Judging Information
 Judging results are available by clicking the year on the left-side navigation bar
The role of a judge in a surfing contest is to decide which surfer performs the closest to the judging criteria in any heat. It is essential, therefore, that judges have experience and knowledge to give them confidence to obtain the correct results.
The improvement made in the sport of competitive surfing over the last three years cannot be attributed to improvements in equipment and increased levels of surfer’s performance alone. The increased success of surfing as a competitive sport can also be directly linked to improvements and refinements made to the competitive rules and judging criteria.
Any competitive system is only as good as the people who are charged with the responsibility of determining the outcome of the competition. IE: THE JUDGES. Judges who genuinely wish to improve their capacity to determine between surfers who perform closest to the judging criteria and those who do not, need to be prepared to continually monitor their effectiveness as judges of competitive surfing.
