31st annual NSSA National Championships presented by No Fear. This immense national surfing event will hold its competition for the 18th consecutive year at the nation’s premier surf break: Lower Trestles, and ninth at Salt Creek in Dana Point. We are proud that the California State Parks and the Dana Point Beaches and Harbors have given us ability and trust to hold such a worthy and momentous event for America’s top student surfers. I would also like to convey our thanks to California Governor Arnold Schwarzeneger for supporting National Championships by presenting the ninth-annual Governor’s Cup to the Open Men’s and Open Women’s Champions. This esteemed award represents NSSA Nationals significance as a great celebration for sport, fitness and a healthy lifestyle.
The National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to encourage and assist its members in their interest to learn and develop the fundamentals and skills of surfing competition while competing in structured and quality events. The NSSA promotes the qualities of discipline and competitive excellence while supporting the merits of academic achievement to young surfers. The NSSA strives to provide a fun surfing experience for all of its members.
The NSSA is one of the few national youth sports organizations that require its participants to maintain academic standards in order to compete. Since 1978, the NSSA program philosophy has been that athletics and scholastics go hand in hand. More than 80 NSSA events are run nationwide that culminate with the annual National Championships which is regarded as the highest profile youth surfing event in America.
