St. Augustine High School has been participating in organized surfing for 14 years.The program is moderated by Deacon Hardick and coached by Jim Shaw '71, Jim Eischen '80, Kevin Flynn, and Carmine Rocci '68 who together have well over 100 years of surfing experience both recreationally and competitively. In 14 years Saints has brought three championships to the school.

St. Augustine High School became a member of the Interscholastic Surfing Federation (ISF) in 1996. ISF is a 501(c)(3) organization that was formed to provide organized surfing to high schools throughout California and Hawaii. The San Diego Section currently has 33 high schools participating in four divisions divided by size and location. The league is co-ed so the Saintsmen are joined by surfers from The Academy of Our Lady of Peace. Competitions are made up of team vs. team heats of men's shortboard, men's longboard, women's shortboard, women's longboard, and bodyboard. The season is made up of five meets held starting in the fall and spaced about three to four weeks apart.

Not only is the program a competitive varsity program but it also serves as a "club" venue for students and parents to be involved through our practices and get-togethers at the beach. For the current season we have close to 50 students from Saints and OLP participating. The program also encourages its members who do not participate in a spring sport to join forces with Saints Swim program keeping the students both physically and mentally fit and enhancing their experiences in a city surrounded by water.
