Of special note, this will be the first year to see the Older age groups play in the first weekend of the tournament. Surf Cup President, Mike Connerley explains, “After receiving many requests from College Coaches throughout the country, we have switched the weekends for the 2012 Surf Cup.  I have been told by the Colleges that the NCAA has decided to start the college conference games a week earlier in 2012 and they did not want to miss coming to the Surf Cup.”

The San Diego Surf Cup is one of the premier college showcase events in the summer, hosting nearly 400 college coaches and scouts.

Surf Cup PR Director, David S. Dawson said, “Surf Cup takes the college exposure players get at our tournaments very seriously. Helping players gain college exposure is a primary focus of the events both in summer and Thanksgiving. We will always make decisions that will benefit both the players and the colleges in that endeavor. In this case, changing our long standing format of youngers then olders weekends only made sense. The key now is making sure everyone, especially those who have come to Surf Cup before, is made aware of the change when planning their summer and applying for the Cup.”
