LBHS SURF TAKES A SECOND BIG WIN OVER ALISO NIGUEL

Bastion Evans cuts back

For the second week in a row The Laguna Beach High School Surf Team had a strong showing against Aliso Niguel in a non-league scrimmage to take another Win. This time the event was held at Salt Creek on Friday. The Laguna surfers took top honors in nearly every heat of the various divisions. The weather was a little cool and gloomy with drizzle and the waves were a little tricky, but The Laguna Surfers were able to do just fine.

In Mens shortboard both Kiko Nelsen and Sam Nelsen were once again standout performers impressing all with their solid surfing to win their heats. Also winning his heat was Joseph Schenk who tore apart a good size set wave and managed a number of really good turns on his backside, finishing off nicely close to the sand. Meanwhile Tai Diggens and Luke Hagopian, also did great to finish with wins, while Holden Geary and youngsters Bastian Evans and Tate Warner all took 2nds with some nice rides of their own. Tate had one of the nicest sets of the day and really looked good.

Our Women surfers continued their roll of top finishes with outstanding surfing once again and double wins from Tess Booth in Shorboard and Longboard followed by Scout Mitchell also competing successfully in both divisions taking 2nd. Jade Howson was looking very stylish and smooth for a 3rdin Longboard while Mia Moore did well for a 4th in shortboard.

Zac Henderson continued to dominate the Longboard field coming in with a Win. We also had a Bodyboard Heat this time around and Dylan Zoller did very well to finish in 2nd.

A big thank you to the families, friends and team mates who showed up to support the Team and Ellen Nelsen for the nice action shots in between her work schedule!
