The organizers reserve the right to disqualify any equipment, disqualify any person, or change any event for safety reasons.

Surf Etiquette
Please remember to use surf etiquette when surfing in the Santa Cruz area prior to the contest. All surfers, both kayakers and boards do not appreciate guests who break the "rules" in the name of a practice session.
Any contestant who surfs in an aggressive or unsafe way will not be allowed to compete.
Please try to surf less crowded breaks - remember: the ocean belongs to every one. more..
Cost
The cost per expert event is $90, and $65 per intermediate and novice events. The cost reflects an increased surcharge imposed by the city of Santa Cruz.
Refunds
No refunds after March 1st. There will be no refunds due to weather, failure of contestant to arrive, conflicts with other events or contestants who sign-up for categories held at other locations. Categories with less than four (4) contestants will be canceled. Full refund is available if your category is full or cancelled.
