Event guide:

Event Format: The Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge features a unique tow team "expression session" format with delayed video judging. Ten two-surfer teams will participate with the athletes taking turns by their own choice of who will surf and who will drive. (Each surfer must ride at least two waves,) There will be four one-hour heats with five teams per heat, each team will participate in two heats, with a priority system indicating which pair has their preferred choice of an incoming wave at any moment.The event will be broadcast live and captured on video from multiple angles. At the conclusion of the competition a nominating panel will examine the video evidence and select the biggest, best-ridden waves of the day as finalists. At an awards ceremony later in the day the athletes themselves, along with a group of expert judges, will review the nominated rides and place their votes in an assortment of categories including Men's Wave of the Day, Women's Wave of the Day and Team Champions with the winners being crowned at that time.
