Horn, Kahalo, whose name means “light feet,” is a surfer. He has the patience to wait all day for the perfect wave, just for himself. As he waits, his friend, the seagull Watcher, perches on his head. The two drift on the ocean for hours, waiting for the perfect wave. There are days when he never catches a single wave, but Kahalo doesn’t mind. As long as he can find a wave that is his own, just for him ...

The Kahalo: It’s My Wave series is a collaboration between UPTEMPO and HANDS IN FACTORY’s Running Horns series, featuring the surfer Kahalo riding his own perfect wave. In addition to the Original version, this series debuts on VeVe with special editions Ver. DeepSea, Ver. MonoChrome and Ver. Rainbow.

Waitlist Drop - Blind Box

Waitlist will open 12 hours before drop time. If you enter the Waitlist and are lucky enough to secure a reservation, you will have 7 minutes to complete the purchase process. If you do not complete the purchase, your collectible reservation will be returned to the public pool and be available for users to purchase directly from the VeVe Store. More info on Waitlist Drops HERE.

‍These digital collectibles will be available for purchase as a blind box, meaning you won’t know which rarity you have acquired until after your successful purchase. From there, you can continue to expand your collection with additional blind boxes, or interact with other users in the Market to complete your set!

MCP Priority Bidding

Upon entering the drop Waitlist, Collectors can opt to redeem Master Collector Program Points to bid on priority Waitlist selection for a collectible reservation. After a bid is placed, Collectors can increase their bid, and/or withdraw their bid up until the Waitlist closes.

At drop time, the highest bidders will be awarded a collectible reservation for the opportunity to complete their purchase using Gems at the Store price. At this point users' MCP Points are deducted from their MCP points balance. If users decide not to make a purchase, their MCP Points WILL NOT be refunded.

If a Collector is NOT successful in securing a collectible reservation using Priority Bidding, their MCP Points WILL NOT be deducted. These Collectors are considered in the Waitlist entry pool and still have a chance to win the drop via normal Waitlist selection logic.

Note: Collectors will only be able to secure a single purchase per successful reservation. Additional collectibles can be purchased after the reservation period ends, if inventory is available.
