SURFIN' SAFARI

Surfers from under the age of 10 to over 65 gathered at Long Sands Beach on Labor Day for the Eastern Surfing Association's Northern New England Surf Contest. Pictured are contestants from the Legends, Grand Masters and Menuhune (little people) categories. The local contest served as the steppingstone to the Eastern Championships, coming up this fall on Cape Hatteras. The event brought over 50 competitors along with their families and friends for a great day of surfing on Long Sands. The surfing gods cooperated with the best swell of the summer and warm water conditions throughout the holiday weekend.
