LBHS Surf Takes Big Win Over Santa Margarita At Scholastic Surf Series Event #2, Top Overall Wins and Finalists Linder, Schenk and Lockhart

We had a big win on Sunday at the Scholastic Surf Series Event at San Clemente Pier. We started out the day with Team competition and Laguna Beach High school was up against Santa Margarita High School. Everyone surfed really well as a team and we took the overall win by a large margin 60-24. Some of the Team surfed in multiple divisions with a lot of success and most of the Team advanced to the individual competition.

The weather was really nice and sunny with light winds all day and the surf was decent to start the day. As the day went on with the tide bottoming out with a negative tide it got really challenging. Despite the conditions our surfers did outstanding. When the day came to a close we had a number of finalists and top. In both the Women’s Shortboard and Longboard Devyn Linder surfing in her first SSS after being sick for a good portion of the fall season came away with the Win in Women’s Shortboard and Longboard. While Mia Moore traded off with some impressive surfing of her own particularly in the early rounds to take 3rd in Shortboard and Longboard. In the Mens Divisions Christian Schenk, surfed really strong all day and ended up with an impressive 1st in Shortboard and also did double duty in Longboard taking a 3rd. Cooper Laws was very stylish all day in the Lonboard, getting some excellent scores including a high 8.5 and finished the day runner up. Meanwhile Tyson Lockhart had a great day, with several top scoring heats and did Double duty as well winning the Bodyboard and taking 3rd in Shortboard. Dane Cameron had a solid day in Shortboard making a number of heats and finished in a count back to take 5th. Meanwhile Tate Warner did double duty getting the job done in both Shortboard and Longboard. Lucas Jablon put in some nice rides in Shortboard as well as Gavin Pike to all help the Team in the Win.

Thanks to all our parent support for coming down and cheering on the team, keeping the team well fed and providing shade with the team tent!
