 Such a huge help having extra hands in the water pushing kids onto waves and teaching lessons.

Red Bull Ride My Wave Comes To An End- With A Great Finish!!!!

Well our A-Bay boys did it…… after a challenging battle with the opposing surfers from the south side of the island. After competing in the South in March, and then now competing in our East this last month, our A-Bay boys did and excellent job and walked away with a trophy, the heads held high, and the chance of a lifetime… to compete in the Maldives against their best. They did great over there and 5 of our guys were in the top. Unfortunately their sponsored #1 surfer took 1st place in the contest. It was still a great opportunity for our boys! Cody and I both helped out during the contest in A-Bay. Cody was the official announcer on the mic and I was the club photographer. We hosted a Congratulations party for the club, in which the STN team helped us set up for, buy food and tear down. Cody put together a great surf movie of all of my footage of the contest. The boys were stoked to see their surfing and celebrate again in their accomplishment. It was a fun night!
