Epic morning!! A big thanks to PT and all the SunShine Coast SUP crew.
PS Had an interesting conversation with the president "PT"...... He informed me that my longboard moves would not be counted and are frowned upon????
What do you think, should nose rides, cross step turns and soul arches be in sup surfing??????????????????

I don't think they should be scored as highly as some moves like a solid switch paddle round house (which should be the highest scoring move for sups/second to getting kegged IMO). But they should definatly have heaps of weighting as they add to style and flow.
Nose riding where others would only tick tack along in a poo stance should definatly increase your score by a significant amount!

STAND UP PADDLE [SUP] SURFING RULES:
Introduction:
SUP surfing is unique and can be done many ways but, for competition it is important to set the
criteria and scoring guidelines that will set the SUP discipline apart from established longboarding.
When the discipline of SUP surfing began it was common to see longboarders catching the wave
using the paddle, then not using the paddle in any practical way to enhance their performance. Often
the paddle was just ?held?.
The paddle is a tool and a big part of the sport therefore it is not just used to help catch a wave, but is
necessary as a functional tool ?aid? for riding the waves.
Techniques and the use of the paddle allows large SUP boards to be turned with high rates of speed
and power, stand-up paddle surfing is deemed to be, at the competition level, a high performancecantered
discipline of surfing.
SUP Judging Criteria:
A surfer must perform radical controlled manoeuvres, using the paddle as a key tool, in the critical
sections of a wave with speed, power and flow to maximize scoring potential. Innovative / progressive
surfing as well as variety of repertoire [manoeuvres], and the functional use of the paddle to increase
the intensity of the manoeuvres, will all be taken into account when awarding points for SUP surfing.
The SUP surfer who executes these criteria with the maximum degree of difficulty and commitment on
the waves will be rewarded with the higher scores.
SUP Scoring Guidelines
1. The judging scale will be the normal 10 point scale with normal ISA/SA contest rules applying.
2. The aggregate of the best 2 rides will decide the final score for each surfer and interferences
will be adjudicated according to the ISA/SA Surfing Rulebook.
3. The surfer must have forward momentum under the wave generated power to be deemed a
scoring ride.
4. To the best of a riders? ability he/she is expected to stand up on the board at all times
throughout the heat, unless the situation of safety dictates otherwise. How-ever this will not
have a bearing on any of the scoring.
5. Entry into the wave should be by paddling in the standing position to enable the maximum
score.
6. Footwork, nose riding and flow points will be scored, but this will be done in their relationship
to the criteria and degree of difficulty and critical nature of board positioning.
7. In some cases, and specialty events beach starts can be used as an alternative method to
start a heat, under the consultation of the Contest Director and Head judge.
8. 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 on the inside rail or the outside rail will have no
difference on the degree of difficulty of the manoeuvre.
9. Tricks such as twirling or otherwise using the paddle in a non-functional manner will earn no
extra score for the surfer.
