Group M have taken home the trophy at the 4th annual UnLtd: Big Kahuna surfing competition in Manly.
The event, powered by The Trade Desk, saw 15 teams across the industry catch the waves for good to support young people at risk.
The surfing competition included two rounds of surf tag and was open to all levels. The runners-up were Blobfish, with Group M taking first place.
James Bayes, general manager AU & NZ at The Trade Desk said: “Big Kahuna is one of our favourite days of the year! It’s the perfect way to start summer, connecting with the industry outdoors in the sun and all for a great cause. We’re really proud to continue our partnership and to support UnLtd make an impact on youth at risk. Kudos to everyone who got involved.”

“It’s been a busy year with 25 UnLtd events across the country – huge thank you to everyone who has supported us this year and joined our events, in every weather.”
