Here's how the RB5X works: Five surfers throw five bucks each into the pot and paddle out for a 90-minute session. The object is to push the limits. Surf as hard as you can. Be creative. Go bigger than you've ever had before.

After the session, the surfers score each other on the following five criteria - torque, boost, push, mojo, and combo. The winner rolls with twenty-five bucks in his pocket. But more importantly, the winner gets the respect.

Here are the five criteria used for scoring:
