It was also my first time sand surfing. I'm 6'3 and was a little tall for the board but still had fun. Darcy was also great hosting that event.”

Lunch took over an hour from when we arrived to get food. We ended up having it put in a takeout box since we had to get started back if we were going to get back to the boat on time.”
