We are EXCITED to announce that the second Open Comp for the 2020-21 season will be up at:
Palm Beach (with alternate locations available in case of weather),
Sunday 11th April
Starting 7am, first heat scheduled to hit the water at 7:45
Only SPSC Members allowed to participate this season, and all registrations must be done online in advance.
A few important changes to past seasons:
- Particpants must bring their own refreshments.
- Social distancing rules must be followed at comp area, so please spread out.
- Hand sanitizer will be available at the tent, and sanitizing wipes will be used to clean scoring equipment between heats.
And our standard Open comp details:
- Three divisions will be run depending on numbers: Mens, Womens and Juniors.
- There will be a heat progression system in place including a repercharge round so every surfer will compete at least twice.
- Final placings on the day will earn points for the annual Open SUP Surf pointscore.
- All competitors are expected to remain at the event site for the entire duration of the heats as judging is pre-allocated so everyone gets a turn to judge a heat.
- Heats will be 20 minutes long and run back to back.
- All competitors are expected to wear leg ropes and allocated coloured rash vests.
- Rides will be judged on style, length of ride, positioning, wave selection, difficulty of ride/maneuvers and all round performance. Points will be allocated in reflection to the intensity and difficulty of the moves performed.
- All competitors are expected to be at the marshalling tent around 7am, for a 7:20am riders briefing and 7:45am potential start. Given smooth running of heats this will have things wrapped up by around 1pm.
- All general surfing rules, common sense and good sportspersonship are expected at all times.
