Team Body Glove Wrap Up Dinner Party

Team Body Glove finished the trip off on a high note.  After having a good showing at the 2012 Da Hui Backdoor shootout: Jamie O'Brien placed 2nd in the individuals and Team Body Glove of Cheyne Magnusson, Anthony Walsh, Alex Gray and Jamie O'Brien  place third.  Not bad.  So to wrap it up we headed down to Lei Lei's for food, drinks and fun.

The night started out with some heated Ping Pong matches.

Once at Lei Lei's the Mai Tai's were on order.

Wednesday Morning Surf

Team Body Glove was out this morning shooting again with Alex Gray, Matt Chernega and Matt Pagan in the South Bay. Really good weather and lots of waves. The boys were scoring barrels all morning.

Matt Pagan pulled up at the same time I did so he suited up and ran out to get in the line up with Alex and Matt.
