The Specialist

Iron racing consists of Swim, Board, and Ski legs. The Specialist tests the Shaw and Partner’s Iron Athletes’ prowess across all these surf sport disciplines, and rewards those who have taken the time to master each one individually. This Round features five races, a soft sand run, a Board race, a Swim race, a Ski race, and finally a Traditional Iron race. Depending how an Iron Athlete performed across the first four races, they will be rewarded with a handicapped start in the last race. Winner of the Iron race takes the round, and the bottom placed four Iron Athletes will be knocked out of the 2024/25 Shaw and Partners Iron Series.

The Female and Male Iron Athletes will alternate between the Races.

All points from the previous Rounds will be reset before Round 3 commences. The top 12 Male and Female Iron Athletes from Round 3 will progress to the Final Round.
