Surf club, anyone?

Landlocked students who want to hang 10 now have the opportunity. A burgeoning, 2-year-old surf club now embarks on road trips to New England beaches, and it offers newbies a chance to learn the ropes. “We saw there was a great opportunity just two hours away to surf, and we needed to take advantage of the College resources available to us,” says president Hinun Crespin ’20, who launched the group with Sheppard Somers ’19. Eight surfers went to California last winter during break, but there’s wave riding potential close to campus, too: Last spring members managed some river surfing on standing waves in nearby whitewater. Epic.
