Experienced surfers and groms alike turned out for the
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Surf Off!! in
Huntington Beach, October 4th.
And so did the community…
Including HB City Council members Connie Boardman and Joe Shaw…
with everyone eager to watch the competitions.
There were environmental education activities, too.
"Some of my student ambassadors were there, showing how the
different densities of plastic floated in water,” Pegasus School teacher Pam Conti told SurfWriter Girls Sunny
Magdaug and Patti Kishel.
Plus there was a beach cleanup hosted by the Surfrider Foundation’s Huntington/Seal
Beach Chapter.
“It was a great day with 83 to 91 degree weather, no
wind, and glassy competition waves,” said H/SB Chapter Chairperson Tony Soriano, noting, “Our beach
cleanup had 472 volunteers, picking up 455 lbs. of trash.”
RRR Surf Off!! organizer Seth Matson, owner of the Orange County Clothing Company (OCCC),
was all over the beach, keeping things on track and making sure that everyone
was having a good time.
Surfrider members Duke
Aipa and Greg Goran made it a
family day.
So did lots of others.
Alex and
Norma Sellers were there with their
friend Gaston Caminata, the CEO of
Surfrider Argentina.
Whole Foods supplied the healthy lunches.
And the other sponsors all pitched in,
Making it a day to remember – not just for the trophies…
but for the stoke shared by all.
Thanks
