@MT/hellokittiemama,

Oh wow—I feel so lucky we got an early time. The waves were huge, which was quite fine as far as Charlie was concerned….. hope we can meet you on the beach next time.

Oh glad you guys got to surf!!!! yay for charlie

We’ve done Surfers Healing for the past 3 years plus the POAC surfs.

But I’m OK with that because I’d much rather have him be safe and with us then risking it!!!
