MANASQUAN – Manasquan High School captured another surfing state championship title on Sunday, the school's fifth straight title.

The competition featured 210 high school surfers from 15 schools at the Jersey Shore and New York, according to nj.com. Each individual surfer gets points from a panel of judges as he or she competes in a heat.

"It's surreal," Manasquan co-coach Kris Buss told the publication. "We've been here for 12 years as coaches. We used to struggle to finish in the top five. To think that we won the state championship now five years in a row, it's just a surreal feeling."
