Sal, always great to see you at the beach! You always seem to capture such great images! I really loved your Vietnam pics, as they remind me of my own deployment pics with the marines in the 80's. You look too young to be a Vietnam Vet! God Bless you Sal, thank you so much for your service to this great country and our shared surfing community. Keep shooting you door gunner.

Hi Sal,

Thank you for inviting me to visit your website. You've some terrific action shots and can see the passion in your work. I also enjoyed looking at your images from Viet Nam. My Dad was a WWII vet, and was active with American Legion. He was always thrilled to have Viet Nam vets join and participate the organization, and was proud of their service. Thank you for doing so, Santos.
