A couple of weeks ago, one of my favorite surf contests was held at First Point in Malibu, Ca. For the past three years, the Annual Malibu Invitational was held to help out Lyon Herron battle his fight with Garner's Syndrome. The community's efforts paid off and now Lyon is tumor free. This year, the event was held to benefit Malibu born and raised local, Jimmy Gamboa's & his wife's foundation TheraSURF. TheraSURF helps heal children with special needs by taking them into the ocean to catch some waves and enjoy the ocean. TheraSURF focuses a close attention to the intimate involvement with each kid and their families and close friends so all can share in the healing of the ocean together. Although I did not have the pleasure surfing with these kids individually, I can tell you first hand from the beach that they joy on their faces is so inspiring. It makes me so happy to see such an amazing event take place and see a community working so closely with each other. TheraSURF is truly inspiring.

Thanks to Chappy for inviting my boyfriend to compete. Hope you enjoy the pics.
