Judging Criteria in Shortboarding:
Surfers must perform according to the ISA judging key elements to maximize their scoring potential. Judges analyze the following major elements when scoring a ride:

• Commitment and degree of difficulty

• Innovative and progressive maneuvers

• Combination of major maneuvers

• Variety of maneuvers

• Speed, power, and flow

Note: The emphasis on certain elements depends on the location and the conditions on the day, as well as any changes in conditions throughout the day.

Scoring Scale:

• 0.1 – 1.9 = Poor

• 2.0 – 3.9 = Fair

• 4.0 – 5.9 = Average

• 6.0 – 7.9 = Good

• 8.0 – 10.0 = Excellent

Please read and understand the Interference Rules and Priority in a Non-Priority surf contest.
Interference in or out of the water results in disqualification.

DO NOT SURF AFTER YOUR HEAT HAS FINISHED – this will result in disqualification.
