SPSC 10 Foot Plus Comp April 2023

3rd SPSC Ten Foot Plus comp for 2022-23 season.

Palm Beach (with alternate locations available in case of weather),
Sunday 16 April
Starting 7am, first heat scheduled to hit the water at 7:30 

UPDATE APRIL 14*****

Sunday looks to be bringing some relief from the rain, with a little cloud early that should clear during the morning. Nice temps back in the 20’s with a light Northerly breeze becoming moderate towards midday as it swings west. 

Lots of swell on offer with good period in 3 swells, mainly from an East direction which is superb for Palmy. An early morning high and midday low tide should have the conditions progressing throughout the day suiting the 10’+ to a tee. 

Expect a 1-1.5m swell bring consistent chest high waves with the odd set. 

I’d imagine North Palm Beach will be the best location, but awaiting to see how today’s southerly continuation affects the banks. Down by 2 rocks possibility if it is a bit straight as the East swell will be getting into the entire beach. 

Super important to register NOW! 10’+ is all pre-assigned heats over 2 rounds, and requires participants registrations ASAP.

A great looking day ahead on Sunday.

And our standard Ten Foot Plus comp details:

• There is no heat progression, every surfer will ride twice earning points for a final position at the end of the 3 events.
• All competitors are expected to remain at the event site for the entire duration of the heats as judging is pre-allocated so everyone gets a turn to judge a heat.
• Heats will be 15 minutes long and run back to back, which means 3 hours total run time.
• All competitors are expected to wear leg ropes and allocated coloured rash vests.
• Boards must be over 10’ in length.
• Rides will be judged on style, length of ride, positioning, wave selection, difficulty of ride/maneuvers and all round performance. Points will be allocated in reflection to the intensity and difficulty of the moves performed.
• All competitors are expected to be at the marshalling tent around 7am, for a 7:20am riders briefing and 7:30am potential start. Given smooth running of heats this will have things wrapped up by noon.
• All general surfing rules, common sense and good sportspersonship are expected at all times.

It is going to be an awesome year.....yewwwww
