WHO:
The top surfers from San Diego County-area high schools, including Carlsbad High, Point Loma High, San Dieguito High and Torrey Pines High
WHAT:
Red Bull Riders Cup, the nations’ premier high school surfing competition. Red Bull and the National Surf League partnered to create Red Bull Riders Cup to help bring the sport of surfing to a new and exciting level. The nationwide event brings together 34 high schools from eight regions to compete in a single elimination “March-Madness” style tournament. The Series utilizes the National Surf League’s “The Game” format, which was modeled after team sports such as basketball, football, and baseball. The Game format serves to bridge the gap between individual sports like surfing and more fan-friendly team sports. This revolutionary format includes two teams competing against each other, only one team in the water at a time, three periods, timeouts, coaches, referees and substitutes
