This is primarily a surf foil competition over 4 days that will commence with a teams competition. The top 50 indivudal surf foil scores will move onto an indivudal surf foil competition. To maximise weather conditions, organisers may hold a Downwind race, a tow event or a course race (paddle up or catch a wave then complete a set course).
Surf Foil competition
Teams event - each team will be composed of 6 athletes, one of which has to be over 55yr or under 20yr of age. Teams will be based on geography &/or assigned.
Individual event - The top 30 individual competitor scores will enter into the individual surf foil event.
Foil Assist - Competitors utilising a foil assist will have individual surf foil heats. Foil assit competitors will be required to go around an event marker buoy in between each scored wave.
Surf foil judging will be based on the execution of radical manouvres in the most critical section of the wave with speed, control and flow. Innovative and evolutionary foil surfing with a demonstration of variety will be rewarded. Competitors can pump back out to catch a maximum of three waves, then must come off foil. The first wave caught will be included in the final score. The top 2 wave scores count towards individual score. Pumping is not judged, however, transition onto the wave will be included in the wave score.
Downwind foil competition
All competitors will be required to have a leash, a high visibility vest &/or clothing, a mobile communication device (to enable location sharing) and a PFD vest.
Tow foil event - Depending on conditions, a tow foil event may be considered. Either a timed, course based race or a surf tow foil session.
Course/ Pump event - A flat water course event involving a flat water (or surf assist) paddle up to pump around a course (set markers) that will be timed.
Expression Session - An open slather of surf foil performance judged annonymously by your peers.
There will be an overall winner for the total foil disciplines over the four day competition.
Rules
Must have a leash, No footstraps (excpet in expression session), Helmets are recommended, NO dangerous or close encounters on the water (interference will be ruled and points deducted), all competitors are to comply with insutrctions of water safety personnel, the event manager and head judge decisions are final.
