We can only be the best people we can be.

"Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces."

2011 US Surf Open

I was lucky to catch the last day of the US surf open and watch the 10-time world champion Kelly Slater surf.

















I have never seen so many people at Huntington beach.

















Just a view of what it looks like under the Huntington beach pier.

















Grandpa was posted on the beach with his Canon taking pictures. Unfortunately, it seemed he wasn't dressed appropriately for the occasion. I guess you got to do what you got to do.

















Lolo capturing the moment!

















Checking out the pull-up competition.























During the surf competition they had a little break so Bob Burnquist and some Nitro Circus guys could skydive and land on the beach. I got to shake Bob's hand after he landed and walked passed the crowd. Check out those shoes!
