SISA Circuit
How does it work?
The SISA Circuit is for old and young groms alike. The circuit is made up of 5 competitions. The competitions have divisions that count for overall points (Grandmasters O45 – U16). Surfers not only compete for their overall South Island ranking but also their ranking within their club.
SISA-sanctioned events are hosted by local clubs. SISA supports these competitions with funding, judging, equipment and people power. This enables our surfers to gain experience in a variety of environments and conditions, and build relationships with other surfers and surf whānau from all over Te Waipounamu.

Grom Series
The Connect Group Grom Series is a four-competition circuit covering Dunedin, Westport, Christchurch and Kaikōura. Groms (boys and girls) surf in age-group divisions from U14 – U18.
Surfers gain points depending on their placing in each competition. The best 3 out of 4 finishes count towards their overall South Island standing. The Christchurch and Kaikōura competitions are also Surfing New Zealand rated competitions. The Grom Series is a SISA-run initiative and a recognised pathway to national recognition for young surfers.
