Long time Namotu guests, Mark & Tristan Hartman have been single-handedly funding the @alohaaward since 2018. Putting up prize money which goes towards the winner’s chosen fund as well as the main prize; an all-expenses paid trip to Namotu. Now they’ve brought in some sponsors including @intlsurftherapyorg, Plaza Home Mortgage, Inc.®, and us, to expand the Aloha Award. The Aloha Award is not about being the best surfer, it’s about sharing the stoke for the ocean and celebrating people making a real difference in their communities. It’s all about recognising, rewarding and supporting exceptional individuals in the global surf community. People who, in addition to cultivating and sharing their joy of surfing with others, are making meaningful contributions to their communities. If you know someone who deserves a trip to Namotu for all their hard work, make sure you nominate them!
