This year’s event includes hours of free fun for the kids, including entertainment by Mr. Scott the Music Man, and Mr. Ray (Ray Anderson).  Kids will enjoy eco-friendly crafts, game and face painting, as well as learning (on-sand) surfing techniques from Summa Love Surfing and Yoga!



Summa Love Surfing and Yoga is always a favorite!
