Empowering Our Players: College Recruiting Webinar Replays

As a continued benefit of being part of Surf Nation, we’re excited to share the replays from our recent College Recruiting Webinars—designed to support our players and families through every step of the college pathway.

These sessions were an incredible success, with nearly 500 Surf Nation players and families participating, highlighting the strength and commitment of our community.

Our College Coaches Panels brought together an outstanding group of coaches from top programs including Harvard University, University of Montana, Coastal Carolina, Utah Valley, Kansas State, Columbia, Fordham, and more. Across both the men’s and women’s panels, coaches provided valuable insight into the player evaluation process, ID camps, recruiting timelines, and best practices for game film and communication—giving families a clear, real-world look at what it takes to compete at the next level.

We’re proud to provide access to this level of education and connection, and we hope you find these replays helpful as you navigate the recruiting journey.
