TANDEM

The tandem event will be a professional tandem contest starting on Friday August 12,
 2011. Tandem will not be entered into team points this year.

BOARDS/HEATS

Board size is 9 feet. The only exception is Menehune's and women which will be 9 feet
or 3 feet over competitor’s head. Boards will be measured. Heats consist of 6
competitors for a total of 15 minutes. Top 2 waves will be tabulated. Finals consist of 6
competitors for a total of 20 minutes. Top 3 waves will be tabulated in final event.

JUDGING

All divisions will be judged using Ride Quality Recorder (RQR) rules. (See Contest Rules
and Regulations). There will be 3-5 judges and a Head judge. Carolyn Krammer will be
tabulating the judge’s scores. The “Team Captain” is the only person allowed to
protest a heat in the Coalition Event.

CONTEST RULES AND REGULATIONS

SUGGESTED GUIDELINES OF THE COALITION OF SURF CLUBS

Heats will be 15 minutes, Final heats will be 20 minutes.

Each heat will begin and end with one horn blast and display of a green flag. A five-
minute warning will be given with two horn blasts. At the conclusion of the heat,
competitors will immediately return to the beach as the next heat begins. If a
competitor stands up before the beginning of the heat it will result in the loss of the
points scored for the highest scoring wave for the competitor in that heat. Exiting
competitors must not stand up after the conclusion of their heat. Violation of this will
result in a deduction of the lowest scoring wave of the competitor’s heat total.
In all water starts, competitors may enter the water at the five-minute warning (two horn
blasts). Competitors waiting for their heat to start must stay clear of the heat in
progress. Failure to do so will result in a paddling interference, with a loss of the
lowest scoring wave in the competitor’s wave total.
Surfboards must be a minimum of 9 feet in length. Women and juniors may use boards
which are 3 feet longer than the height of the contestant. No paddling gloves. Cords
are optional. The Contestant assumes responsibility for not using a leash.
Maximum wave count and number of scoring waves will be set depending on the surf
conditions of the contest. The surfer will be advised of the maximum total of waves
they may catch prior to the commencement of the heat. Upon reaching the
maximum wave totals, competitors will exit the water.
6. Interference:
A. The first rider up, closest to the curl, has wave possession. In the event that two
riders stand up at the same time, the rider closest to the curl has possession.
(Standard point break rule).

B. In the event that two riders stand up on an unbroken wave, the first competitor up
has possession. (Standard reef or beach break rule). The other rider may take
off in the opposite direction. To have possession of a wave, the rider must be on
his feet in front of or in the curl after the first turn. Any action which impedes a
contestant riding or taking off on a wave by dropping in, taking off, or paddling in
 front of the rider in possession will result in an interference called (Loss of
highest scoring wave in that heat). In cases where a rider is in front of another
unknowingly or so appears to judges and if the rider exits with no impedance, no
interference shall be called. (No harm, no foul).

Snake rule: Paddling in front, around, or behind a competitor to impede and take wave
possession is known as snaking. This interference results in a loss of the highest
scoring wave in the competitor’s heat.

Judging will be on a 20 point system only. The five judges on the stand drop high and
low scores and use the rest. Competitors will be judged on style, wave selection,
length of ride and controlled functional maneuvers. Shuffling and hopping back and
forth on the surfboard will be considered poor style and will not be scored as high as
walking.

Protests must be filed in writing and placed in a protest box or tin within 30
minutes of the conclusion of the heat in question. You must speak with a
contest director or the head judge only.

All contestants must check-in a half-hour before their heat to sign a waiver.
Judges must check-in thirty minutes before the commencement of the contest.
Judges may not surf in the contest unless otherwise agreed upon by the head judge
and contest directors.

TRADESHOW / DINNER

A trade show will be in the band shell area on the south side of the pier where vendors
offer their wares through the weekend. Pizza Port will host a beer/wine garden and
there will be entertainment at the band shell throughout the event. We will be
conducting product and surfboard raffles as well as a silent auction of surfboards.

Immediately following the last heat on Saturday, the “Varua Tahiti e” Polynesian dancers
will perform. Hunter Steakhouse will serve dinner in the band shell area when the
performance has concluded.
