The Crew's surf team disbanded for the coalition events of 2008. After Seahag went on the disabled list with his back the team scattered. However, the membership is still strong and we are rebuilding the team for 2009.

There was a fun time had at the Crew's Northside Classic in November of 2008 with First Place going to Bill Brewer. Tom Knight and Bret Zschomler rounded out the top three. We also had a good showing at the Summer Surf Contest that the city of HB puts on. The Bikes for Baja was postponed this year due to all the problems in Mexico. Our annual Christmas party went off and we adopted two families this year for Christmas.

2009 started off with a decent showing at DLSA's Gathering of the Tribes. We finished 13th out of 18 teams from all over California. We surfed against many of our old teammates who now are surfing for Malibu, Oceanside and Long Beach. Sean Kehoe made two finals, Billy Hopkins made the finals and Seahag won the president's division. Our youngest and newest member, Diego was in good form but was up against tough competition as he is nine surfing against 14 year olds.

Our 23rd annual Pier Paddle on February 1st, 2009 was won by Tom Knight. Second place went to Bill Brewer followed by Bret Zschomler, Bill Hopkins, Ryan Zschomler and Thomas Da Silva.

The Valentine Day Party was a great success thanks to our hostess, Teresa Pauli. Bret won the trip to Mexico and his band entertained the crew with some hot licks.

Diego Quinonez represented the crew in the 2009 Big, Bad & Ugly at Morro Bay. Diego placed first in the grom division.

The next event was the 10th Annual Robin Hauser Surf n Bowl held on April 25-26, 2009. Fountain Bowl hosted the bowling and the surf was good 2-4 footers on Easter Sunday at 6th Street in Huntington Beach. Gary, Bill, Dave and Bret placed in that order. Baby Steve won the junior and Kelly grabbed first in the women's division.
