Kelly Slater’s Wave Garden has been compared to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, so he decided to give the opportunity of a lifetime to two lucky surfers by offering golden tickets to come ride his ultra exclusive man-made barrel.  The contest is fundraiser for WSL PURE, the charity division of the World Surf League.  There is is minimum entry fee of $10 but you can go up to $50,000 (more money, better chance of winning).
