Wave of Compassion is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the everyday surfer to make history. One grand prize winner from the USA will win an all expense paid boat trip with Strider Wasilewski, Ben Bourgeois, David Rastovich, Conan Hayes, Keith Malloy, FUEL TV, and Surfer Magazine on a surf/cultural expedition to the Mentawai Islands for 10 days. The grand prize winner may bring one friend, spouse or partner to accompany them on the trip.

The grand prize winner and their guest not only get a chance to surf the unparalleled Mentawai's with four unbelievable surfers for ten days, but the entire trip will be photographed and covered by an A-List Surfer Magazine editorial crew. The winners, everyday surfers from the United States, will be the featured attraction alongside Strider Wasilewski, Ben Bourgeois, David Rastovich, Conan Hayes and Keith Malloy in the Surfer Magazine/Surfermag.com article(s) and FUEL TV special.

The good folks at Surfer Magazine have also agreed that if one of the grand prize winners scores a prize-winning photo they have a realistic chance at getting their shot on the cover of Surfer Magazine.

The trip will include an upriver visit to a Mentawai village to learn about the Mentawai people and their culture, a visit with Dr. Dave to witness and participate in Surf Aid's frontline efforts to combat malaria and disease on the islands; a brief visit to a local area school; and of course, having your mind utterly altered for 10 days of perfect surf with four of the best surfers on the planet giving you pointers.

Winners will be chosen on September 12, 2004; actual trip dates will be October 9 - October 20, 2004 on board Saraina Koat Mentawai's surf charter boat, the Midas. The winner will have four weeks notice before the trip's departure. Click here for official rules and details.

In addition to the Grand Prize give-away we will also be giving away a variety of insane monthly prizes. Monthly prizes will be chosen on the last day of each month. All monthly prize winners continue to be eligible to win more monthly prizes including the Grand Prize trip.
