Manhattan Beach, Huntington Beach, and Oceanside. These outstanding California beaches had festivals and body surfing throughout this summer.

Dave participated in each and my FB has some pictures I shared.

All of the participants, families and observers are the best.
The comaraderie!      +
Each heat was truly unique and interesting.

Yesterday was the most amazing. The World Body Surfing Championship held annually in Oceanside, California. 

The O'Gorman family fascinated all spectators with four generations participating.
 
Mr. O'Gorman, age 87, competed in his heat. We watched as he headed out into the water, confident and with a smile. WOW!

Spending a day on the beach at the San Clemente Bodysurfing Contest on Sunday was just great!

The participants were of every age, background, size and experience.

It is always so exciting to catch the fever of the surfers and to listen to the cheers as the waves float in and the ocean glistens.

Dave has the "fever" and an early 6 a.m. check-in is all part of the experience. 

I appreciate this as a healthy step of being in the outdoors and keeping in shape.

Celebrating life!

I applaud one and all.

I just spoke at the University Village in Thousand Oaks and loved the welcome and response of my audience. It was exciting to have someone special in the audience! It was Mr. Eddy Goldfarb who recently recieved a Lifetime Achievement Award as a creator and giant in the toy industry. For those of you who have been in my audiences, I have often used wind-up teeth as a moving and fun/interesting visual about communication. The chattering teeth have traveled the world with me and were invented by - Eddy Goldfarb!
