For anyone entering next weekend's Board Meeting Charity Comp at Kawana, the judging criteria will mostly be as follows:


The comp is a teams event.

2 members per team. 4 competitors in each 'heat'. Each wave will be scored out of 20.

Scores will be the best 3 scores per competitor and 2 teams with highest aggregate team scores will proceed to the next round.

While this event will be held in the waves adjacent to the surf comp, it has been decided that a mixture of freestyle and wave-riding skills will be judged.

Points will be awarded for wave selection, longest rides, surfing maneuvers, freestyle tricks, boosting, board-offs and other gay tricks. Nudity will be penalised
but fancy costumes will receive bonus points.

Tricks must be performed while on a wave and will only be scored if landed on the same wave. Priority rules will apply and drop-ins will incur a fine of 1 carton of beer per infringement.

Basically it will be judges perception of what is kitesurfing skills and what the crowd wants to see.

Choice of equipment (twintip, surfboard, foil, flysurfer, other) and the manner in which it is used (unhooked, hooked, strapped, other) will have no influence on the judges score.

So basically it is a 'have some fun in the waves' event with all proceeds going to charity.

Hopefully the above is clear enough (4 glasses of goon in my gut)
