These kids surf better than you
« on: May 27, 2016, 04:10:18 PM »
And are probably faster on a raceboard   ;D

Anthony Vela and Candice Appleby held their 4th annual SUP Fiesta a couple weeks ago. New format, 2 days at 2 locations. Day 1 was at the NAC in Newport and was all racing. Day 2 was at Bolsa Chica and was all surfing. Really awesome to see them growing these two aspects of the sport at the youth level. Kids travel from all over the globe to participate. Anthony and Candice do it out of the pure enjoyment to see these smiles.

The evolution of the line-up. Once the kids think it's cool, it is. And the concept of a 'kids race' has changed too.

Thanks kaya.... that was a great vid!

The surf line-up will change when the groms take to the paddle!
Pretty cool to watch how mature the yougest kids are in their surfing...

I love kid-stoke... it's so healthy, and such a good thing for a kid to have a focus on something that will enrich them for life.

When does your program start?
Hey.... that's a good idea. hummmmm

Nothing better than sharing your passion with your kids. You know he's telling his buddies, 'Ya I surf with my dad all the time!'
