The surfing squad enjoys after- school sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays and time in the water early on Thursdays. A group of boarders also regularly surfs – under the guidance of Nolan – during the week. While the surfers’ skills range from beginner to expert level, all have enjoyed surfing sessions off Sumner, New Brighton, and Taylors Mistake. While several College surfers compete nationally, others are still learning and having fun.
