Hundreds take to the water in tribute of Hobie Alter for memorial paddle out at Doheny State Beach

Hundreds of surfers took to the water at Doheny State Beach in Dana Point, Calif. to pay tribute to Hobie Alter on Friday, April 18, 2014. I was there to capture the moments of this memorable day.
Here are a few.
