Ben Gore

After skating, we stayed at Ben Gore’s house in Pompano. I think this was the highlight of the trip for everyone. His family cooked everyone dinner, we had a bonfire, beers, a boat ride, and they hooked everyone up with a spot to sleep. Thank you so much for the hospitality, Ben and Family!
