With more and more surfers wanting to participate in National Scholastic Surfing Association events, the NSSA continues to broaden it's program for the needs of competitive surfing.

Currently the NSSA operates nationally with eight regional conferences running contests throughout the year.

Q&A:

  • What is the difference between OPEN SEASON and EXPLORER SEASON?
Open Season is the most elite and prestigious division of the NSSA and the NSSA Puerto Rico Conference format. This competitive format uses 4 man 20 minute heats and 25 minute finals. (all heat time formats may be altered subject to the time available for the completion of event). Explorer Season is secondary to the Open Season in prestige and the competitive formats are more flexible as such. All NSSA Puerto Rico Conference members that assist to scheduled trainings, will be grant Explorer Season seeding points for their NSSA East Coast Championship ratings as an incentive to train in our programs (Only in Puerto Rico). The Explorer Season divisions can use 6 man 15 minute format and 20 minute finals. Or Conference Director can choose to run 4 man 15 minute or 20 minute formats if time is available. (all heat time formats may be altered subject to the time available for the completion of the event).
  • How many categories can I register on each event?
You can register on as many categories as you like as long as you comply within the age limitations for each one. 

AGES AS OF THE BIRTHDATE 1/1/24 FOR THE 2023-24 SEASON; ALL COMPETITORS CAN COMPETE UP INTO UPPER AGE BRACKET DIVISIONS.

  • Is my NSSA Puerto Rico Conference Membership transferable to other Conferences?
Yes, you can compete in other Conferences on the East Coast and viceversa.
