URI Surf Club back on track

Dan Callaghan cutbacks during the Men's Final.

The URI Surf Club is back in business and by the number of entrants at last weekend's Spring Intercollegiate New England competition at Narragansett Town Beach it was the most successful event they've run in the past two years, drawing surfers from all over the region.

With waist high conditions and the Eastern Surfing Association providing the equipment, judging, and tabulators the contest went smoothly and competitors were happy.

URI surf club officers Ashley Baron and Rachel McCarty both agreed that the turnout of both female and male competitors was better than expected.

“We had six heats in the Men’s Open competition,” said Ashley. “That is a good turnout for any contest.”

The Ram squad was already discussing plans for the next inter-collegiate contest, possibly in October.
