Cocoa Beach, Florida - Lady luck was mine as I happened to hear about the Kidney Foundation's 24th annual Cocoa Beach Surf Company NKF Pro-Am Surfing Festival. It is the largest nonprofit surf contest in the country and attracts thousands of spectators. Traveling throughout Florida for Starboard SUP has proven two things to me, 1. There are really fun waves to surf in Florida and 2. Aloha is alive and well! Started by Rich Salik, a Cocoa Beach resident and former professional surfer, the surf fest raises funds for patients in need of kidney transplants or who are on dialysis. This year's event included competitive SUP and tandem surfing in addition to its regular program and the SUPers represented well as you can see. |
