Northeast Surfing Championship

New England

Hampton Beach New Hampshire hosted the Eastern Surfing Association's Northeast Surfing Championship over the May 12'th weekend. It was the first time in 10 years the town has been chosen as the site of the three-day competition.An estimated 350 surfers from around New England qualified to compete in this year's event, with 30 surfers from the Seacoast invited to attend. The location of the competition is rotated among several cities in the Northeast.

Shortboarders, longboarders and bodyboarders locked horns in a series of timed heats with a set quota of waves competitors were allowed to ride. Each competitor was judged on the tricks they attempted, and points were awarded based on the degree of difficulty and variety of maneuvers. Many found it difficult to even get up onto their boards. Organizers said, although the waves along the span known as "The Wall" at North Beach are usually around a head high, they'd been considerably smaller throughout the weekend.
