The third annual Outer Banks Surfrider Paddleboard Contest drew 34

competitors Sunday to the Kill Devil Hills oceanfront. Above,

participants in the longboard division line up for a photo before

taking to the waves. Ed Zawojski, 28, of Kill Devil Hills, won that

division, traveling a mile on his 12-foot, 9-inch surfboard in 13.29

minutes. At right, contestants swim for the finish line. Their $15

entry fees in three divisions - longboard, shortboard and

paddleboard - raised money for the Surfrider Foundation, a nonprofit

environmental group. by CNB
