It’s now official! Maeva Surf is proud to announce that it will be hosting the first international flowboarding competition in Canada May 19th, 2012 on the FlowRider® Double sheet wave attraction. The 2012 FLOW Tour is organized by Wave Loch and sanctioned by FLOW (Flowboarding League Of the World), and they chose Maeva Surf for it’s quality installations and the incredible welcome Quebec gave to the sport of flowboarding.
Competition Format:
Maeva Surf will also be the testing grounds for a new scoring system. Pro categories will be judged in a “jam session, best run” which will push the sport to a new level by allowing each competitor more runs, and being scored on the best one (this format is also found in many skateboard competitions). “Competitors will need to go outside of their comfort zone and augment the difficulty of the tricks performed, which will create an even bigger show” says Patricia Dupuy, co-founder and CEO of Maeva Surf.
