Before you can participate in our contests, you will need to register as a member for our parent organization (Eastern Surfing Organization). The page provides links and forms for you to fill out and send in to the appropriate party. Once you become a member, you can signup for which contests you want to participate in as well as the divisions you want to surf in.

Like any competition, our contests rely on rules to make it a fun, competitive environment. Visit the page to review what the ESA rules cover.

At CNC, we usually have 6 contests scheduled for each season. The Schedule page will show the dates, alternate dates, location, directions to the contest’s location, and a link to register for that contest.

Other events may be scheduled outside CNC’s locally-run contests. They may be sponsored by CNC or organized by another surfing organization such as Buddy Pelletier Surfing Foundation. Many may offer cash prize and a chance to achieve professional surfer status.

At the end of each surfing contest, points are calculated and put into a spreadsheet. Surfer contestants can review this document to see how much points they have accumulated and their standing in each division.
