With the NSSA National Championships this week, the country’s top surfer scolars were also named. I’ll just defer to the NSSA itself for details:

One of the main goals of the National Scholastic Surfing Association is to encourage and honor the academic achievement of its membership.   The Surfer Scholar list serves to recognize NSSA student surfers who have a passion for learning and have excelled scholastically.  The National Scholastic Surfing Association congratulates all of our student surfers who have maintained an outstanding 3.5 GPA or higher for the 2007-08 school year.
