Out of the depths of the Atlantic winter come rare moments of perfection, classic days where the wind, swell and tide align. As British and Irish surfers these are the days we live for. Flaming beacons among the dark nights and storms.

To celebrate these moments, the British and Irish winter swell chasers and our unique shared surf culture Down the Line and Carve have partnered up to launch the #WarriorsOfWinter.

The photo and video competition aims to celebrate the best waves ridden around the UK and Ireland during the winter months.

The winner and overall ‘Warrior’ of the winter will WIN A CUSTOM BOARD of their choice from any of the world class shapers that *Down the Line stock plus a full winter wetsuit kit.
