Surfing contests involve riders competing one-on-one or in small groups, with a certain amount of time to find and catch waves to demonstrate their surfing ability. Competitors are judged according to how competently the wave is ridden, including the level of difficulty, as well as frequency of maneuvers. Professional surfers compete on the world surfing championship held annually at surf breaks around the world. * Stubbies * Bells * Billabong Pro * Pipe Masters * Red Bull Big Wave Africa * Surfabout * Surfest
