you know, we do a great job of teaching kids how to surf along w teaching them to have fun in our little world of Hodad‘s culture, but I figured out years ago that I could do a little more and last a lifetime - this was sent to me by one of Former campers
I get comments from them as they grow up and become adult adults. Most of the comments I get is oh my gosh, I’m the only one that can speak at my company during meetings or I’m the only one that can talk eloquently at my graduate school classes- thought I’d share this today probably one of the best athletes I’ve ever coached.

Hey Daddy O!!
I just wanted to tell you l just saw a patient at Warby Parker. They walked up to me and shook my hand and said, "hey that's a great handshake! I appreciate the eye contact"
Over a decade later I'll never forget "stand up straight, nice firm handshake and look them in the eye!"
Surf camp for the win! I just wanted to say thanks for giving us all awesome fundamentals!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours ! can’t wait for HODOS 17th summer !!
