Bob extended the yearly offer to have the Cymer surf team come to his parents’ home in La Jolla Shores Thursday evening for a surf and deck party.

The surf was lacking in, well, surf which meant more time for onshore fun such as Frisbee and hot tubbing.

| Sunset from the deck. Damn, Life is Good. |
I brought 2 Pizza Port growlers and a guest growler from Atrifex, Johnny Johur’s brewery in San Clemente. Johnny’s dad, John, delivered the growler to Cymer.
 |
| Delivered to work! |
Maddie brought Cymer surf team sweatshirts (thanks!) and Sara/Chris brought Pizza Port pizzas (more thanks!). Missing was Matt Lake and his various musical instruments (he was in NY on vacation).
Earlier in the week, Silva emailed saying I am invited to the Saturday night VIP party.

The party is hosted at Fernando Aguerre’s home in La Jolla. And what a home Fernando has! I would guess there were 70+ surfboards on the walls, many signed by the likes of Kelly Slater, Lisa Anderson, Robert August, Joel Tudor, Bruce and Andy Irons (world Champions) and accompanying pics.

Fernando was quite successful in the surfing apparel industry then sold out to run surf championship contests and philanthropy work.
 |
| Diego Maradona & Lionel Messi's signed jerseys. Can you tell Fernando is from Argentina? |
Several notable local artists were painting, music being played, and food was served. The guest list contained many surfing legends and obviously some notable cancer researchers that surf.

Sunday was the surfing event at Scripps Pier. Poor surf conditions continued so I chose to not bring my board but would cheer on the Cymer Surf Team. The team did well enough to move to the finals.

| Graham, Michael, Maddie, Bob and Legend. |

| Matt Lake wasn't at the Luau, but his board was. |
