With team leader Ben Hervey-Murray residing in Huntington Beach, the squad – who are America’s official representation on the international stage for shore-based saltwater angling – is looking for both local and national talent to compete at the highest level.
“Southern California and Huntington Beach is the perfect home base for the USA Surf Fishing Team,” said President and local business owner Ben Hervey-Murray. “This region has a deep connection to the sport through its outstanding surf fishing beaches, and we’d love to see West Coast anglers, businesses, and supporters get involved in expanding our world-class program.”
Following a silver medal team finish and an individual bronze for VP Ryan Lambert at the 2024 Pan American Championships, the team is now growing its roster. Competitive surf anglers, fishing guides, and experienced beach anglers using artificial or natural baits in all conditions are encouraged to apply. Openings are available for men’s, women’s, and youth teams.

Beyond the surf, the team is also seeking experienced managers and support staff to assist with logistics, communications and operations. The USA Surf Fishing Team is looking to further grow its presence going forward, securing regional support to drive success in the areas of competition, conservation and community across the West Coast.
