The Texas Gulf Surfing Association (TGSA) is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all participants, volunteers, and spectators at our surfing events. As we continue to grow and enhance our competitions, we are implementing new safety measures to provide a more secure environment at every event. Improved Communication with Lifeguards: We are strengthening our collaboration with local lifeguards by ensuring clear communication prior to each event at all locations. This will allow us to align on safety protocols, ensuring that both TGSA staff and local lifeguards are fully prepared for any situation that may arise. Competitor Release Forms: To further prioritize safety, every competitor is required to sign a release form for the season. We have streamlined this process by integrating it with our LiveHeats registration system. After registering for an event, competitors will automatically receive the release form via LiveHeats. Signed release forms can be submitted at the event or sent via email to surftgsa@gmail.com prior to the competition. Emergency Procedures: In the event of an emergency, TGSA will now utilize a new alert system. A long horn will sound, and a special black flag will be raised, signaling all surfers to immediately exit the water. This system will provide a clear, unmistakable warning, allowing us to manage emergencies efficiently. Event Updates: Prior to every event, we will communicate with competitors via email and social media to provide updates on weather conditions, safety measures, and judging criteria. These updates will ensure that all participants are well-informed and ready for the day’s competition. Incident Reporting: Should any injury or emergency occur during an event, a TGSA official will be present for the duration of the incident. A formal incident report will be completed to document the situation and ensure that proper protocols are followed. These new safety measures are part of TGSA’s ongoing commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for surfers of all ages. We look forward to another successful season and appreciate the continued support of our participants, families, and partners.
