On the day we visited the surf was up. There was a ton of surfers there which was good because I my mission was to get some pictures of them. If we had any for thought we would have worn our bathing suits…. Didn’t really matter in my case since I was already wet! While driving through the parking lot we spotted a “kid” surfing and he looked really good. Parking took several minutes and we were still watching the surfer. After our second pass in the parking lot we realized that the “kid” was really a dwarf. He was amazing to watch. One of my friends, Beverly who is 6’2 really wanted to get her picture with him. We got out of the rented car and started walking on the beach.
I need to note the sand was very fine and a total different texture than the sand at the beach behind the Hilton. I didn’t take any sand, as much as I wanted to, because I heard if you took anything from the island it was bad luck.
While walking on the beach we did see a kid on a boogie board run out into the surf, hit a wave and did a 360 degree flip in the air. It was spectacular to see. I asked him could you do that again I am sure my friend would love to get it on video? He said he would try later.
I didn’t know if he hurt himself on the last pass, he was practicing for some contest and thought we were scouts or he wasn’t really supposed to be there and he was afraid to be captured on tape.
We thought we lost the dwarf surfer but was able to find him again and ask him for his photo. I started to put my camera up and turned to ask Bev is she would like to get in the shot which she did. Actually she thought he was so cute she wanted to pick him up, but we didn’t ask him that. We thought he might get offended. We left and started back the opposite way to catch up with the rest of our party.
