The USA surf team has returned from Hossegor, France after participating in the Quiksilver ISA Junior World Championships. We didn't get what we had hoped for but we didn't come home emtpy handed either. The USA surf team is really coming together in so many different ways. Every year there are new faces and challenges. Sage, Amy, and Demi were incredible and this was their last year on the USA surf team. I know I came away with not only a couple of medals around my neck but with a new experience. I had never been to France so that was cool. It wasn't at all what I had expected. I've posted a few photos from the trip and I hope you'll enjoy them.
