THE COURSE: The course will comprise of 4 obstacles and a section for wake tricks with 2 turning bouys at each end. (See Course Layout)

Riders will be judged based on Composition (40%), Obstacles (30%), Air Tricks (30%). There are no restrictions to the number of tricks performed, however, certain trick restrictions may apply for each category.
