MARCH 25, 26, 27, 2023 – OCEANSIDE SOUTH JETTY
The Scholastic Surf Series a Division of the WSA completed its High School Surfing season with the High School State Championships held at South Jetty Oceanside Harbor. The Championships took place over 3 days of competition with participation from over 40 high schools from San Diego to Half Moon Bay. After weeks and months of rainy weather, the weather cleared up and even some sunshine. Very contestable waves and some windy conditions in the afternoon but everyone was ripping and in the end the event culminated with crowning SSS 2023 State Champions in 5 Divisions and 2 Sections of Team competition.
