Why does that dog have an MGD? Clearly not Mexican.

Willie (aka Richard) where the heck is your surf board?? Also, surprised Tim didn't make it back for the competition!! Looks like your space is still available at Cuesta Real- stop by El Burro when you return. (Still nice and toasty!!) Ron

Good surf Good times!

So were Stan and Tio judges? Or were they too busy being up to their usual shenanigans (bad behavior) ????
Note to Thomas-- hope you`re still ripping. It`s been awhile!!

Way to go, George. Wish I'd been there.
Shari, looks like a great time, up here its cold and cloudy :-(

Bueno, haven't been to a Surf Contest since Malibu and Dewey or was that David Rippin up at HB Pier like nobody had ever seen! But, this was pure fun in an area rich with kids who surf for fun not sponsors. Good, Clean, Fun! The wave was pretty fun, too. I'm just a beer caddy most of the time Sr. Fischer/Campo Martha Sensation. Yes, I remember meeting at San Pedrito long ago--Hola to Arturo. Just Chillin in the Endless Summer. Smiles, Tio Tomas.

Awsome contest.... was hit up to judge every heat..LOL

George had some great scoring waves, but he had some great competition in the finals!!

Been an awsome weekend!

shari - 8-14-2011 at 12:01 PM

ya know what was really cool....George won the catagory "libre" and got a nice trophy and a surfboard for a prize which he immediately gave to one of the kids....nice touch amigo!!!

Hey Stan ...have you ever surfed before? Not that it matters but...hey, just giving you a hard time.
Maybe we'll see you this fall.
