The Malibu High School surf team competed against Ventura, Santa Barbara, and Carpinteria high schools in the Golden State Regional Championships, the second competitive high school surfing event of the 2009 Red Bull Riders Cup, in Ventura last week.
Malibu won the regional title, earning them a spot in the Red Bull Riders Cup National Championship, which will be held on June 6-7 at Upper Trestles in San Clemente.
The Most Valuable Player of the competition was Malibu’s Skyler Lawson, and the award for Most Radical Maneuver went to Malibu’s Conrad Carr for his backside tail-out blast.
