The 2014 Oakley High School Surf Team Challenge held its San Diego regional event this past weekend at Seaside Reef in Cardiff, California, in collaboration with the Oakley Surf Shop Challenge.

Ten teams of four surfers each from area high schools competed in the fun rippable swell on offer. But at the close of the final, only one team could claim the honor of best San Diego area High School Surf Team and this year’s honor went to Point Loma High School.

In addition to the glory and bragging rights, the team took home Oakley iPad minis, OHSTC Futures Fins and Watermans Sunscreen for their efforts. Carlsbad High School took second, San Dieguito Academy took third and Santa Fe Christian High School claimed fourth.

A second Oakley High School Surf Team event will take place at 54th/56th Street in Newport Beach, Calif. on May 31st to determine the top high school in Orange County.
