The YMCA contest was slated as a 'Novice Contest for Surfers getting ready for competition'.
It was a beautiful day. Sunny and warm. The wave report for the contest was 1-3 foot and glassy.........
Lucas and Logan were excited for their contest. Like Sarah Palin going to Sachs with her shiny new RNC credit card! We got up early and drove down to Ocean Beach. Unfortunately when we pulled up it resembled more pipeline than small San Diego. Yes this photo is Puerto Escondido. But put yourself at Logan's size 4'6" 75lbs and you get the picture.
To add insult to injury here is one of the kids he surfed against. There were 12 year old kids getting tubed and doing airs!
Here is Hale psyching up for his heat. He did well and got into the finals. I saw him at Cardiff today and he said the finals were sketchy. But he was a champ and coached Logan.
Here are some of the parents wondering if they should have their kids go out?
Here is Logan getting ready for his heat. 
Here is Jerry getting Logan ready for his heat. He stepped up and paddled out getting 3 waves in the 4-8 foot faces. The surfers were very good.
Here is Lucas in his heat taking off on head high pounders. He did great. The put him in a heat with a pro surfer and a few adults so it was stacked against him but he carried himself well in the big surf earning respect from the beach.
Lucas again.
