It is school s responsibility to ensure all students meet this minimum requirement. Divisions and Disciplines: Please remember this is a surfing event and not a learn to surf opportunity.

If numbers allow extra teams will be accepted, but schools must contact prior to this being approved. We remind teachers that regional competitions are limited to teams per school per division, given the tight timeframes needed to complete the events in just one day.

An event heat draw and format will be distributed to schools prior to their day of competition.

It is important that schools are confident of student s abilities prior to nominating them. has risk management plans and public liability insurance available for those that require it. Conditions / Locations: will hold all Metro events at Trigg Beach, although if conditions look too wild other backup locations include Leighton Beach and Mullaloo Beach. School and teachers will be advised as early as possible of any likely location change. Regional events will be scheduled to run at the best location given the forecast prior to the events beginning. Student Judges: All schools will be asked to provide students to judge throughout the day. There will be a head judge and a judge to help students on the day. These judges will brief the students on how to score as they come on the panel. All students receive a competitor s pack for assisting. Over the years we ve found the best way to manage this is to get the Junior competitors to judge the Senior competitors and vice versa. Standard Judging Criteria: A surfer must perform committed radical maneuvers in the most critical section of a wave with speed, power and flow to maximize scoring potential. Innovative and progressive surfing as well as variety of repertoire (maneuvers) will be taken into consideration when rewarding points for waves ridden. The surfer who executes the criteria with the maximum degree of difficulty and commitment on the waves shall be rewarded with the higher scores.

The winning surfing teams from the State Finals will then go onto represent WA at the Australian Junior Surfing Titles.
