Surfer of the Week - 5/12/2008

Courtney Conlogue

Age: 15
Hometown: Santa Ana, Ca
School: Sage Hill
Sponsors: Billabong, Reef, Huntington Surf and Sport, Nixon, Smith, Sex Wax, Go211.com, Zola, Toyota of HB, Nalus Island Grill
Claim to Fame: Courtney bested her own record of three consecutive Conference Titles (a record she shared with Holly Beck) by finishing her fourth straight year as Southwest Conference Open Womens Champion. Even though Courtney had the title essentially wrapped up prior to this weekend's regular season finale at Oceanside South Jetty, she concluded the 07-08 season in dramatic fashion with a clutch, come-from-behind dynamic 9-point ride at the buzzer clinching the victory, her seventh of the year.
