Grom of the MONTH DP SURF Nick Hagen SCOOP ON THE LOCAL SURF COMMUNITY Age: 18, San Clemente High School Nick Hagen was the first ever Grom of the Week in the debut issue of the SC Times on March 23, 2006—two years before the DP Times launch. Back then Nick was an eighth grader and totally stoked on surfing. In that first Grom of the Week, it was written that, “Nick is that rare water- man who can surf longboards and shortboards with equal skill.” This is still true of him today. We caught up with him on his graduation day and asked him what surfing meant to him during his high school career and found that his love for the sport has continued. “Surfing put the fun in high school. It was great to go to the beach in the morning and start ev- DP THEN NOW Dana Point ery day off surfing with the team,” said Nick. “There was nothing better Photo by Andrea Swayne than having morning contests and traveling with my friends. I will keep surfing for the rest of my life.” Nick will be headed just north of Sacramento in the fall to attend the Yuba City Fire Academy for the first semester and then back home to Saddleback College. When asked how he feels about leaving his childhood 6 behind and shedding his “grom” status, he commented that it is kind of sad in a way. “But hey, life rolls on,” he said. —AS National Champions Crowned at Lowers SURF The 2010 Surfing America U.S.A.
