<p>Unless your'e in the cream of the crop, it's going to be tough to play for any water polo team in California. Even the small liberal arts schools like Whittier and Redlands field national powerhouses. Even though the surfing might not be up to par with northern or even southern california, Florida might be the best bet for most water polo players looking for some surfing as well.</p>
<p>If you can play at that level, though, options really open up in California. Best surfing schools would probably be UCSC, Stanford, Santa Clara or any school near the bay area.</p>
