What a great day a the beach! There were countless insane boards to fondle. It was a fantastic day to picnic, mingle, surf and share our appreciation of surfboards. The grassroots feel and anti-commercialization vibe was killer. Many ideas and concepts were exchanged which can only lead to a push in the evolution of surf craft.
Here are some early photos that have posted to the web, more links to follow:
