flooding and huge surf.

lots of sand and stones

there was a surf contest.

volcom surf contest.

alex paddling out {in yellow}.
Jayson watching. it was really stormy.

it was a tough paddle out.
even tougher to catch anything.
huge, but stormy waves.
alex was disappointed
and tired.

watched these boys wait
for the waves to wash over the bench,
when they did. they would run.


cool grom bus.

cool kicks.

all stars + biker boots = love.

waves washed
over the parking lot.

it was an exciting morning.

contest over, we headed for
breakfast at one of our favorite spots.
