The best female big wave surfers will receive their cash prize at the Red Bull Mangnitude event, which was launched yesterday through the energy drink brand's platforms.

$50.000 will be shared between the best overall performance ($35.000), the second-place finisher ($5.000) and the best wave of the season ($5.000).

Last year Keala Kennelly took home the top prize, Makani Adric came in second and the best wave was surfed by Emily Erickson with a bomb at Waimea.

The brand raised the total amount to be paid by $15.000, from $35 to $50.000.
