Yes that is being done.

The SUP's at Noosa will have 3 x sup surfing divisions in 2017. Men and Women sup surf and the 10ft plus longboard style sup surf.

I have done up a (draft) judging criteria that will be used at Noosa and maybe adopted to all 10"plus events. Happy if anyone has some feed back?

“The 10 foot plus longboard sup surfer must perform controlled traditional manoeuvres with the highest degree of difficulty in the most critical sections of the wave to gain the highest score.

Judges will reward the performance with reference to style and flow, visual appeal, commitment, functional use of the paddle to increase the intensity of the maneuvers, variety of manoeuvres and use of the entire board, speed and power. Nose riding, trimming and footwork will be important elements in the Judges decision-making.”

The words: continual motion, flow, style and grace directly relates to how the surfer reads the wave and performing the manoeuvres that “fit” to the wave.

Stylish and flowing traditional elements will become obvious when the surfer is committing to the entire criteria.

Classic nose rides are usually best when the walk to the nose is set up by a tail stall or directly in from the arc of a turn. Nose rides – touch 5 and 10’s and extended 5’s and 10’s Cheater 5 nose rides.

Cross-stepping, reverse walks, layback cutbacks, cutbacks, drop knee cutbacks, cross step cutback, roundhouse cutbacks, tube rides, cover-ups, re-entries, off the face and lip floaters are all considered to have a high scoring potential in the competition system.

Helicopters, tail 360's, dishpan cutbacks are considered but not highly scored.

The paddle is used in turns as a brace, a pivot, and a force multiplier. A surfer will be scored higher when he uses the paddle in some, or all, of these three ways to achieve sharper or more powerful turns.

Use of the paddle when nose riding will be a critical factor when judging, style, finesse and use of balance will be considered.

Tricks such as twirling or otherwise using the paddle in a non-functional manner will earn no extra score for the surfer

Jonsey, I think the criteria is not bad, just a few suggestions to even it up:

1. There needs to be a weight class for us more generously proportioned lads, and one for whippets like yourself

2. Standing in the middle of the board and just wiggling a bit should score at least an 8 per wave for consistency

3. All heats shall be 20 minutes, broken into 2 x 10 minute halves, with a beer and pizza break in the middle of no longer than 30 minutes

4. If at any time in the heat it appears someone is winning by too larger margin points will be divided up on a % basis on weight difference (this should allow me to win almost every heat)

Yep, that should work :)

Great job on the criteria

Haha... The funniest thing!! We are just locking in a Pizza sponsorship deal for the SUP's and the Beach bar has cold beers 5 meters up the beach.
I say its doable

How good is this beautiful piece of trophy art.
Lovingly made by the highly regarded Michael Jenkins from Victoria for the winner of the 10ft Longboard sup division.
Please check out MJ's website at www.michaeljenkins.com.au/ for some more pretty rad art.
