SURF OFFICIALS

Why not become a Surf Offficial?

​

Surf Officials are the key to our successful surf sports events. They are volunteers who enjoy interacting with young and talented athletes in a challenging and fun environment. All our surf sports events, whether at district or national level, are run by the volunteers, for the volunteers and the job of officiating may entail tasks such as:

​

  • setting up the competition arenas;

  • marshalling athletes

  • starting events

  • recording results

  • acting as course referees

​​

To receive your District Surf Official Level 1 accreditation you are required to:

​

  • attend a full day workshop run by SLSNR

  • complete 20 practical hours of officiating over the summer season.

​​

This will then enable you to participate in the officiating of events in various arenas at Surf Sports Events. If you wish to progress to the next level of Officiating and become an arena referee, you will need to attain your Surf Official Level 2 accreditation. This will be discussed in further detail at your Surf Official Level 1 course.
