Surfers Score On Big Waves The surf team, coming off a sixth place finish in the state meet last June, won four out of six meets, but it was not enough to knock off arch -rival San Clemente for the league championship. Consistency on 4 ' -6 ' waves, strong back-ups to the first team, and outstanding efforts by the girls only lay in the shadow of the weak performances on smaller waves and the falls during radical maneuvers. The lack of dedication and occasional no -shows by some of the better surfers also did n(5t help matters. Nevertheless, the waves were handled best by sophomore Vince Delapena. who was usually a winner or runner-up. senior Eric Thomas, who shredded on the big waves, and freshman Tim Reardon. who showed he could be the 1 man of the future. Aside from the problem of the Tritons, the team was also pushed to the limit by San Dieguito, Edison, and the DHHS alumni from 1977-1986. The true bright spot of the season was the 66-60 victory at Trestles in the season finale. We scored on the best waves and won hands down! exclaimed Coach Nakamura. Prospects for the future remain bright with Heather Meade. Marc Belanger. and Jake Millard expected back with Delapena and Reardon. The coach ' s expectation for next year.
