LOS ANGELES, California/USA (Tuesday, October 10, 2017) - Today, the World Surf League (WSL), pro-surfing legend Kelly Slater and the online fundraising platform Omaze are proud to announce the launch of a new campaign offering fans the chance to join Kelly at the one-of-a-kind WSL Surf Ranch. Following the devastation caused by the recent hurricanes in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Puerto Rico and the United States, Kelly and the WSL have teamed up with Omaze once again to support Americares as they work alongside the local communities to restore health services in the regions affected. Fans can enter for the chance to spend the day with Kelly at the ranch for as little as $10 by donating at omaze.com/surfranch through November 14.
One grand-prize winner and their guest will be flown out to the WSL Surf Ranch in Lemoore, California to experience a day full of perfect waves with Kelly Slater and his friends. They will get a private coaching session from one of the greatest surfers of all time and get to watch footage of their customized waves with Kelly in real time. Following all the waves, the winner and their guest can relax in the Surf Ranch hot tub before ending the night with a BBQ. Flights, transportation, and hotel accommodations will all be provided.
Watch Kelly share footage of the previous campaign winner's experience as well as a sneak peek of what the next winner can expect below:
