Standing a chance in the sj ESA competitions

What constitutes a "trick" in a contest? If I wave my arms up and down couldn't that be considered a "trick"? If I do a no-look pump, isn't that also a "trick"?

 

Notorious Bee Eye Gee and 2 Pack taught me everything I know

 

Gonna have to check that book out. I'm going to try to compete in a contest in town next spring. I don't have high expectations, just a bucket list thing. Hell, I may like it and try to do more.

Good point on pushing yourself, improving skills, and learning how contests work. Honestly, I'm pretty much clueless about the rules of competition so this should be interesting.

I'll be sure to post and brag about my 37th place finish out of 30 competitors next spring.

 

I would definately not say that surfing has gotten stale, I just want to do have something to work towards. I surf because I love it, but I think it helps sometimes to have goals.

 

6'3" at 14? You should pick up a basketball when you're not surfing. I was about your size at that age and grew to be a pretty big dude. Basketball paid for my college education. At your age, try everything man. It's a great big world out there.
