The guy was a walking to his car when his wife asked him to grab something inside. And as he was walking inside the rock fell on his car. If he did not have to go grab something he would have been in the car when it fell.

The 29th Annual Venice surf-A-Thon was a great success!

We had over 60 athletes signed up, and we completed our event in perfect conditions but small waves!

After everything was all said and done, we had a surplus that we are donating to 2 charities, the first charity we have dontated to is Casa Del Pastor.



Casa Del Pastor is a home in Baja California, Mexico for women and their children who are abandoned and abused. Its goal is to minister to their spiritual needs while helping with their physical needs.



These was an online donation, but we decided to create this checks to commemorate this day!
