Lawsuit
In 2021, Girls Director of Coaching Rob Becerra was accused of sexual harassment during his employment at Surf, which led to a lawsuit against the club. Becerra was accused of harassing one of his employees, Karley Nelson, who joined the club in 2020. He allegedly told Nelson that she could "sleep with any of the guys in that clubhouse" and made repeated comments about her body. Additionally, the suit alleged that Becerra touched Nelson multiple times. Nelson was told that Becerra would be removed at the end of the season for poor performance, but to her knowledge, he was not reprimanded for the allegations of sexual harassment. Another woman who coached for Surf alleged that Becerra had directed sexist and homophobic jokes at her.
