The recipient will document herself surfing on the board and will pass it on to fellow surfers with the proviso that it is returned in time for next year\u2019s Wavescape Festival.<\/p>\n<p>Ocean conservation and sustainability remain core motivations for Wavescape and its partners at the festival.
