We look forward to having a long lasting and prosperous relationship.”
“Bringing two brands together with such a deep-rooted history in surfing just amps up the energy and creativity around this event,” says Mavericks pioneer and contest director Jeff Clark. “We’re really looking forward to growing together for the sake of big wave surfing, the competitors and our community.”
