MARCH 22-23, 2014 – Zuma Beach
The Scholastic Surf Series a division of the Western Surfing Assoc. (WSA) completed event # 5 of the Los Angeles-Santa Barbara Middle School Division surf season at Zuma Beach. The surf wasn’t great but it was contestable all weekend with 2-3′ waves and happy competitors paddling for every wave.
It’s not always the kid that wins that has the most fun. Although it is pretty fun to win… This weekend there were smiles everywhere I looked and here are a few names that stood out. Betsey Lee winning the girls longboard, Joshua Rutz taking 5th in Boys Shortboard as well as Sam Reichel winning the Boys Shortboard, and I can’t forget Emma Higgins doing her best yet finishing in 2nd in Girls Shortboard.
Thank you to all our sponsors for your support as the kids get a chance to learn to compete in a great organization.
