UCSB State Champions
UCSB came in first place in the College State Championships this past weekend, with a narrow victory over SDSU. This gives UCSB the State crown and gives them a solid seed at Nationals to be held June 18-21. The only story we can find on their victory is a Transworld article centered on Cal State San Marcos. UPDATE: NSSA has posted a writeup and results. Matt Johnson continues to build on his success with a solid showing. The results of local interest:
COLLEGE TEAM
1. UCSB-A
10. UCSB-B
COLLGE MENS
3. Matt Johnson-UCSB 9.66
5. Charles McMahon-UCSB 9.17
COLLEGE LONGBOARD

Local Schools At States
The NSAA hasn't put up the results yet, but unofficial word is that both SBHS and Carpinteria High School have advanced to Nationals. Update: The NSSA results are up, and local highlights are below. It now makes sense why you don't see Parker or Kokoro's names in the victory column at the Rincon Classic, they were leading their Carpinteria schools down south. All three teams qualified for nationals in June with Carp High earning some temporary bragging rights over Santa Barbara High.
HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
7. Carpinteria 53
10. Santa Barbara 27
HIGH SCHOOL MENS
4. Kokoro Tomatsuri-Carpinteria 10.00
HIGH SCHOOL WOMENS
6. Rachel Harris-Carpinteria 6.00
MIDDLE SCHOOL TEAM
6. Carpinteria
MIDDLE SCHOOL BOYS
2. Parker Coffin-Carpinteria 12.00
Rincon Classic 
The Rincon Classic was held the same weekend, making some kids have to make a choice between events. Jon Shafer at Rincon Surf Blog has posted the results with commentary and a lot of great photos (direct link here.) Adam Lambert, Demi Boelsterli, and Conner Coffin continue to be big names at the Classic. (Photo Credit: Demi Boelsterli by Jon Shafer, Rincon Surf Blog)
Cory Arrambide
You don't see Cory A's name in the list of Rincon Classic winners because he was busy on the East Coast winning the Sebastian Inlet Pro Jr. contest.
