The fuzzy surfers had a pretty good audience. I think there was almost twice as many people as last year! Seeing as this is only the second time the event has happened - I think next years gonna be huge!

Even though it was well attended people were having a pretty mellow time. It was great seeing folks really happy & totally enjoying the coast.
