The ESA will then issue any refund due to an official withdrawal or non-slotted competitor within 30 days from end of the 2018 Eastern Surfing Championships®. Refund of any entry fees does not cover the Surf signup convenience fee if you enter online. Any competitor wishing to withdraw must do so by email to receive a refund.

To Withdraw – You must notify [email protected] by email. (Email must be time stamped by September 4, 2019 at 11:59PM). You must also notify your District Director by phone, cell phone or email so they can verify your withdrawal at the Official Slot Meeting.
Refunds for Slotted Surfers: The ESA will issue a full refund to any slotted surfer who officially withdraws by September 4, 2019 11:59PM, 10 days or more prior to the start of the event. Any withdrawals after that date will forfeit their entry fee, except in the case of a medical emergency, which will receive a full refund up until 9:00AM the day before the event (with proper documentation and approval of the Contest Director only). Any withdrawals after this time will result in forfeiture of all entry fees regardless of the circumstances involved.
Refunds for Alternates: Alternates who are slotted less than 10 days before the event or have yet to receive a slot and wish to withdraw must do so before 9:00AM the day before the event to receive a full refund. The ESA will also issue a full refund to any alternate who does not receive a slot into the event.
