Each semester the Flagler College Surf Team competes once a month for four months, adding up to a total of eight preliminary contests per year. For every victory or placement, the team earns points. These points are gained to qualify for the East Coast Championship, which takes place early in April.

The club’s goal is to achieve third place or better, which advances them to the NSSA (National Scholastic Surfing Association) college title. Once completed, the surf team takes a trip out west to California in the summer for a week to compete for the national title.

A decision at the ballot in California on Nov. 2 could potentially legalize recreational marijuana throughout that state.

Proposition 19, otherwise known as the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010, is a California ballot proposition that seeks to legalize marijuana in the state. It requires a simple majority in order to pass.
