NorCal Surf Nation is currently made up of 7 clubs spanning from Reno (close enough to NorCal!) down to Monterey. We will come together over the coming years for play dates, tournaments and combine to make NorCal Surf Select teams. In addition our players will get the opportunity to guest play on sister Surf clubs…some of already gotten this opportunity playing with the Hawaii Surf at Surf Cup. Our combined future is exciting and with that said meet our NorCal Surf Nation sister clubs.

Central Valley Surf started out in 2004 as Stockton Maracras FC, joining Surf Nation in 2018. Recently merging with Lodi United FC, and together they now have 35+ teams registered with NorCal Premier.

San Jose Surf started out in 2007 as Club America San Jose and grew to 16 teams by 2015. Since joining Surf Nation in 2017 they have grown to 48 teams and show no signs of slowing down.

Monterey Surf is the furthest south of our NorCal Surf Nation. And just like Central Valley Surf they too have brought in a neighboring club to join the fold by merging with Monterey County Futbol Club giving their players all the advantages of Surf Nation. Together they have 35 teams registered with NorCal Premier. And guess what? Sometimes they even practice at the beach! Not bad…
