The contest schedule is always subject to change.  We are going back to running age divisions on Saturday and Open Heats on Sunday if possible.

All of the local SSC Contests are held at the Washout on Folly Beach & start at 8:00 am. You must check in with the Beach Marshall at his station one half hour before the start of your heat.

We do not serve bottled water anymore, due to added waste & in support of Surfrider's anti-plastic campaign.

We will have coolers of water and cups or you may bring your own water bottle. Thanks!

First division is $20.00 and each additional division is $5.00. Please make checks payable to SSC-ESA.

The contest deadline is surf shop closing time on the Sunday before the contest (one week before!)
We pick up the shop entries on the Tuesday afternoon before the contest weekend. You must bring it to us after that, we only make one trip! 

Beach entries accepted on a space available basis with late fees. "No cash No splash" sez Bill Jones.

Late fees: $5.00 for the first event- $1.00 for each additional event.
