Surf Fiesta Benefits Jimmy Miller Foundation

South Bay surfers raise money and awareness at the 6th annual Jimmy Miller Surf Fiesta.

Surfers young and old gathered at El Porto Beach early Wednesday morning for a bit of fun at the Jimmy Miller Surf Fiesta. Proceeds from the annual event benefit the Jimmy Miller Memorial Foundation, a non-profit that teaches healing through surfing and ocean-related activities.
