Surfing

Club Overview

The Pepperdine Club Surf team competes in the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA). The team competes throughout the fall and spring in regional tournaments followed by State & National Championships every year. Practices are typically at Zuma Beach, but we love chasing a good wave too!

Membership

The Pepperdine Club Surf Team holds a roster of about 10-15 surfers. We practice at least once a week with our coach and our athletes often catch waves on their own time.

  • Our competition roster consists of six male short boarders, two women's short boarders, and a longboarder (any gender).
  • Practice attendance and an overall commitment to the club are factors for competition rosters.
