WOW!! What a great week in Daytona Beach Shores history! Pure Life Surf School's summer surf camp kicked off Monday June 14th, 2010. All of our campers were ripping! We had such an eventful week, including the recovery of the surf school's enclosed trailer; which was stolen the week before.
Chad Doyle of Ponce Inlet heard through the grape vine that our trailer was stolen by thieves a week ago in the quite little town of Wilbur By The Sea. The trailer ended up in a parking lot in the complex of which Peninsula Holding Co. of South Daytona is a part of. Chad Doyle, part owner of Peninsula Holding Co., investigated the trailer and noticed some markings that were characteristics of our trailer. He then notified me, L.J Kuzmovich, and the South Daytona Police Department. I got the call on Thursday at 11:00am during camp. The happiest moment I have felt in a long while!! It was our trailer!! We may have a small community, but we are not quite when "evil doers" are on the prowl. Word of mouth and a concerned community helped retrieve our trailer with all of our surfing equipment!!! Whaaa Hoooo! Thank you Chad Doyle of Peninsula Holding Co.
The waves were super fun in the beginning of the week! Paul Bruto of Port Orange was showing kids how to get barreled, Monday! Tuesday the water went from warm to freezing; which was nice because the temperature went from cool to blazing hot! Wednesday was canoe toe-in day. Some of the kids were getting toed behind the canoe, holding on to a wake board rope, getting pulled on their surfboards. So much FUN!!
And then there was Thursday! Bernie Crouch of Maddog Surf Shop, local legend and incredible surf board shaper taught the kids how to Stand-Up Paddle Surf. He taught me how to "SUP" Stand-Up Paddle like a pro! A very humbling experience for all the kids and the instructors. Thank you Bernie!! Friday we went to Ponce and found out that there was no waves:( However!!!! The water was crystal clear. The water looked like we were in Fiji! The kids had a blast! We then headed to the Shores Festhaus to enjoy their amazing and absolutely delicious food. After that it was back to Frank Rendon Park for a beach football game!
