SDA intros San Dieguito Academy Repeats As High School Cup Regional Champs

The National Surf League (NSL) in association with Surfin Fire hosted the NSL High School Cup San Diego Regional at D Street in Encinitas, CA under sunny skies and 2-foot surf.

High School surf teams from La Costa Canyon High, Torrey Pines High, San Dieguito Academy, Carlsbad High and Point Loma High battled for the regional title and a spot in the High School Cup Championship at Upper Trestles.

Game one saw both Carlsbad High and Torrey Pines surf strong throughout the 3-period Game. Torrey Pines opened with an early lead, but couldn’t hold on thanks to inconsistent surf and an Ill-timed substitution call and Carlsbad High advanced to the Final.

Game two saw La Costa Canyon participate for the first time in the Game format against the experienced Point Loma High School. After a shaky low-scoring first period, La Costa Canyon pulled to within striking distance in the bottom of the third period, needing just 3 points to take the win in the dying minutes, but couldn’t close the gap. Point Loma took the win with Josh Morse and Joe Diamond helping to keep the team in the lead throughout the Game.    (more…)

Ocean City Wins High School Cup NJ Regional


After an extended 5-day waiting period to allow for the best possible surf and weather conditions, The NSL High School Cup was greeted with excellent 2-3 foot offshore peaks at 1st street in Ocean City, New Jersey.  

 

Participating High Schools Manasquan, Southern Regional, Middle Township and three-time defending regional champion Ocean City battled in some of the closest Games in NSL history.  

 

Ocean City High School beat Southern Regional High School by just 1.9 points in the closely fought first semi-final, despite an 8.7 score from Southern Regional’s Conner Willem in the bottom of the third period.

 

The second semi-final saw Middle Township High take down Manasquan High in low-scoring nail-bitter with Middle Township winning by just 0.45 points, one of the slimmest margins of victory in NSL history. 

 

This set up a rematch of last year’s regional final between the Middle Township High Panthers and the defending regional champion Ocean City High Red Raiders.  Middle Township won the coin toss and decided to surf in the bottom half of each period, sending Ocean City to the water first in the waist to chest high surf.  Ocean City High alumni and assistant coach Rob Kelly had his team fired up, but the team was only able to drop a 12.7 total period score.
