Three months into the competition, the winners of the Red Bull Magnitude were announced.
For the past three months, Hawaii has been the home field for the Red Bull Magnitude competition. The ladies participating in the competition were doing everything they could to try to catch the biggest waves possible and get the grand prize. The competition window has closed and the winners have now been announced. The biggest winner of the event is Skylar Lickle, who took home the overall performance award and will take home a $35,000 prize.
Over the past three months, more than two dozen women have participated in curated online competition at some of Hawaii’s biggest wave breaks. Each rider had to deliver his three biggest waves, and the 21-year-old Lickle came out on top. The winners were chosen by three All-Star judges: Betty Dippolito, Rochelle Ballard and Kai Linney.
