NSSA ANNOUNCES THE 2014 NSSA SURFER SCHOLARS!

(June 22, 2014– Huntington Beach, Ca) -- One of the primary goals of the National Scholastic Surfing Association is to emphasize and encourage the academic achievement of its membership. The Surfer Scholar list serves to recognize NSSA student surfers who have a passion for learning and have excelled scholastically. For the third consecutive year, Santa Barbara's Dryden Brown was named  NSSA Surfer Scholar of the Year for earning the highest GPA of 5.0. The National Scholastic Surfing Association congratulates all of our student surfers who have maintained an outstanding 3.5 GPA or higher for the 2013-14 school year. We are proud to honor these outstanding student athletes!
