Future Careers for Surfers

Not everyone will be remotely skilled at surfing, but it is possible if you have a real passon for it. The ones who do go professional do it by surfing everyday and competing in contests. If someone was to take surf PE at Point Loma and later decide that they are gifted and would like to go pro, that would be phenomenal.
Especially when you consider how much their salary is. According to Surfline.com, the top 44 male surfers in the sport make a minimum of close to 40,000 dollars a year, if they get dead last every contest. On top of that, their sponsors pay them anywhere from 40-50 thousand dollars annually.

The Possible Downside to Surf PE

According to SURFER magazine, surf pe is not where it should be. Recently, the kids of El Camino High School were out surfing amongst the locals at the beach. A few locals were getting waves and the students thought that they had more of a right to the waves than the locals did.
So they started yelling. And swearing. And lots of other foul trash talk that a 15 year old shouldn't be saying. The coaches were completely oblivious to this, and the talk did not stop until the period was over.
Local hate this, it puts a bad image on today's youth. The author recommends that PE coaches should teach beach edicate along with teaching them how to surf. Perhaps that would lessen the conflicts that arise.
