COCOA BEACH, Fla. (October 20, 2008) - The Bright House Networks World Skin Cancer Foundation's Third Annual Fall Classic - a month-long series of outdoor special events to raise awareness and funding for the fight against skin cancer - will once again conclude with the Sean and Skippy Slater Invitational Surf Contest, the weekend of November 7 - 9, at the Hilton Cocoa Beach. The event is being presented by The Cocoa Beach Surf Company and Ocean Potion.

The Slater Invitational will be highlighted by the participation of the Slaters' brother and surfing superstar Kelly Slater, who recently won a record ninth surfing world championship. The return to Cocoa Beach will be Kelly Slater's first visit to his hometown since clinching the milestone surfing title and will put the crowning touch on the Foundation's 2008 Fall Classic, which is already in full swing.

On the morning of June 19th, 2008, Cocoa Beach resident Justin DeBree embarked on a challenging 18 day journey from Key Biscayne, FL up the East Coast to St. Mary's, Georgia. The expedition's goal is to raise money and awareness while promoting the World Skin Cancer Foundation's mission. The grueling 398 mile long journey will be done entirely on a stand up paddle board.

The last I was able to check Justin had made it all the way to St Augustine, and was anxious to finish up the last couple of legs. I've done the distance in a catamaran averaging over 10 knots and it is a struggle. I can't imagine getting on a SUP every day and putting in the miles like he has. Incredible.

The reason Justin is doing this (using his precious vacation time) is to bring awareness to skin cancer. As surfers even if you are careful with sunscreen, after years of exposure you are going to become familiar with the skin doctor. (I just had a biopsy myself a few weeks ago).

So take a look at this link and hit the "make a donation" link and give a few bucks to the World Skin Cancer Foundation. Keep it going Justin!
