Welcome to the UCSB Surf Team page! 

We are an official UCSB Club Sport for experienced surfers. The team surfs competitively in the NSSA Southwest college conference.  Competitions are held in Fall, Winter, and Spring months. Our competitions include four regular-season events, states, and nationals, which are hosted at various locations throughout Southern California. 

Our team consists of three sub-teams: Men’s Shortboard, Women’s Shortboard, and Co-ed Longboard. Each year in early Fall quarter we hold try-outs for the Surf Team. Depending on skills demonstrated at tryouts we will pick up the most qualified candidates.  This year we are recruiting for all three sub-teams, men, women, and longboard.  We are looking for experienced and confident surfers. So come on out and make some new friends!!

For more information and to sign up for try-outs, please come and visit our table during the Rec Fest! The festival is located at the UCSB Recreation Center, more details are available in September.  Students and prospective competitors can sign up for this year’s try-out, ask us questions, meet the Captains, and talk to fellow team members!

Join the Team! We are excited to meet you! 

Surf try-outs for the 21'-22' year will be held on October 1 & 2, at 8 am (locations to be determined).  Bring your own wetsuit and surfboard! Try-outs will be mock heat style and are equivalent to a standard competition: 15 minutes heats, surfing against 6 other surfers, with a panel of judges that are made up of  Surf Team Executives. Results of our try-out roster will be announced by Monday, October 3. To kick off the year - we also are hosting our first Team Meeting that Thursday night to welcome new teammates and outline surf season details. For the most accurate updates, keep your eye on our Instagram - @ucsbsurfteam.

If you enjoy competing and are looking for a fun group of like-minded surfers and have any questions, please contact our Captains: Eloise Lubsen and Graham New, via Google form: https://forms.gle/NZpMciNLZ33noqjg6  

 We look forward to meeting you at tryouts! 

*** For those of you who love the ocean but are new to surfing or want more experience before joining a competitive team, the Surf Club and/or the Excursion Club are great alternatives that offer a more relaxed atmosphere for beginner to novice surfers. Many of our competitors are also members of these clubs as well! ***
