The top high school surfers in the country gathered this weekend in San Clemente to compete in the Red Bull Riders Cup National Championship, bringing with them ideal weather and near-perfect waves. With a powerful swell pouring through Upper Trestles at San Onofre Beach all weekend long, the teams were given the chance to test their mettle and show their skills in the premiere high school surfing competition. The eight teams - all of whom had earned their National Championship spots by dominating local rivals in Regional Championships - came from Florida, New Jersey and all up and down the Southern California coast. The competition was fierce from the get-go, but in the end it came down to a grudge match between Mira Costa High and San Dieguito Academy that could only be settled in overtime. When all was said and done, Mira Costa High School took the win and with it the bragging rights as 2009 Red Bull Riders Cup National Champions.

The New Jersey Regional Championships, the sixth stop of the 2009 Red Bull Riders Cup season, took place this week in a cold tail end of the East Coast winter in Ocean City, New Jersey.  This stop of the Red Bull Riders Cup, the nation's premier high school surfing competition, saw New Jerseys best high school surfers paddle out in mostly cold and difficult conditions.    Participating high schools included Ocean City High School, Southern Regional High, Manasquan High, Point Pleasant High and Middle Township High.
  

As reported by Jon Coen on PressOfAtlanticCity.com:

When the Red Bull Riders Cup first came to Ocean City in 2007, Middle Township High School had only offered a surf club as an extracurricular activity for a year.

Last year, Manasquan High dashed Middle Township's early hopes. In the first semifinal game of this week's regional qualifier, Middle got retribution in the form of a 57.5-36.2 trouncing in 2- to 3-foot waves, with the occasional bigger set, at the First Street beach.
