Something Willie This Way Comes

Willie off the hook at 'The Hook' in Santa Cruz
OK Half Moon Bay Surf Club- here is who is coming up the line to compete in the coming years. Willie Eagleton 8th grader in Santa Cruz, has the aloha spirit and kills the competition with his athletic surf style. Word has it his mom, (Beverly's pal Ellen), is talkin' trash about Half Moon Bay, so get ready!
Click Willie's name for more pictures of him on Surfline.

UPDATE: The ISF junior surfers are arriving from Santa Cruz to take on HMB Dec 21st at the Jetty. Be there...

The Day the Contest Was Called Because it was TOO BIG

The Cougars Surf team showed up at Santa Cruz, Steamer Lane for the contest (the day after Mavericks) and the contest was called off- just too darn big! So what does the team do? Surf all day of course, charging huge waves, and getting swept by an intense current almost to the pier after each ride, fighting to paddle to the steps and walking all the way back to try again and generally having a blast all day long. Check here for more pictures of the team on this and other days.

Surfing Cougars Win!

Santa Crux is surf city and the surf team to beat. Which is what the Surfing Cougars did in the team's second meet. WOW. Coaches and kids had a lot to be proud about in a day of inconsistent surf at The Hook. Everyone gave their all,showed the aloha spirit and most important had a blast. The team is really coming on strong!
A nice write up in the Review here.
