Thanks everyone for helping out and returning Humphrey back to his home.

Recently Noah Neilson, son of local shaper Tom Neilson, broke his neck.  He is doing okay, but needs help with medical bills.

There will be a surf contest, BBQ, and raffle to raise money for Noah July 17th behind Neilson Surf Shop 3501 S A1A, Cocoa Beach.  The contest starts at 8:00 AM, entry is $25.  So whether you want to surf the contest or just hang out at the beach to support a local in need, plan to attend!  You can pre register at the shop, by making a donation in the amount of the entry fee. Cash or Check (made out to Noah Neilson.) There will also be a pre registration party Friday the 16th at Neilson Surf Shop from 5-8pm  You can also get a raffle ticket for a sweet Neilson longboard at the shop.

"This will be a family event. So bring your family and friends, basically any and everyone you can, to hang out on the beach. We will be raffling off the Longboard as well as a ton of other goodies, including another surfboard, traction pads, leashes, coupons from a lot of local vendors, gift baskets, gift certificates, original artwork, ... "

If you can't make the contest, a link to Paypal has been set up to accept donations. Paypal Link
