Does anyone know what this gathering was about this morning?
A big group of surfers, in a circle and holding hands, was in the water at about 10:30am.
It looked like a memorial service of some kind - possibly for Stuart Vowles?

are you sure they were surfers?
Yes, Harsha they were surfers - they were all sitting on surfboards and we could see others paddling out to join them.
it's a sea picnic!
lol Blessing :)
maybe they were calling up Dagon...
If so, stay away from the local fish restaurants for a few days ; )
nice circle..
we had cranky and messy waves today in telaviv - i missed the brief window in time that they were decent..
bummer..
:(
Yes, we're surfers. Stuart was a keen surfer. The circle/memorial event is called a Paddle Out. Not a particularly sophisticated name but surfers are not known for being a particularly sophisticated bunch!
Nice photo.
Thanks Surf Camel - nice to get a straight answer from someone who knows!
A great tribute to Stuart.
BTW - if you know of anyone who lost a watch at that event, we found one washed up on the beach later that afternoon. They can email me at matdxb(at)freenet.de to identify it!
Thanks very much for the watch information. I've sent you an email.
