USA SURFING PRIME & JUNIOR TEAM UPDATES
The 2023/2024 Junior team roster was announced August 10. Click here to read the post. The 2023/2024 Prime season events schedule is posted below. Scroll down to read. A MESSAGE ABOUT SURFING UP & TEAM SELECTION Surfing up a division will begin being phased out this season (2023/2024) and will not be allowed next season (2024/2025). If you earned a spot in a division above your own age group last season (2022/2023), you will be permitted to surf up this season if space is available. But please note: Your performance in the upper division this season will not earn a spot to surf up next season, nor will it count toward Junior Team selection. It may only count toward earning a season title in that division and possibly earning a spot in that division at the USA Surfing Championship. Team spots for 2024/2025 will be awarded to surfers within their own age division only. And as always, Travel Team selections will be made with priority given to surfers with birthdays in the actual U16 and U18 age groups. Updated selection criteria will be posted shortly. ALTERNATES IN PRIME EVENTS Each division has a set alternate list from which openings will be awarded before the event. ADDITIONAL ALTERNATES - Additional alternate spots (due to no-shows, etc) are not awarded on a first come first served basis. Surfers wishing to stand by for an alternate spot must check in at the beach marshal tent to put their name on the list. Spots will be filled from the list based on the surfer’s ranking in their main division (one division down from the division they wish to surf up in). Alternate list surfers much check in and be ready to paddle out at the 5-minute mark. If the first alternate is not checked in and ready, the spot will be offered to the next ranked surfer who is ready to go. Alternate spots are $150 and can be paid via cash or Venmo to @usasurfing. |
