The Flagler College surf team won first-place team honors at this weekend’s National Scholastic Surfing Association East Coast Championships.

The top two spots in College Men’s went to Flagler surfers Eric Taylor and Ben McLeod.

The team beat out three teams from the University of Central Florida, two from the University of North Florida, one from the University of Florida and one from Daytona Beach Community College.

They will now go to NSSA National Championships this summer in California to compete against colleges from across the nation. To put it in perspective, Flagler didn’t even rank in the top eight last year in East Coast teams.
