School of Surf Season Two on MTV2
School of Surf – Season Two debuts Monday, December 7th at 9am on MTV2. The six-part series follows two high school surf teams as they compete and travel to the Red Bull Riders Cup National Championship. One is from Malibu High School, situated in a classic California surf town with perfect waves, sunshine year ’round, and a vibrant surf scene. The other is from the OC of the East – Ocean City, New Jersey, with its freezing winters, crowded summers and unpredictable waves. The two towns couldn’t be any more different. But the thing the two teams share is the dream of becoming pro surfers and balancing their lives with an obsession with waves. But this isn’t another reality show, this is real life.
The six episode series airs every Monday at 9am on MTV2. Set your DVR (or VCR), call in sick, or skip 1st period but don't miss it!

High school was an awkward time. I hoped I'd outgrown it, but then I went to the beach this weekend and realized that I'm more of an insecure, self-conscious kook than ever. With the Red Bull Riders Cup National Championships descending upon Trestles this weekend—my regular haunt—high school surf teams from around the country poured onto the sand, set up their little cliques, paddled out, and sadly, most every kid surfed better than me—with the exception of the one girl who pearled after every top turn, I reckon I'd barely beat her out.
Why the self-loathing you ask? Well, for one, it's that the level of a lot of high school-aged surfers never ceases to amaze me. READ MORE…
