There will be a total of five criteria, including professional surfers’ competition, free competition open for everyone, longboard competition, stand-up paddle racing and an under-13 juniors’ competition.
Winners will receive as much as 1 million won ($870) in prize money.
The city government hoped the event would help boost its image as a marine leisure sports town and accordingly hike local tourism.
