About Us

The San Diego Surfers Women’s Rugby Club is the only women’s club in San Diego county. Founded in 1975 (and previously known as both OMBUSH and the Rio Grande Surfers), in 1997 the team applied for non-profit status and officially changed our name to the San Diego Surfers Women’s Rugby Club.  Since then, the Surfers have rapidly matured as a club in terms of talent and experience thanks to the dedication of our players, coaches, and supporters.

Donna “Bear” Stewart

The San Diego Surfers and women’s rugby community have lost a great leader.  Former President and Champagne Classic icon, Donna “Bear” Stewart, passed away on March 28th, 2012. May everyone who plays for the Surfers always remember what people like Bear did for the club and play with pride and honor every time they pull on the jersey to represent the team. Thanks for all of the memories, Bear. You will be missed.

A Celebration of Life is planned for 4:00 PM on Sunday, April 15th at the home of Nise & Karla (4304 Athens Street, San Diego, CA 92115).  Please RSVP via Facebook, or contact the Surfers.

If you have photos or memories of Bear that you would like to share, please send them to kirstinhartos@gmail.com.
