As the competitive surfing world faces turbulent times due to the coronavirus pandemic – in the form of postponements, cancelations, and no world champs in 2020 – folks are being forced to get inventive.
One such spark of COVID creativity being the Red Bull Magnitude event: an all-digital, all-female big-wave contest spanning from December 1, 2020 – February 28, 2021 and pushing women chargers to test the boundaries in huge Hawaiian surf. The prize? $40,000 divvied up for a handful of top performers.
