What a great event!

Patrick, Micheala and I arrived just as the sun was coming up to a great event at Ledbetter Beach in Santa Barbara!  This ‘keiki’ surf contest was hosted by Surf Happens which is a local surf school in Santa Barbara dedicated to teaching kids the art of surfing with proper education, etiquette and history of the sport.  The group promotes the high five initiative where everyone that hits the beach picks up 5 pieces of trash before they enjoy the waves.

This weekend was special because Pro Surfer Lakey Peterson was there to host the event and had a special clinic session for Teddy Bear families with kids that have cancer.  It was pretty cool to watch parents and kids out there having fun in the waves with a pro surfer!
