For the past 37 years (at least that is what I’m told) Toby has been organizing an annual trip to the coast on Nevada Day: The VG Surf Fest (curious about what VG stands for, you’ll have to ask him yourself). Basically it’s just a bunch of friends camping and surfing near Salmon Creek California.

This year we were blessed with FOUR days of great surf, great weather and fun times.

Some highlights:

-         Full moons

-         Toby making the late night drive so we could enjoy Friday morning surf

-         Four/Five star surf = Four/Five star workings

-         A late night hike through the dunes and on to the moonlit beach for a campfire

-         Pumpkin cookies

-         Ocean surf rookies Newt and Rita

-         Only a one out of four dogs getting skunked

-         Sunburns and sandburns

-         No sharks

-         Newton Debardelebendebenenenenen and his love of picnics

-         Breakfast al a Manny

Thanks to Stephen and Jessica for the good photos… the rest are from my cheesy waterproof.
