The National Scholastic Surfing Association closes its eight-event 2026-27 Gold Coast Conference Explorer regular season at Ventura Harbor on Saturday, March 27 and Sunday, March 28, 2027. NSSA's live official schedule confirms Ventura Harbor for Event #7 and Event #8, and the organizer's shop currently exposes available variants for both contests across all 11 divisions: Men's, Juniors, Boys, Menehuene, Super Groms, Women's, Girls, Super Girls, Longboard, Women's Longboard and Super Seniors. Most selectors display $100 per event; Super Groms and Super Girls display $95. The Menehuene selector unusually displays $170 for Event #7 and $100 for Event #8, a $70 discrepancy that entrants should confirm with NSSA before paying. A current annual NSSA membership is required separately. The ordinary entry deadline is Tuesday, March 23 at 5:00 PM Pacific. NSSA says late entry costs more and is accepted only if space remains. Division age is calculated as of January 1, 2027. Competitors must physically surf six of eight Gold Coast events in their division to qualify for the West Coast Championships, subject to NSSA's published make-up rules; because this is the final regular-season weekend, entrants pursuing qualification should verify their event count directly with the conference director. Public-beach spectating is free. NSSA has not yet published first call, check-in windows, heat draws, division order, exact contest-bank placement, finish time or awards timing, and operations may change with surf, weather or harbor conditions.
