San Dieguito Alumni Contest

Only from a high school in California do you have an alumni surf contest every year. This contest has been growing in popularity with every year promising to be bigger and better. This year was no exception. The event was organized by Olly Norris and Jeremy Sherwin to help raise money for the San Dieguito Surf Team.
The beach scene looked more like a WCT or WQS event than a high school alumni contest.

The scene in the water was some top notch surfing with the likes of Chris Cote getting fully barreled and then busting an air reverse in the semis.

The format called for tag team heats which kept the action rolling.

Andrew Logreco decided to cruise down to the beach and help his team take 3rd in the event.

There were alums from the class of '74 through last years graduates representing at D Street.

Team DSURF: JP St. Pierre, Aaron Smith, Dustin Smith and Colin Smith.

The awards party was held at Today's Pizza in Encinitas who donated all of their profits from the evening to the school.

Team Cote took home the bragging rights this year.

All in the family: Yvonne, JP, Aaron, Katherine, and Dustin celebrating the day.
Team DSURF finished 4th overall and Dustin took home an award for best 80's style.
