LBHS Outstanding Win Over St. Margaret’s at Scholastic Surf Series Event #5. Individual Champions Kiko Nelsen and Cameron Taylor

We had another big win on Sunday at the final Scholastic Surf Series Event of the season at the Southside of Huntington Beach pier. We started out the day with Team competition and Laguna Beach High school was up against St. Margaret’s. Everyone surfed really well as a team and we took the overall win 53-31.

It was a total team effort with several of our surfers jumping into surf multiple divisions. Our two women surfed in Shortboard and Longboard with great success. During the team portion Kayla Coscino scored a perfect 10 out of 10 in shortboard on a long right that she ripped from start to finish. She also did really well with big scores in Longboard as well, but wasn’t able to stay around for the Individual competition. Freshman Cameron Taylor took over representing the women of Laguna and putting in a super effort. She Won the Shortboard and took 4thin the Longboard.

In the Mens Shortboard and Longboard Kiko Nelsen and Christian Schenk both did double duty scoring lot’s of team points with Kiko competing very successfully going on to the Finals in both divisions in the individuals. Kiko ended up stealing the show in Shortboard with the overall Win and took a 3rd in the Longboard.

Others surfers to do really well throughout the day were Tyson Lockhart taking a 3rdand Liam McCue taking a 4thboth in the Shortboard Final. Dylan Zoller did nicely in the Bodyboard and took 3rdoverall. Meanwhile Gavin Campbell also performed well as did Holden Geary and Cooper Laws who all helped with the team score points to win.

The weather was finally hot and sunny with really fun surf that stayed glassy all day. It was a great way to finish off the Scholastic Surf Series.

Thanks to all our awesome parent support with food and cheer and to Ellen Nelsen for her continued great action shots.
