 San Clemente, California (June 11, 2018) – Toyota USA Surfing Championships – the competitions that determine national titles and positions on Team USA’s ISA World Championship teams – will be held June 12-22 in Southern California’s top surf locations - San Onofre State Beach, Lower Trestles and Oceanside Harbor. The event features ten days of elite athlete performances from the nation’s best adaptive, StandUp, longboard, and adult and junior shortboard surfers.
The June 12-15 segment of the competition held at Oceanside Harbor North Jetty will include adult shortboard, adaptive, longboard, SUP and Paddleboard divisions. (See summary schedule below.) Team USA’s World Adaptive Surfing Championship team won its first gold medal in 2018 and is looking to repeat this year. Team manager and competitor Christiaan "Otter" Bailey said the four-year-old Team USA World Adaptive Surfing Championship team has made it to the podium every single year, clinching team gold last year. "The passion, drive and determination of our team to constantly train, consistently push their limits and be absolutely undeterred by a challenge, has collectively gotten us to where we are today," Bailey said. "I’m hugely proud of our Team USA athletes and how far we’ve come over the years, it was a hard fought win in 2018 and now, we have to work twice as hard...To ensure that the performance bar that Team USA sets, is the benchmark by which all other teams are measured!" The junior U18 shortboard USA Championships held June 18-22 at San Onofre State Beach’s Lower Trestles will be webcast live on Surfline and scoring will be running live on the STACT app. Approximately 250 of the top under 18 surfers who qualified in regional competitions across Mainland USA and Hawaii will compete to clinch Championship titles and chance to be on USA Surfing’s national teams. The Championships are a highly anticipated event, drawing surf industry leaders, media and talent scouts. The junior athletes’ performances will provide a preview of surfers who could represent the United States in ISA World Championship events, the World Surf League’s Qualifying Series and Championship Tour and future Olympic Games.
