There are tons most countries have local boardriders clubs where anyone can join, and then there are regional and state comps which novices enter and groms. And eventually you work your way up the ladder and once you start competing in higher noticed events selectors will notice your a good surfer then you will get sponsored, and the next big step is the World Qualifying Series(WQS) which is a great achievement and if you do well in that you will make it to the World Circuit Tour(WCT) which is the comp that Kelly Slater, Andy Irons, and Mick Fanning are in..Hope that helped :)
