About:

As a world-first and world-class facility we are absolutely over the moon to be – once again – breaking new ground for the sport of surfing. We are properly delighted to announce that top national surf event – the UK Pro Surf Tour – has added Surf Snowdonia as a key date on its ongoing 2016 tour.

Event guide:

The competition will have a knockout format with three divisions: Open, Women’s and U18s. In the Open division, 20 surfers will each will ride three waves. The top eight surfers with the highest individual wave score will progress to a ‘man-on-man’ knockout stage. Surfers will compete in order of the lowest seed first. The Women and U18s divisions will follow the same format, though with fewer entries per division only the top four surfers will progress through to the knockout stage. In the knockout stage (quarter and semi-finals) surfers will go head to head, one exchange at a time. The winner of each exchange will win the point, the first surfer who makes it to 3 points will progress through to next round.
