WB Surf Camp Surfer of the Week for October 20th, 2011: Sawyer Panara

Sawyer came down to WB Surf Camp Teen Overnight this past summer from Raleigh and was an absolute joy! Her smile never disappeared once she got here, met her fellow campers, and jumped in the water and onto a surf board. She was the ideal camper, as she asked great questions throughout the week, was extremely helpful and encouraging to the instructors and her fellow campers, and had a great sense of humor. Always curious to see how she could improve her skills, and do her part on the team, Sawyer stood out as one of the lights amongst our group. We can’t wait to see her and surf with her again!
