NSSA contest coming to Newport Beach

November 18th, 2009, 7:27 am · Post a Comment · posted by Jeff Malanca, contributing writer

It’s time for Southern California’s best 18 and under amateur surfers to do their thing.  The 6th stop of the National Scholastic Surfing Association Southwest Conference Open Season event is happening in Newport Beach this weekend.

This NSSA event is single A rated, but will have a special Airshow division which is always exciting to watch.  And sometimes there’s even some cash up for grabs for the surfer who can pull off the most radical aerial.

Some of the other divisions that will be taking to the water this weekend include: Boys, Juniors, Longboard, Mens, Mini-Grom and Womens.

As always there’s a lot of top talent from Orange County that will be competing.  They include: Huntington Beach’s Kanoa Igarashi and Christian Saenz, Capistrano Beach’s Luke Davis, Costa Mesa’s Colin Moran, Newport Beach’s Tyler Gunter and Kaleigh Gilchrist.

The two day competition starts about 7:30 a.m each day and wraps up about 5 p.m.  For more info. and heat times, check out nssa.org.

When: Saturday, November 21st and Sunday, November 22nd

Where: 54th Street, Newport Beach
