When the new freshman Class of 2019 at Point Loma High School stepped onto campus last week for the beginning of classes, neither staff or other students may have realized one of those Pointer newbies achieved national recognition over the summer.  Brooke Young, 14, is an up-and-coming surfing star who was selected Surfer of the Week by the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA). She is also a third generation Pointer who should have the school’s surf team coaches totally stoked. Young drew attention in a recent Southwest Explorer doubleheader surf meet in Pacific Beach with an appearance in the finals of all four divisions.  But that attention exploded when she followed this performance by sweeping all four divisions, including both Girls and Women’s categories, of the NSSA Gold Coast season-opening event at C Street Pipe in Ventura. She posted the highest wave and total score on the final day with a nine-point ride, earning a 16.5 point total in the final. Young rides a local board, a 5-foot 3-inch model from South Coast Surfboards in Ocean Beach. Her sponsors are many, including Volcom, South Coast, Matuse, DaKine, Electric, Headhunter, Sticky Bumps, DFS, Wax Trax, Julie Designs and The Young and Brave Foundation. Young’s favorite local surf spot is Sunset Cliffs. She hopes to win a national championship. NSSA is a non-profit 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. It is one of the few national youth sports organizations that requires its participants to maintain academic standards. For information about NSSA, go to www.nssa.org.
