That looks like a Honda Fit, and wasn't one of their commercials showing how a surf board could "fit" inside. I don't think they meant for it to be loaded quite that way, though. :twisted:

Brings new meaning to the derogatory phrase, "highway surfer."

Funny (to all but the driver, of course) -- but it would be a better picture if everything were wet, as if a wave had just come by. :D:

While SGT was on their Fall break we held the inaugural Keith Dinsmoor Trophy Regatta. We named it after a guy who had run the junior sailing program about ten years ago. His one dream, that didn't happen while he ran the program, was to assemble a junior sailing team. We put one together this year.

The other interesting thing about the regatta's name is most stuff gets named for someone that's croaked. In this case he's still alive and was pretty emotional when he found out what we'd done.

Anyway, here's some pics.

Here's the team. The big kid on the right is one of our coaches and probably the best sailor on Maui.

Action at the weather mark.

The kids put on a good show for the cruisers.
