JUDGING CRITERIA

Style - Flow - Power
to score maximum, utilise the full length of your board, with big hacks, off the tops, cut backs and nose rides with a stylistic approach to walking your board and cross stepping, with a quiet upper body. The Yin and Yang of logging! Your bottom turns, fades, stalls, critical surfing in the pocket all count.

Nose rides held with additional flare and technical foot work up and down the board will increase scores. Waves without an attempt to reach the nose won’t reach full potential score.

Particular nods to our forefathers, such as cockroaches, quasimodo’s, coffin rides, head dips, spinners, parallel stance, switch stance will get you points.

Complete the wave & kick out.

Wave size or length won’t be scored, but better shape waves with longer walls will allow more scoring capabilities.

JUDGING NOTES
No Drop Ins / Interference maybe called if flagrant or occurs more than once. Shared waves are not really encouraged.
