"I'm very excited to be a part of this new online community platform, where the up and coming young guns, along with unknown heroes can showcase their photos and videos alongside the super pros.

This will be a platform for the youth to launch their careers. We will also see unsung heroes waving their flag and letting the world know they still have some mojo left in them. The best part about it is you all are invited! So do us a favor and tell a friend, better yet, tell all your friends. See ya in the water," said Ken "Skindog" Collins.
"I am proud to announce the 1st contest of 2010," said Collins. "It's called The Mavericks STEEP N DEEP." The Mavericks "STEEP N DEEP" contest is as simple as the wave it's self. Maverick's is the biggest baddest paddle wave in the world. The crews that charge year after year have one goal, to get the best drop of their lives, and the steeper n deeper, the better. The boys and I have this contest amongst ourselves every year and now we are inviting you to join us. The rules are easy, the best drop where the rider is in the deepest take off spot and the steepest position of the face. Any Mavericks wave from Oct 2009 to March 30th 2010 with a rider pushing it to the steep n deep level is a candidate to win. Check out the REELcomp.com website for details.
