That was great watching the Tech race I had never seen one before and would be a lot of fun to watch live I reckon, made me feel better about my own paddling too watching these guys fall off. I always feel bad about falling off and that my skills are lacking if I do but if those guys fall too all is good in the universe.
Very tough conditions to paddle in that's for sure, I would have had trouble getting past the shore break!!
well done to all those ladies, tough race but the condition is perfect and not too heavy and not too lite.
Casso, I'm keen to learn the judging criteria for SUP comps. Are they based on (or similar to) WSL criteria? ie,
1. Commitment and degree of difficulty
2. Innovative and progressive manouvres
3. Combination of major manouvres
4. Variety of manouevres
5. Speed, power and flow
Judging scale:
[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]
Or, do SUP comps have a different criteria?
cheers cob

Basically same, but need to use the 'paddle as a force multiplier'
Cheers CB - that was the other question I was thinkin' - to what extent do we account for the paddle (or not).
