LBHS SURF HAS GREAT SHOWING AT INDIVIDUAL LEAGUE FINALS WITH FINALISTS IN EACH DIVISION
The Individual High School League surfing Finals were held at Upper Trestles Tuesday and the Laguna Beach High School Surf Team did outstanding being represented in every Division Final. The event showcased the top kids from Laguna Beach, San Clemente and Dana Hills going for individual honors.
The weather in the morning was quite chilly and when not in the water everyone was bundled up. The surf was pretty fun with some groomed 3ft rights and lefts to be had and there was certainly some outstanding surfing performances put in many of the Laguna kids and others.
The Laguna Women shined as they have all year. New to the event this year was Lilie Kulber who looked super impressive finishing off a beautiful ride with a solid gouge to score an 8.5 out of 10 in the Final. The only thing keeping her from the overall win was an interference, which put her into 2nd in the Shortboard. Tess Booth surfed great too, successfully making both the Shortboard and Longboard Final. While she got a bit skunked in the Shortboard Final finishing in 6th, The Longboard Final went really well scoring several good stylish rides and finishing in 2nd overall.
In Mens Shortboard Kiko Nelsen was on fire throughout the event. In his stacked Semi-Final heat he scored several excellent waves, looking unstoppable and took a trip straight to the Final where he finished 4th overall. Meanwhile Sam Nelsen was also ripping and was a little unlucky just missing out in the same stacked Semi-Final that included his brother and also three of the San Clemente Surfers, one of which was the eventual event winner. In Longboard Zac Henderson did really well, making some nice nose rides and fancy footwork to finish in 5th overall.
Thank you to the all the parents who came down to support and Steve Schenk and Robyn Sherain for contributing some photos.
