The National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to encourage and assist its members in their interest to learn and develop the fundamentals and skills of surfing competition while competing in structured and quality events. The NSSA promotes the qualities of discipline and competitive excellence while supporting the merits of academic achievement to young surfers. The NSSA strives to provide a fun surfing experience for all of its members.

The NSSA is one of the few national youth sports organizations that require its participants to maintain academic standards in order to compete. Since 1978, the NSSA program philosophy has been that athletics and scholastics go hand in hand. More than 80 NSSA events are run nationwide that culminate with the annual National Championships which is regarded as the highest profile youth surfing event in America.

Surfer of the Week - 1/5/2009

Skip McCullough

Age: 13
Hometown: La Jolla, Ca
School: Muirlands Middle School-7th grade
Sponsors: Jet Pilot, Dragon, FCS, Gorilla Grip, Pacific Drive Surf Shop.
Claim to Fame: You can say that Skip McCullough received a perfect birthday gift. On Sunday, January 4, just one day shy of his 13th birthday, Skip posted his first ever perfect 10 score on a screaming right tube in his quarterfinal Menehuene heat at the Pacific Beach Explorer. In solid, building 3-5 foot peaks at Crystal Pier, Skip pulled into the hollow cylinder, disappeared for around 4 seconds and then emerged to a cheering crowd before finishing the wave off with a big frontside lip blast.
