This annual event pits surfers and snowboarders against each other in the surf at Huntington Beach one day, then on the snow at Mountain High Resort the next for a chance to win the $20,000 prize purse. Since its inception in 1991, the H2O Winter Classic has seen it all in terms of weather and athletes: wind, rain, and snow; pros and amateurs; men and women.
