Irish Surfing has launched a crowdfunding campaign to purchase a live scoring system for competitive events.

The national governing body for surfing in Ireland is already nearly a third of the way towards the €6,000 goal for the priority display system.

Junior and senior competitors, spectators and race officials alike would benefit from this effort to professionalise its delivery of events, Irish Surfing says.

All funds raised will be administered through Irish Surfing’s Sligo base with a view to purchasing and training staff with using the system over the coming months.
