About Edison High School Surfing

Making A Great Future

​

​

Thank you for checking out the Edison Surf Team Website.  Here at Edison, we are fortunate enough to have a full surf program.  We have a surf class that meets every morning at 6:30am and the students get P.E. credit.  About 75 surfers meet at the beach to improve skills, respect the ocean, and have fun.  Out of the 75 surfers, we have a surf team that competes against other schools up and down the coast.

The Surf team has about 25 surfers.  This includes shortboarding, boys and girls, longboarding, boys and girls.  Our surfing season goes all school year.  In the fall we have our local contests before school which is called the Sunset league.  Next we have the CCSA season that runs through the winter months on the weekends.  In the spring we have local comps plus the ISF and NSSA state championships.  We finish in June with the NSSA Nationals.

Surfers are expected to strive in the classroom.  Surfers must carry a 2.0 gpa in order to compete on the team.  Students are rewarded for having a 3.4 or higher gpa by earning the student academic award.  This award is given at the year-end banquet by the Athletic Director.  Edison surf Alumni have gone on to colleges such as; UCLA, UC Berkeley, USC, UCSD, UCSB, UC Santa Cruz, SDSU and CSULB.

Besides excelling in the classroom and in the ocean, surf team members are expected to be good citizens.  This year we are doing the SAC Surforama, where our students will teach our special needs students how to surf and enjoy a beach day.

Traveling is the highlight of any surfers life.  Each year, the surf team goes on a camping trip.  We surf, hang out, eat, and have bocce-ball competitions.  We have been to Costa Rica, Tahiti, Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Peru.

This program would not be possible without the support of the school, great parents and surfing community.  A big thank you to our major sponsors; Jack’s surfboards and Hurley Clothing. 

If you have any questions about our program, you can call, E-mail or write.

Thank you
