I'm back from the darkest pits of the belly of the beast. Thank god for B.T and Danny, who saved me from mere death. But sad to say, due to the fact that they didn't cut me out and only waited for the Shark to spit me out, they didn't get the cash reward. So now we're here together to catch Oopuola and get some money... Oh there he is, got to go!

• Sean and Dave and everyone at O'Neill and the pro surfers who befriended our young men. Thanks for inviting us to this magnificent event and for making us all feel like VIPs.
  
  
• Loiam at Sharks Cove Surf shop whose generosity of mind and spirit saw us through the entire trip with boards to use, advice on surf spots, a personal friend to cheer on in the contest and the first expressions of welcoming to the North Shore
• 
  
• Dave at Koa Kai Outrigger Canoe Club for a day we will never forget. You have a way of making people feel that they can do anything. Now the young men are insisting that Boarding House Mentors ad Outrigger canoing to our activities.
• Uncle Bryan for being Uncle Bryan. We met a living legend with the true aloha spirit.
• Steve Sherman of Surfing Mag for deep and spirited conversation and taking a genuine interest in our young people - the ones on the trip and the ones back home.
  
• Mother Ocean for sending us the biggest waves we've ever seen so that we could stand in awe of the world's greatest surfers.

The boys have been practicing in the fast waves of El Porto...ready for Hawaii. Entertaining everyone on the beach with their yelps of enthusiasm as they go over the falls and wipe out!
Creon, Danny and BT will be sending you all messages from Hawaii soon.
