man. Developed by the Kelly Slater Wave Company and hidden from the public at Kelly’s Surf Ranch, the wave has never been accessible to anyone outside of Kelly’s friends and family… until now. You and a guest will be flown out to California, where you’ll get to stay at the Surf Ranch for a weekend of surfing the perfect man-made wave with Kelly Slater himself. And when the sun goes down, the party keeps going with bonfires, jam sessions and more with Kelly and his friends. Flights and lodging included.
No donation or payment is necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes.
Who You'll Help
A partnership between the World Surf League and Columbia University, WSL PURE is a nonprofit that’s dedicated to improving the planet’s oceans—a cause relevant to all of us. The ocean contributes immensely to our global experience, directly affecting issues like climate change and pollution, and with greater understanding and respect for the environment, we can improve that experience for generations to come. WSL PURE is focusing on four research projects, which will increase scientists’ ability to predict extreme weather events and subsequently reduce the costs associated with them: Oceans & Climate; Ocean Health and Ecosystems; Carbon Uptake and Ocean Acidification; and Sea Level Rise and Coral Reefs. By creating a generation of “surfer scientists,” WSL PURE aspires to empower global citizens to become more engaged in finding real-world solutions to ocean health.
