The past race we put on was the WPA Hawaii National Race for which the top 20% in each board division qualify for the World Championships. You can also qualify for a Regional Championships by finishing in the top 50% of each board or age di…vision. Anyone can enter the a Regional Championships but only the qualifiers earn more points in a Regional Championship. Wet Feet will put on a Hawaii Regional Championship on September 16, 2012, stay tuned for details. Rankings are kept until the Regional Championships at which time they are dropped for non-WPA members so you have until then to become a member if you want your ranking points for the year kept.
