KSA Judging update.
As KSA will utilise professional judging at all events this year, it may assist competitors when considering what the judges will be looking for.

The following is and extract from the www.aspworldtour.com

The ASP Judging Criteria for 2010 and beyond is as follows.

Surfers must perform to the ASP Judging Key Concepts to maximise their scoring potential.

Judges analyze the following major concepts when scoring waves:
- Commitment and Degree of Difficulty
- Innovative and Progressive Manoeuvres
- Combination of Major Manoeuvres
- Variety of Manoeuvres
- Speed, Power and Flow

It is important to note that the emphasis on certain concepts is contingent upon the location and the conditions on the day, as well as changes of conditions during the day.

Scale Utilized:
0.0 – 1.9 = Poor
2.0 – 3.9 = Fair
4.0 – 5.9 = Average
6.0 – 7.9 = Good
8.0 – 10.0 = Excellent

“The last part of the revised ASP Judging Criteria is crucial,” Hatchett said. “Surfers and fans need to understand that certain aspects of surfing score higher depending on the location and the conditions at that location. For example, the same approach to surfing in classic Trestles conditions will not score the same when applied to classic Pipeline conditions – classic Trestles conditions call for more Innovative and Progressive Manoeuvres whereas classic Pipeline conditions call for more Commitment and Degree of Difficulty.”

Many thanks to WAKA member who provided the updates on judging criteria.

News very soon on the 2010 circuit and confirmation of sponsorship and dates. We are hoping to see more KSA events than ever before in the lead up to the 2011 World Titles.

2009 Circuit Results December 21st.
Kyle Bryant wins the 2009 Kneeboard Surf Australian Pro Title.

Congratulations to Kyle Bryant from NSW, taking out the 2009 KSA Pro circuit. Consistency, and commitment over the 3 circuit contests this year saw Kyle make his way to the top in 2009.

A formal presentation will happen at our first comp in the new year. However, as from next year, KSA has a new computer system that will automatically keep competitors updated on their position in the circuit immediately at the end of the final day of the contest. So, no more waiting for results!

Many thanks to all competitors across Australia who took holidays, re-arranged work, booked accommodation, traveled for hours, knocked out in the first round, paddled out heat after heat, traveled to NZ, slept in cheap hotels, helped out in the tent, laughed, kicked, swore, yelled, danced and generally gave it a go and had fun.

Many thanks also to the KSA executive who all give up their time and talents to run what is the best kneeboard circuit in the world. KSA could not be successful without the commitment and passion from you.

I hope to see you all again, plus many new faces, in 2010. Have a safe and Merry Christmas to you and your families.
