“I think this a good experience for Bosco to come together and focus on surfing,” said Andrew. Being its first year of this club on campus, there are bound to be growing pains that the club will endure and grow from as a whole. While surfing without prior knowledge may seem daunting, being a member of the Surf Team is a chance to learn and grow alongside members of the Bosco community. Trying new things is the theme of this new club, as well as building a stronger bond between students on campus. “When Isaac brought up the idea to me, I just wanted to hop on board and try new things out,” said Ryan. Ryan is in charge of social media on the Surf Team and a prime example of how to be active on the team despite lacking prior knowledge of how to surf. In addition to teaching new members how to surf, they will be tasked with teaching co-founder Ryan Gutierrez how to surf. Knowing that surfing is not a common skill to have, Isaac plans to teach members how to surf along with co-captains Andrew Rivera and Eiian Reyes. “No experience is necessary we’re just looking to have a fun time,” Isaac said. More points are awarded for doing tricks, which Isaac doesn’t think many people will be doing at their competitions.Īlthough there will be frequent competitions, potential members do not need prior experience to be a part of the Surf Team. Surf competitions are scored by judges and participants are given points based on the skills displayed while surfing.

“We have a competition planned with Long Beach Poly High School around winter time this year,” Isaac said. Being a part of both Varsity Water Polo and Swim, he wanted to make a club that went in hand with his love for water sports.

Inspired by the success of nearby schools, Isaac was in awe with the camaraderie that was built within the surf community. Isaac Mays has been surfing for many years, and with the help of club co-founder, fellow senior Ryan Gutierrez, Isaac looks to extend his love for aquatics with all of the Bosco community.
