Congratulations to the 2018 Winners & Finalists
First off, we would like to send a huge THANK YOU! to all of the photographers and surfers who braved the elements and participated in the contest. It is your dedication and love for surfing and photography that makes this event so special. What Cold Shot showed us is that our community is less about competition and more about collaboration. The amount of positivity shared between you all throughout the winter, connecting with each other and hyping on each other’s photos, is the most important thing (we think) to come out of this. We really look forward to seeing it grow.
