Oceanside Longboard Surf Contest and Beach Festival
Every year Oceanside hosts the Oceanside Longboard Surf Contest and Beach Festival, and in 2014 it was held in memory of Dan “Skydog” Highland. On the last day of the contest, August 3rd, we held a memorial paddle out (see below) in honor of Dan.
Paddle Out • Oceanside Pier • August 3, 2014. The sun came out just as we arrived in the outriggers!
Military Ceremony and Burial • Miramar National Cemetery • August 4, 2014
Reception • Beach Break Café • Oceanside • August 4, 2014
