It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the water, so that in itself was a great experience,” said Wild, who also starred on the Eagles basketball team that won a CIF San Diego Section title in 2003. “It’s completely different than the surfing I’m used to, but it was still awesome to be a part of it again.”
