THE MOST NORTHERN,
THE MOST SOUTHERN,
THE WILDEST,
THE COLDEST
AND THE MOST CLASSIC SURF CONTEST ON THE PLANET.

One of the most highly anticipated surf events to hit the world surfing stage, the O'Neill Cold Water Classic (CWC) is gathering momentum.

With four 6Star and one 4Star ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS) events exploring spectacular surf spots in the remote corners of the world, the CWC series will start in the wilds of Tasmania in March before heading to South Africa, Scotland, Canada and Santa Cruz.

Pushing boundaries, delving into the unexplored with a sense of adventure and innovation that defines O'Neill - this is the Cold Water Classic Series launching in 2009.

FIVE events exploring the edges of the world over four continents.

FIVE challenging, quality waves all in extreme and not to mention cold conditions.

FIVE 6-star World Qualifying Series (WQS) events in rugged and unique locations in the depths of nature.

Building on the iconic event in Santa Cruz, and the much lauded Highland Open in Scotland, O'Neill has added events in Tasmania, South Africa and Canada to make the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series a huge and much welcomed addition to the world of surfing.
