On July 11th, over 800 guests gathered at the Hyatt Regency in Huntington Beach to celebrate the therapeutic effects the ocean and surfing offer for those living with cystic fibrosis. It was a fun-filled night of great food, great music, silent auctions, live talks, and much, much more. Thanks to Laird Hamilton, Tom Curren, Dave Kalama, Jamie Mitchell, and everyone else who came out to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the evening raised a whopping $610,000 for life-saving medical research.
