BASK Meeting for August, 2004
September 25, 2004
By: Dean McCully

Cowabunga, Dude! Pictures from the Santa Cruz Surf Contest. Dennis Judson, of Santa Cruz Surf Contest fame, tells us everything we wanted to know about kayak surfing at the August 2004 BASK General meeting. Also on the agenda were Mike Higgins illuminating us about Wave Dynamics in the Surf Zone (with Ken Manschardt as his trusty demo dude), and KayaknKen Mahschardt on Tides and Currents. Pizza, mingling, looking at pictures, learning about the surf. What could be a better way to spend the 4th Wednesday of the month???? (Note, here are some pictures from the Santa Cruz Surf Contest.
