Each division consists of a tag team of 4 surfers. Flagler's top two scorers from the most recent competition automatically are given the first two spots on the team for the next contest. The other 2 spots are filled by having a surf off (if more than 2 surfers want to fill those spots). 2 alternates will also be named to the team. You must be a member of the club to join the team. The Club pays for Florida Board Riders contest entry fees.
