surf contest
a major highlight of our weekend was lo in this surf contest! he has not done a contest since i've known him (10 years). so we were pretty excited and surprised when he took 1st in his first heat on Saturday. That meant he went on to compete in Sundays semi-finals & finals. So after my race on Sunday morning I hightailed it back to the beach to watch him in the semi-finals and onto the finals. where he placed 5th overall in the masters division. one thing i can say after watching all the different divisions is mother nature is totally in charge when it comes to winning your heat. yeah.. you've got to have the skills to pull it off too, but if you don't get good waves then it's pretty rough! second thing i have to say.......... the ELEMENTARY division is the cutest thing i've ever seen!
