What should officials wear at a surf carnival?

The normal dress for officials is navy blue shorts, pants or skirt with a white shirt, or clothing specific to that competition.

• Protective clothing may be worn in inclement weather.
• White or blue caps or hats for maximum sun protection are strongly recommended but not mandatory. Officials are also strongly encouraged to use suitable apparel, eye protection, footwear and sunblock.
• The SLSA authority running the competition may require or provide coloured garments or other apparel to identify specific officials.
• With prior approval of that authority, the Organising Committee may provide sponsor-identified apparel for officials to wear.
• Officials should not wear club-identifying clothing at inter-club competition, or branch or state clothing at inter-branch or inter-state competition.
• Certain judges may be permitted to wear costumes, wetsuits or similar garments in their duties.
