SBSSA Team Challenge High School Surf Contest

photo gallery by Lia Coffey Unlike traditional high school sports like baseball, basketball, and football, competition surfing is an individual sport.

Competitors’ places are taken from their best two waves from a ten wave maximum. The results of the heat are tallied up for the overall score of the team. Abou
