The star studded team got off to a quick start and never let up to take top-honors in the overall team division.
In the Boys Shortboard Division, it was Mitchell Aterburn from Aviara Oaks displaying performance surfing at its best, and earning him the 2011 Scholastic Surf Series Boys Shortboard champion title.
Not to be outdone by Mitchell’s performance, Kylie Loveland from Aviara Oaks stepped her game up to claim victory in the Girls Shortboard division.
