“WSA Sanctioned 4A—San Diego,” Pipeline, SURFER, May 1971

Sponsored by the University of California at San Diego Surf Club, this contest featured an attempt at creating some new judging criteria. The original plans had each contestant surfing in three divisions, each division to be judged on a different basis. The divisions were:

1. Trick surfing
2. Progressive surfing
3. Art form (gracefulness and flow)

The contest, being the first attempt of the U.C.S.D. Surf Club to handle a large and complicated competition, was not as smooth and organized as it could have been, and the trick surfing segment was dropped for lack of time.
