I watched Miranda Joseph, age 54 tear apart Malibu Point at Call to the Wall. She made it look easy - picking only the best set waves to put on a clinic connecting smooth maneuvers all the way to finish in front of the judges on the inside. Not only there for her heats, she was a fixture underneath the Windansea tents loudly cheering on her teammates with enthusiasm, "BLEEP! BLEEP!". The junior women and menehune girls sit close to "Mir" to listen for golden nuggets of advi

A soon to be new family member of the Windansea Surf Club has recently cemented his reputation as he dominated in the 2018 Malibu Call to the Wall. Ripping in his long board heat, Phil Rajzman, age 36 carved his way to the finals, achieving first place. His strong yet fluid style won over the judges as he ran back and forth playing tag with the nose and floating across sections on his hi comp Hobie board.

The club put up a strong showing only falling short to host Santa Cruz Longboard Union at the 34th annual SCLU Club Invitational up at Steamer Lane. The conditions on Saturday for the preliminary rounds were about as good as it gets and the team crushed it, finishing the day just 90 points behind SCLU. Sunday, the size dropped a bit and the sets were more intermittent, but the surf was still fun. By the time the finals started, early Sunday morning, Windansea had earned 24

Way to Windansea to rally together for the 34th SCLE Invitational at Steamer's Lane. We came in all shapes and sizes including President Bill Fitzmaurice with his U-Haul full of pretty much anything you could think of. If you cracked it at 3am (far from bright-eyed) you were able to get a killer warm up session in at the Lane with the rest of the day to get camp set up. In my opinion what is one of the most unique experiences is getting to be in such close quarters with eve

I am proud to announce that The WIndansea Surf Club won the first of the Coalition series of contests for the 2018 season. This first contest out of eleven was hosted by The incredibly awesome Estero Beach Surf Club and held at Morro Bay. This was an incredible event for all the clubs that participated and The Estero Beach Surf Club could not have been better hosts. WSC Comp Team Director Jon Roseman with the assistance of Ozstar de Jourday did an unbelievable job of organizi

This weekend brought epic weather and a little surf to the 8th annual Tourmaline Classic hosted by Cardiff Reef Club and Pacific Beach Club, but the comp team showed up in the finals in just about every division except 2! And the highlights were many... In the paddle race Joel Tudor gave us a strong start in second with Tiare Thompson bringing us in contention for 1st by catching a wave in! The gap only grew with our anchor crossing the line with a strong lead. We had mothe

The Oceanside contest will be held August 12-13 (unfortunately that conflicts with Day at the Beach). This is a large event with many different divisions as well as 2 Professional contests with $5000 in prize money for each event. On Sunday around noon there will be a paddleout for Nathan Smith. More info here. Below are details on the coalition event. For more info on rules, visit OLSC website. To secure a spot on the team roster, please e-mail me by July 20. That is deadl

It took awhile to write this post because the team results were so close - 100 pts and we ended up taking 2nd to Santa Cruz - so close. Fun weekend regardless, awesome weather. Lots of great surfing witnessed that made the drive north worthwhile. As you can see, alot of our team made the finals in their divisions. WINDANSEA FINALISTS: 2nd- Helena Roseman, novice 5th - Dylan Needleham, novice 6th - Cheryl Ruyle, novice 2nd - Sophia McGovern, Menehune Girls 14 & under 1st - T

It's the contest in Santa Cruz that is all about fun riding old boards with no cords. Aloha heats we can't be beat. Here are some shots from Mike Perrault of the action we missed up at Pleasure Point. #contests #logjam #kellenlovell #lorenzo

Windansea has been invited to compete in this year's Rincon Invitational March 18-19th hosted by Groundswell Society. 20 clubs have been invited that demonstrated outstanding community service, so we are honored to take part in this unique event that does not score maneuvers but how many waves a club can share in one hour (check out the rules here)! As a fundraising event, Groundswell Society has raised almost $20,000 for the Rincon Scholarships, which have been awarded to hi

Perhaps to make up for using amateur judges, The Malibu Boardriders club decided to enforce rules with ZERO TOLERANCE. Even though a number of WSC compadres fell victim to this strict police state(Gus, Mele, Miranda) we still walked away with the #1 hardware, edging out Oceanside 2740 vs. 2570. The surf was pumping all weekend with chest-high Malibu perfection, groomed by light winds gracing the lineup for 6 competitors at a time. The club took first place with individual res

Well clearly some of the best surfers on the beach at Cardiff this weekend were surfing for the mightly WindanSea Surf Club, ripping apart the chest to head high peelers all weekend long. Unfortunately, Oceanside Longboard Club showed up with just too many people and there would be no stopping then from winning the Swami's Cardiff competition and the perpetual coalition trophy for 2015. Notable finalists included Ricky Cuningham (1st), Joel Tudor (1st), Keili McEvilly (2nd),

Since getting second in Santa Cruz is winning...we won! SCLU hosted another great event with plenty of chest high+ waves topped by lively camping at the nearby church lot. WindanSea was in the hunt the entire event and with a victory at the paddlerace it seemed a victory was within reach. Oh did I mention Jeff Anderson took home a new board from the raffle and Tiare Thompson was given a board as the youngest (and best) surfer in the women's open shortboard. The list of WSC fi
