At the MSA Contest (9/7-8), gratefully the surf was PUMPING at Malibu! SCSA surfers advanced into the second round despite very tough competition. Contestants advancing to the semi's at MSA were Molly Jones, Nate Cintas, Team captain Rob Brockman, Steve Bigler and Bob English. Ultimately, Bob English outlasted the Legends semi heat and was awarded 6th in the final.
Our awesome SCSA tandem team, Todd & Wendy performed amazing lifts in head high surf and advanced to the finals finishing 3rd!!
CONGRATULATIONS! To finalists and thank you to all Contest Team members who gave it their best effort surfing for SCSA at both Malibu contests.
