SSS LA/Santa Barbara Middle School @ Summers Beach results:
The Scholastic Surf Series a division of the Western Surfing Assoc. (WSA) completed event # 2 of the Los Angeles-Santa Barbara Middle School surf season at Summers Beach in Ventura.
This year has been a challenge. Each event has had a mix of either too much weather or too much surf. This weekend had it all but we managed to push through the challenges and get it done. The event kicked off with the tide dropping and the swell building. The weather was forecasted to dump rain and it was just north of us but we stayed dry till around 9:30am. The surf was a solid over head with clean conditions but not a lot of shape with the low tide. Once the tide came up the surfing really started and the surviving stopped.
Highlights were newcomer Noah Klapp from Malibu taking her first win in Shortboard and Betsey Lee continuing her dominance in the Longboard. In the Boy’s side of things Kelly Brewer silently went about winning both Longboard and Shortboard divisions in a convincing manner. There were a lot of Ohhs and Ahhs as the kids pushed themselves in the trying conditions but in the end everybody had a blast.
