matt — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 16:43:46 +0000

International Surfing Day is on Monday, June 20!

Here are some local events:

ISD Team Challenge Surfing Contest sponsored by Surfrider San Mateo County
Mobile location: Linda Mar or Montara or Dunes
6 TEAMS 4 SURFERS 1 HOUR… 0 ENTRY FEE

To celebrate International Surfing Day (ISD), the Surfrider Foundation in San Mateo County will be hosting a team surfing competition.

HOW IT WORKS
At the start of the 1 hour heat, each of the six teams send out one competitor. Once a competitor catches a wave they must come in and switch out with the next member of his team. This process continues throughout the duration of the heat. There is no time limit per competitor and they may wait as long as they like for the right wave.

SCORING
Your team score is the combination of each team member’s top scoring wave during the heat.

WHO CAN BE ON MY TEAM
All ages, genders and skill levels are welcome on each 4 person team.

To enter or to get more information, including volunteer opportunites, use this online entry form.
