Kudos goes to the champ of the trip, Lauren (pictured first).  Lauren gave us all a lesson in the necessity of booties by kicking his fin at Tikis, requiring him to get stitches and spending the rest of the trip out of the water.  An amazing patient, Lauren didn't complain once and held his head high through tales of smoking waves from other guests, while he hung on the island and watched videos... 

Variable winds had us surfing all over the place again, and the last day of the trip saw a sizable SW swell deliver some bombs at BankVaults.  We are proud of the guests waxing up their big boards and stepping up to the plate.  That's the reason you bring the big boards, right?
