Hi Everyone...
Hi Everyone...
I have some fun and exciting news! The "bust" I painted for Keep A Breast is traveling with other painted busts around FRANCE! The foundation is doing a world tour to promote Breast Cancer Awareness and an entire space was filled with beautiful art. The one I painted is the blue one in the window with the Hawaiian girl wearing a headdress of leaves and fish. So please enjoy. For more info go to www.keep-a-breast.org.
As for the "Save the Turtle" shirts I designed for www.loveaseaturtle.com, they are NOW AVAILABLE at www.bakeforoceanssake.com. Head over the the right side and click "Bake Shop". Whole Foods, Oceana.org, and King Arthur Flour are supporting these amazing young girls in their quest to save the turtles and have a healthy ocean through baking! I have attached the shirt photo. They are $18.00 and proceeds go to imms.org to help rehabilitate sick and injured Sea Turtles from the Gulf Coast tragedy. Thanks for your support and let me know how you like the shirts!
I also attached my newest Plumeria piece in acrylics. I will be exploring more in that media in the near future so get READY!!
Peace and Plumerias!

Photos from the paddle out for Erika Arvidson
Photos submitted by Bill Grey
Thanks to everybody who helped out and attended the paddle out, showing support for our fellow member Jon and his family. It was very nice day to remember Erika and celebrate her life with friends and family. There were kind words and beautiful music at the gathering. And the large waves made the paddle out a bit challenging.
Here are some photos that Bill took. Click on the thumbnail for a larger view.

Be a good example by remembering to always try and follow the basic surfing "Rules Of The Road"
Whether you are surfing at Doheny or another break, remember that you are a representative of the D.L.S.A. So set a good example on how to be a courteous and safe surfer. Be a mentor and show everybody your aloha spirit as well as how to respect other surfers and the ocean. And remember to always pass off a few waves to the groms and less experienced surfers. It will stoke them out as well as teach them to do the same to others.

At the ASP sanctioned SIMA Surfing America National Championship Finals held at
the Huntington Beach Pier on August 25th and 26th, D.L.S.A. Competition Team members
took home 6 of the 28 awards given out in 7 divisions.
Glen Tilly (blue)
The contest featured the top surfers from all over the United States and included
regional champions from the Western Surfing Association, the National Scholastic
Surfing Association, WSA Prime, Eastern Surfing Association, Gulf Surfing Association and Hawaiian Surfing Association.
Josh Reposo (white), Gabe fembres (yellow)
The 2 days were filled with a very high level of surfing from all the competitors, with incredible performances in large surf. There were consistant big sets along with waist to shoulder high waves, with at least one big clean up set coming through in each heat. Many heats with lots of big dumping surf which made it very exciting to watch the competitors make the most of their heats in the challenging surf.
Michelle Bautista Layton (Blue), Rachael Tilly (Red)
In that light there were a lot of big hits and gravity defying drop in's that kept all the
spectators very entertained and appreciative of the various performances given in every heat. And after the dust settled, the D.L.S.A. Members competing took home the following National Rankings: Masters Mens Shortboard - Glen Tilly 3rd Place.
Mens Shortboard - Matt Jenson 4th Place. Open Mens Longboard - Josh Reposo 2nd Place and Gabe Fembres 3rd Place. Jr Women Longboard - Michelle Bautista Layton 2nd Place and, Rachael Tilly 4th Place. Congrats to all of these members on your national rankings! Way to represent the D.L.S.A!

D.L.S.A, Members help save a fellow
surfer's life in Seal Beach
On Sunday January 18th Bobby Knox and Chuck McElvain were instrumental in saving the life of a fellow surfer at the river jetties in Seal Beach. While surfing and having fun with a group of other D.L.S.A. Members they witnessed another surfer experiencing a seizure right after riding a wave. Before they could reach the person in distress, the gentleman ended up face down and drowning. When he was turned over the man was lifeless and not breathing. Thinking quickly and enlisting the help of other nearby surfers, they ended up being able to float the man on some boards while a lady climbed on top and started chest compressions while bringing him to shore. And due to the fast emergency treatment they were able to clear the man's lungs of a lot of water and restart his breathing. Soon after the man was brought to the beach by the group of lifesavers, lifeguards and paramedics soon arrived. The lifeguard stated that without the fast action by our fellow club members and other good Samaritans the man would not be alive at this time. To see both print and a tv news report about this event go to: http://www.ocregister.com/articles/beach-surf-surfers-2284803-lifeguards-water and http://www.cbs2.com/video/?id=90193@kcbs.dayport.com
Also please check the website in the future for a club CPR Class date. The club sponsored one a couple of years ago and it is time to do it again. It is something that we all should know in case the need to help someone arises.
