Head Judges Notes - Oceanside Harbor, South Jetty - March 15-16, 2025
Looks like the storm will pass and leave us with some decent surf this weekend. The wind will be in the single digit range Saturday/Sunday. The surf should be over head+ and fair shape both days.
Shortboard criteria:
Judging will be focused on the surfers who can find and execute quality combinations. Some heats may have more opportunities than others. We will also be rewarding single MAJOR powerful and progressive maneuvers if performed in the most critical of sections. As always, we are looking for clean execution with, speed, power and good timing/flow between these moments. These will be the comparison points.
Longboard criteria:
The Surfer must perform controlled maneuvers in the critical section of the wave utilizing the entire board and wave using traditional longboard surfing. The surfer who performs this to the highest degree of difficulty with the most style flow, and grace will receive the highest score for a ride.
Key elements for judges to consider: Nose riding in the critical section of the wave, variety of maneuvers, speed and power, control, commitment, control and foot work!
Push-In and Adaptive Divisions criteria - please view page 5 of the WSA Rulebook “Fundamental Surfing"
Please remember for maneuvers to be deemed complete, the surfer must show control and ride out infront of the white wash. Any loss of control will hinder the score of that ride.
See you on the beach!
