SPSC SUP Ten Foot Plus & Foil Expression Session - April 10

We are EXCITED to announce that the 3rd 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 10 April
Starting 7am, first heat scheduled to hit the water at 7:30 

**** UPDATE 8 APRIL 2022 ********

After a wild Thursday the swell has relaxed a little sitting around the 2m size where it should stay for the weekend. Onshore Easterly winds will be blowing for the lead up 48hrs to Sunday, but Sunday does seem like we’ll get a small break early. With a low tide just after 9:30am, and remaining powerful swell in the 10 second realm, I’d expect we’ll setup at South Palmy unless things drop off more than forecast. It’s hard to call the banks right now as it’s all a bit of a mess from Thursday’s Easterly, but after a night of clean offshore breeze expecting things to settle in nicely for Sunday. The tides are not very big this weekend and will have lessor effect on conditions, so let's ask the sky nicely to stop leaking and for that Sunday westerly to sit nicely at 5kn throughout the morning.

Will post another update on Saturday. Please get registered so we can organize heats.

Please pre-register now for Sunday’s 10’ plus here -

See you bright and early,

JB

*******************************
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
