Hi fellow mal riders,

Just a quick note on the handicap system. Think about it like a golf handicap. Ok, here are a couple of examples for you:

Golfer 1 - 2 handicap
Golfer 2 - 12 handicap

Game 1 - They both shoot a round of 90, who wins, no brainer right.
Game 2 - Golfer 1 shoots 80 and Golfer 2 shoots 89, 80-2=78 and 89-12=77, Golfer 2 wins.
Game 3 - Golfer 1 shoots 83 and Golfer 2 shoots 95, 83-2=81 and 95-12= 83, Golfer 1 wins.
 
The idea of the handicap system is that it gives all golfers, no matter what their handicap, a chance to win. It's the same with the surfing handicap. If you've got a good handicap (like +1.2) and surf your boardies off you will do well on handicap. On the other hand if you don't surf up to your handicap level then you'll have a sad day (results wise that is, we all get a blast when we surf, right)
 
Moral of the story is, no matter what your handicap is, if you surf better than your handicap indicates, you'll be up there with the grinners.

See you in the surf,
