I spent the entire day at Ron Jon's Easter Surf Festival today and it was awesome. When I first got there they were finishing up paddleboard races. Then they had the men’s professional longboarding. The waves were only so-so but the surfers did a great job of catching them. I took my camera and the telephoto lens and took lots and lots of pictures. Unfortunately, it seems that the UF Card I used corrupted because technology hates me and so I only have the pictures I took after I filled up the first 2GB card. There were a couple of good ones of surfers hanging five. If you were wondering what the Easter bunny does before he hides eggs, he goes surfing (pictures of which were also on the corrupt CF card).
At noon they had a world championship stunt pilot flying and he did all of the crazy things where it looks like the plane is falling out of the sky and he made shapes with his exhaust.
I walked around to all of the vendors sponsoring the event and I got a tote bag from Geico, a Ron Jon Frisbee, and a bottle of suntan lotion from Banana Boat. I also got an “official” event posters signed by a bunch of surfers and an autographed photo of Ryan Helm. Since I’ve never really followed professional surfing I have no idea who any of these people are but it was a lot of fun anyways.
