As per previous year the first stop in 2025 will be the Allan Macintosh Kingscliff Open. This is a very social event with our A Graders coaching our intermediate and beginner surfers. We will be focusing on surfing techniques, heat strategies, eskimo rolling and how to improve your Judging ability on Saturday, with a Sunday being competition day. Its also a great event to socialise with other ski riders and bring a friend to try a ski in a safe environment.
WSA is always looking at how to improve the event for our members. Here are few key points to remember for the 2025 year:• Best of 3 competition results plus the Australian Open will be counted towards the final Australia Championships Tour results• New age Groups – Masters under 55;Grand Masters 55-59; Legends 60-64,Champions 65 and over.• If there is an age division with a final only, it will be the best of 3 rounds if time allows.• All age divisions will be surfed on Fridays, with the focus on A Grade, Qualifiers and Challengers on both Saturday and Sundays• When entering an event online via live heats please enter your age division and Qualifiers/Challengers/ Open based on Gradings published.• All WSA entries and memberships are completed online via live heats.
