Surf's Up!

On an early morning in November, Mr. Klassen took a few boys surfing. They breakfasted at Tim Hortons and, knowing by then that the surf reports weren't positive, the boys kept their hopes up. “It ended up being an 'epic' day with near perfect waves, little wind and no crowds.” The group was made up of 3 Californians and 1 Mexican hosted by a Canadian surfer.  They managed well and neoprene wetsuits made the cold water irrelevant.  Mr. Klassen said that, “We were exhausted after two hours of paddling and surfing in the water.  This was an outstanding day of living in the moment with a diverse group of kids coming from different parts of the continent that all touch the Pacific.  As they say in Costa Rica, 'Pura Vida'.”
