Check out our Sandbridge Hei Hei video!
We put together some clips from the race on October 9, which turned out to be probably the most beautiful day of the year so far. A small rolling swell, light offshore winds and a groomed sea surface made for a fast track.
Big thanks to Anne and Bill Gassett for hosting the race and the benefiting charities Virginia Aquarium Stranding Team and Surfer's Healing VB for giving it a great cause.
Congrats to Doug Ellis for dominating on the Walden 12'6 racer. Also included in the video are big boss man Rob Lindauer and team rider Eric Coulson snagging second and third place in their respective divisions.
Enjoy! -- S&A

Surf and Adventure team takes second at March of Dimes
After what felt like a never-ending run of rainy days, the skies mercifully broke for the running of the ninth annual Ride For A Cause March of Dimes surf contest, making for crisp-but-beautiful day on the beach in front of the Sandbridge Market.
The event was previously run by friend-of-the-shop Brett Carey, but his medical career has taken him to Maui (that works!), leaving the contest in the hands of close friend Dylan of Pungo Board House. And after sorting through the onslaught of beach entries -- a great problem to have for a charity contest -- Mother Nature took care of the rest with a consistent waist- to chest-high windswell for the duration of the event.
Everyone who posted up on the beach for the competition felt the relaxed, friendly atmosphere created by those who love and share the Sandbridge community.
But in the water, the contestants pushed the competitive limits as the heat sheets read like stacked ECSC divisions. Some real deal rippers turned out to get their hands on the cash prize for open shortboard, in turn raising solid figures for the March of Dimes.
Big thanks to Dylan at PBH for carrying on this radical Sandbridge tradition!
Surf and Adventure riders turned in another solid competitive performance, as the crew took second place in the team division. Led by a 10-point performance by Ricky Judalena -- ripping a 10'0 Walden with powerful lip hits, floaters and lengthy noserides -- a barrel from John Streit, a huge tailblow by Max Pietrzak and solid moves from Sam Cahill, Laney Brooks and Cody Mathews; S&A took top billing among local shop teams including PBH, Juice Box Surf and 17th Street.
Individually, Ricky and Sam claimed first and second, respectively, in open longboard. In an uber-competitive open shortboard division; Sam, Max and Cody were ousted in the preliminaries. John was able to advance to the quarters before taking a bow.
Enjoy these images captured from contest day!
