**i’m still kind of buzzing about the contest we had yesterday. 3 days of planning equals to years of memories. cool vibe, happy faces, high level surfing, and excited kids. we pulled $1,000 cash along with prizes from sponsors and friends. it was all about giving to the kids and making their friendship even stronger. i wish we could do these every month… now my goal is to put together one in japan. send some kids from hawaii and mix them up with the japanese kids. form friendships, encourage them to learn a different culture, and get an experience of a lifetime. for that one, i’m going to need some help to get through the red tape. but if we do, or shall is say, when we do, it will be worth it. stay tuned…..
we had an expression session. the top 6 groms with the highest scores in the contest got to go out and fight for cash prizes…
