The winner gets the trophy - a railroad spike made from 14K gold, it weighs 20 ounces+ - and they get $40,000.

In the past the trophy was a gold-plated railroad spike. This year they spent a little more money & hired a goldsmith to make the trophy.

Actually it's the most expensive trophy in the history of pro surfing.

I never expected Gold History Trivia would come to the Pro Surfing world, but it just did !
