SANTA CRUZ SCHOLASTIC SURF LEAGUE

About

Welcome to the Santa Cruz Scholastic Surf League - SCSSL! Our league is dedicated to serving the vibrant community of middle and high school surfers along the picturesque coastline from Santa Cruz to Marin. At the SCSSL, we are passionate about providing exceptional surf contests that not only showcase the talent of our participants but also foster a sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship.

Our surf contests feature a unique blend of both team and individual formats, allowing surfers to compete as part of a team while also showcasing their individual skills. We offer competitive divisions for boys and girls in both Shortboard and Longboard disciplines, recognizing and celebrating the diverse talents that make up our surfing community.

Throughout the season, we organize a series of five exciting events, carefully designed to test the mettle of our participants and create a thrilling atmosphere for spectators. These events culminate in the highly anticipated school team and individual championship, where the best surfers rise to the top and earn well-deserved recognition for their accomplishments.

At the SCSSL, we understand that not all schools have surf teams or that some surfers may be homeschooled. That's why we embrace inclusivity by allowing homeschoolers and students from schools without surf teams to join the school team closest to their district, enabling them to participate fully in the league and experience the joy of competitive surfing.

As an organization, we are unwavering in our commitment to providing a fun and enriching surfing experience for all participants. We believe in nurturing the fundamentals and skills necessary for surfing competition, ensuring that each surfer has the opportunity to grow, learn, and reach their full potential.

Ultimately, our goal is to provide a memorable and enjoyable surfing experience while nurturing the growth and success of each surfer in the league.

The SCSSL is a non-profit Surf league dedicated to promoting surfing, fostering community, and driving positive change. We provide access to the sport, support athlete development, and champion environmental stewardship. Join us forging connections and making a difference. Together, we create a brighter future through surfing's transformative power.
