IBA Judging Course

A wicked opportunity has come up where you can have the chance to get IBA certified through the worlds best bodyboarding Head Judge, Craig Hadden.  He is coming here from Australia to head judge the Human NZ Arato Pro event and will be running a course if there are enough people interested.

Benefits of doing the course are:

• You will learn about the actual IBA (international bodyboarding association) judging criteria which will help your competition surfing
• You will be added to the IBA judging register
• You could be selected as an international judge at other competitions
• If you are overseas and a competition is on you could offer your services as a qualified IBA Judge and you could get paid to do this
  
• By becoming certified you are assisting in the improvement of NZ competitors (the more IBA judges there are in a country, the better the standard of riding becomes)
• You could be selected as the judge to travel with the NZ bodyboarding team representing at the Australasian Nationals
• You will help to increase the number of qualfied IBA judges in NZ
  

THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR A LONG TIME!!  So don't let the opportunity pass you by.  The last course was held two years ago so take up this chance now. 

Please email Kevin at bbsnz@xtra.co.nz and let him know if you re interested.  If there aren't enough people then it probably won't happen.

Take action now if you're interested and email Kevin.

Cheers all!
