hello, if i, and others join this site, and go on to pay for membership. will there be seperate contests for non titled ,non uk surfing champs veterans ,beginers ,etc.Will comps be awarded points on a scale system ,so as you progress and inprove automaticley move up, so as to allow others a charnce. leading to the end of the callender year to find an overall winner with the most points. This works well in the karate world. Allso a beginer is not put in with a euopean champ to get slaughtered. thanks .and good luck.

Alan…..
There is no way you got slaughtered at the comp…. you did great and held your own in with the top guys… so over all more credit to you.
On another note BSUPA’s did not run the last comp but BSUPA is going to work well… only time will tell.
Dude you rocked in the surf….. btw how’s your neck.
