Jasset (16) and Jack (12) Umbel have been coming to San Clemente each summer for the past four years, making back-and-forth trips each season to coincide with summer surf contests and to escape the flat Florida summers. This year, their supportive parents decided to let them call San Clemente home for the entire summer and the two are settling in for a four-month stay. Their mom is here with them and dad will make a few trips to visit and watch their contests. Though they just arrived in mid-May, both say that every summer they pick up right where they left off the summer before with the great friends they have made here. “The people in San Clemente are great. We feel right at home and very welcome here,” said Jasset. The locals that meet them, both around town and in the water, have no problem welcoming these two. Both are polite, kind and fun to be around—and they rip! Look for Jack and Jasset at Lowers—their “favorite wave of all time”—and blending right into the local scene. The duo will compete in NSSA Nationals. Jasset is also training for Surfing America US Championships, Ripcurl Gromsearch, Super Girl Jr. Pro and the US Open Jr. Pro. Welcome to San Clemente Jasset and Jack!
