Successful start to NSSA season

From TGI Staff Reports

The National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) kicked off its 2000/01

season Saturday, Sept. 23, with a contest at P.K.’s.

The association was

founded over 20 years ago with the idea of combining the athletically enjoyable

elements of surfing with the importance of education. To compete, surfers must

maintain a 2.0 grade point average.

Qualifying surfers will be invited to

attend the state regional contest in March. Then, if success is had at

regionals, a surfer may pass on to the national competition in late June in

California.

Saturday’s contest brought two-to-three foot swells on the

clear, sunny day
