Huntington Beach, Vans Surfing US Open






I went to the beach yesterday. I had been wanting to go for a long time. A LOONG time. It was great because I looked up surfing competitions going on this summer and found out that the Vans Surfing US Open was starting this last weekend. So obviously I went! To make things even more exciting we got up really early to get a head start and score a sweet parking spot. It all paid off. We were able to get to Huntington Beach in an hour and found a great spot by the beach entrance. Winner!


While my friend went biking I headed over to the grandstand and pier to watch the competition. I don't know much about surfing or competing but I love it none the less. It only fueled my passion to surf and soak up the salt water.

It was only the beginning of the men's trials that I saw but it was gnarly all the same. I was a nerd and even bought a sweater from the Vans store. Ha! I developed several more freckles during the day and my hair, sigh, was magical. Seriously, I love what the ocean does to my skin and hair. For those reasons alone I would live on the ocean. The curls, the texture, the taste. Amazing.

Here are a few things that I took pictures of from the day:

So...I think God is calling you to the islands one day. Between your improv-style teaching, the ocean, your hair. I think you're probably made for it.
