LBHS Cleans Up at Scholastic Surf Series Event #3. Individual Champions Travis Booth, Tess Booth and Jackson Jenkins

The LBHS Surf team members were very strong on Sunday at the Scholastic Surf Series Event #3 and made the Individual Finals in all four Divisions with multiple Winners. Once again with a smaller then normal group, many of the kids available competed successfully in multiple divisions.

Early in the morning In Team competition we were up against J Serra and did very well with most of the team advancing onto the Individuals and we were able to take a big win 63 to 25. The event was held at 9^th st in Huntington Beach and the weather was gorgeous with hot offshore winds. The 2-3 ft surf was clean looking, but very difficult to ride.

Once the Individual competition kicked in The LBHS surfers clearly stood out and were the surfers to beat. In Boys shortboard Travis Booth, Liam McCue and Jackson Jenkins all took wins advancing to the Finals. Once the Finals hit the water Travis continued to shred a number of lefts and rights and was on top of his game taking the overall win. He did double duty and took 3^rd in Bodyboard. Meanwhile Liam had some impressive rides and finished runner up, while Jackson was another surfer to do multiple divisions with huge success, taking the win overall in Longboard and 4^th in in shortboard. Jameson Roller was a standout in several heats in Longboard, but in the end finished 4^th. Tess Booth continued her run competing in both Shortboard and Longboard to take both big Wins. Meanwhile Jade Howson took 2^nd in Longboard and Kelly Smith took 3^rd in Shortboard both putting in some nice rides. Other surfers to do well but not final were Sam Starr and Joseph Schenk.

Thank you to the kids who participated and the Parents, and friends who helped out!
