Can someone explain the rules of surfing

Surfers compete in heats. These last approx 30-minutes depending on conditions and each surfer can catch as many waves as possible.

Only a surfers top two highest- scoring waves are combined for their final overall total.

Each time a surfer rides a wave, a five person panel scores it using a scale from 0.1 to 10.0.

The wave score is calculated by discarding the highest and lowest judges scores. The surfer is given an average using the three middle scores.

In the end, the surfers two best scoring waves are added together to gain their heat total. This is out of a possible 20 points, ie, a 10 point ride is a perfect score.

The scoring system is based on five criteria that reflect the core elements of the sport.

1. Commitment and degree of difficulty

2. Innovative and progressive manoeuvres

3. Variety of manoeuvres

4. Combination of major manoeuvres

5. Speed, power, and flow
