Saddleback finished second to MiraCosta College, and was right in front of Point Loma Nazarene, Cal State San Marcos and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in the team competition.
Fox was a winner in the short board competition, beating the other 185 competitors from the 31 different colleges in attendance. Gottrom took home first place honors in the long board, beating out the other 31 competitors.
In addition to Fox and Gottrom, Bryce Mattox was seventh in the short board and Lucas Taub finished 10th in the short board competition.
