This years tournament was bigger and better but still no gringo entries! The weather was fine and waves not too bad either...about 7' with a few bigger sets. My favorite was watching the tiny tots learning ...

It was neat to see 2 guys takings off on a wave in the opposite directions...here is one of our local guys.

The boy and his dad in the first photo are some of Zack's buddies.
His dad was showing Zack how to get rides also.
They and the other 4 young boys that were with them we so amazingly friendly and accepting that my little man and I will always remember them.

And after last year's tournament when Zack met the surf team, we would hear them calling hello to "Sak" wherever we went.
This group of surfers is just WAY cool and friendly; great kids and folks !!
