About

The Merage Beach & Surf Association (MBSA) organizes surf-related events that are accessible to all students. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced surfer, whether you want to hang out and play games on the beach with your fellow classmates, or give back to the community, MBSA is the right club for you.

Besides organizing surf and beach activities the club also aims to expose students to the business side of surfing. Orange County is the epicenter of the global surf and action sports industry. It is, therefore, the club’s goal to strengthen the school’s relationship with the companies in the industry and create professional opportunities for our students.
