What surf event do i enter?

Question

im entering a surf contest and im 14, but i dont know what to enter. my board is 7' 4", so do i enter the Womens Longboard(all ages) or Girls(17 & under)??

Answer 1

I would suggest girls 17 and under. The competition will be more likely in your age/skill level. Women's Longboard may have some wahinis with lots of years in the water, and be an unfair match up for you.

Answer 2

You probably would not be able to compete if you entered long board. There is a minimum length of either 9 feet or 3 feet longer than you are tall, at least if you go by the official rulebook.

Answer 3

yea, girls 17 & under sounds good.

That sounds fun (entering a surfing contest). I think I'll try that soon.

well, good luck on your contest! tell us how it goes  : )

Answer 4

Girls definitely.  I'm not questioning your surfing level and capabilities by no means, but there will be some older girls/women in the womens longboard competition on a higher skill level than you. The girls competition will have girls in their more on your level and the same age. Besides, you'd need a longer board if you wanted to compete in the longboard competition ;p

Answer 5

girls 17 and under

Answer 6

girls, if i were competing this year that's what i would do.

Answer 7

girls 17 and under

longboard comps usually require a length of 9' or longer

If you enjoy the contest and are serious about competing, you will need a shorter board, smaller than 5'10" for your age and size. I suggest you look at what Carrissa Moore is riding.

Answer 8

I would say Girls 17 and under.
