SPSC SUP 10ft Plus & Foil Expression Session - Feb 2022

We are EXCITED to announce that the 2nd Ten Foot Plus comp and Foil Expression Session for the 2021-22 season will be up at:

Palm Beach (with alternate locations available in case of weather),
Sunday 13 February
Starting 7am, first heat scheduled to hit the water at 7:45 

**** UPDATE 9 FEBRUARY ****

SPSC - 10’ plus long-range weather guesstimate.

A bit of southerly wind over the Friday and Saturday stretch will help build on an existing SE swell providing plenty of size and power for Sunday’s comp. Expectations of a 1.5m swell around 8seconds and an early high tide, promise to bring out the best at Palmy. As the wind tapers off over Saturday night Sunday should bring a nice day with dying SE to E winds, light cloud and mid 20 and up temperatures.

Register now. Pre-registration is mandatory for the event (including Foil which will be confirmed conditions pending Friday or Saturday).

Look forward to seeing you all on the water Sunday.

*******

All SPSC registrations must be done online in advance. 

Check-in on the day is requried.

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 Ten Foot Plus comp details:

• There is no heat progression, every surfer will ride twice earning points for a final position at the end of the 3 events.
• 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 15 minutes long and run back to back, which means 3 hours total run time.
• All competitors are expected to wear leg ropes and allocated coloured rash vests.
• Boards must be over 10’ in length.
• 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 7:30am potential start. Given smooth running of heats this will have things wrapped up by noon.
• All general surfing rules, common sense and good sportspersonship are expected at all times.

All new Foil Expresssion Session

Don't forget to hang around after the Ten Foot Plus heats to watch or participate in the Foil Expression Session. Some of the best foilers in Australia will be showcasing their glides and carves and maybe even aerials. They will also be providing hints and tips for the less experienced.

It is going to be an awesome year.....yewwwww
