More than 230 of the nation's top-ranking surfers competed over six days at California's San Onofre State Park's Lower Trestles to determine the field of finalists and national champions. The nation’s top under 18 surf talents from the East Coast, West Coast, Texas Gulf, and Hawaii flared on some of Lower Trestles finest canvasses.
​
Age group champions were crowned in four divisions: Boys and Girls Under 12, Boys and Girls Under 14, Boys and Girls Under 16, and Boys and Girls Under 18. See list of finalists below and full event results here:
