this has always been one trip i especially look forward to each surfing season. trinity university. we worked hard to make this one happen. a month ago erica our new director and i got her staff members and we went up to the campus outdoor pool on a nice evening and goofed around in the pool, with students. pict #9 football practice was also going on down below the pool, and we could watch the team and cheerleaders and professors all out for the evening, reminded me of the 1940's. (although i wasnt around). so this friday night after dark the school van pulls up to camp, out come danielle staff, jessa staff, they are beside themselves to be in surf camp!!!!! out come, zuan xihaug he is from china, jose he is from paraguay, philip, helen and cleo....all is well, i have been here since thursday, surfing and getting everything setup.....weather will hold and be mild, and we have an east swell, putting up nice lines and on the outside 6-7 foot faces.... saturday morning at dawn and after cooffee and before any one else will get up, i go out pic #8 couldnt wait and it was supurb. later after leisurely break fast i take them up on the sand dunes for surf talk pic #7 . then a full day of practice and it was not long before cleo was getting standups, then jessa, then danielle, hellen a little while, philip imeadiatley, jose imediatley, ziang took him awhile. we surfed all day, excellent camp. pic #6 . after dinner we carved this pumbkin and choose danielle to surf it tomorrow, a trinity 4 year tradition, you have to wear it on your head and ride a wave pic #5 , and pic #4 . every one is quite tired and go to bed kind of early pic #3 surfboards resting at night. pic #2 a night crab near the surfers sleeping cots. next morning sunday i get daneille out of bed and she goes out and we surf the outside sets, and coming in we both grab a 6 footer from outside and ride it side by side all the way to dry sand, she was extatic, and is a surfer girl from now on pic #1 also jose in this pic. he was getting every wave....soooooo fantabulous camp..........
