ISA Judging E-Learning Course (Introduction to Judging: The ISA Judging E-Learning Course, is a prerequisite for participation in a judging certification course. This course is available to anyone with an interest in competitive surfing and covers the basics of judging, scoring criteria, and rules.

It is an online course, but we will offer it in a group setting with PSOI/ASC judges on site to help explain and answer questions from the participants.
ISA Judging and Officiating Course: This course is delivered by ISA Course Presenter Arya Subyakto, who is an expert in surf judging with many years of experience. The course is designed to dive deeper into judging principles and theory. You will practice comparing waves and throwing scores to prepare you to sit on a judging panel.
