Jeremy Sherwin is one of our local team representatives who is coach of the San Dieguito Surf Team. He recently coached the Team to win the National Championship Title in the NSSA High School division. DSURF sends out a big congratulations to the SDST and Coach's Sherwin and Norris.

After coaching the team to victory, Jeremy stole away on a trip to Tasmania to surf numerous spots as well as Shipstern's Bluff. Jeremy writes:

Tasmania is a beautiful place. Situated in the lower 40's, it can get colder than a witches tit in the winter, hence our trip launched in March of this year. The crew consisted of two Hawaiians, Jason Shibata, and Nathan Carroll, the SURFING mag Google Earth winner Christophe and renowned surf photographer Sean Davey. Davey makes this trip to his home of Tasmania once a year to bask in the beauty of fall. We found warm sun, and empty beach breaks with breath taking backdrop's in abundance. Lucky for us we had Sean as his experience surfing all the spots really helped us to score the best spots. Its not a sort of place you can just show up and score as the island is conditionally very temperamental. That meant we were constantly checking the surf and wind reports and literally driving on mountainous, one-lane highways for hours to get good surf. We drove, we laughed, and we surfed uncrowded waves, it was a sick trip.
The trip culminated on the last day when we took a boat out to Shipsterns Bluff and scored some fun waves with a crew of the coolest locals I've ever encountered in my travels around the world. We all shared some glorious tubes and long hold downs. I hope the Ozone Layer regrows over that part of the globe as it's a gem amongst itself...
