Surf Team Wins at Scholastics!
Bethune Park, New Smyrna Beach, FL
(March 15-17) - The East Coast Scholastics 2008
presented by TransWorld Surf started off with small surf
but ended with a big win for the UNCW Surf Team. This
year's event brought 4 different tag teams from the east
coast to compete in two separate 50-minute tag team
events on two different days to declare the winner. This
prestigious award was once won by Kelly Slater's team
back in 1987. The 2008 UNCW Surf Team members were Ben
Powell, Chris Curry, Cody Leutgens and Mike Powell.
After winning the first round, the boys were confident
going into the finals. Curry started out the team with a
huge first wave, nailing the lip three solid times
before coming in to tag Ben. After seeing this wave from
Chris, the entire team was pumped and ready for
shredding. After Ben came out, his older brother Mike,
our double whammy guy, finished strongly and used his
double whammy on his second wave consisting of floaters
and top turns. By the time the first three were done,
the team was confident in the waves we had caught. Cody
finished the team's performance as the last to go out
only to keep the team's good standing. Every member of
the team and Surf Club at UNCW was ecstatic when we
raised that cup over our heads in triumph. Next year
will come fast so the other teams better get ready for
back-to-back wins from the UNCW Surf Team! -- Cody
Leutgens, Team Captain
