Competitor Information


Information for all competitors - The Sorted Surf Contest/Festival will be run under the usual guidelines and rules outlined by the British Surfing Association. Any competitor found to be intoxicated will be refused entry into the competition and no refund will be given.

Judging - Will take the usual criteria i.e. ´a surfer performing the most radical maneuvers in the most critical part of the wave´ will receive the highest scoring potential; this is the case for all categories.

Check-in time - for all competitors will be at 0730 on Saturday morning located at Sorted Surf School on the East side of Boscombe Pier on the promenade. Sunday Check-in will be at 0830.
We aim to have the first heats in the water by 0800 Saturday and to complete all the round one heats and the quarter finals on day one. Sunday´s first heat will start at 0900 for completion of the semis and the final by approximately 15.30

Categories - Mens Open, Mens over 35´s, Ladies open, Junior U18, and BodyBoard Open
All categories may have up to 32 entrants. Beach entries may be accepted on the day if space is available.

Heats - will consist of 4 competitors with a running time of 20 minutes per heat.
Round 1 will consist of 8 heats, then 4 heats for the quarter finals, 2 heats for the semi finals and 1 heat for the final.
Surfers may catch up to a maximum of 12 waves per heat, at the end of each heat it shall be your top 2 wave scores that decides your position, the 2 highest scoring surfers progressing to the next heat. In the event of a tie between 2 persons it will go to their 3rd wave score or even their 4th wave score and so on if necessary.

All surfers must have BSA insurance or a full membership to Wessex Surf Club. You may be required to prove your insurance on the day.

Prizes will be presented on the Sunday afternoon at Sorted Surf School after all finals are finished.

There will be a Party at Urban Beach on the Saturday Night for all, organised by Sorted Surf Shop & Monster Energy Drink.
