Banning was a Carlsbad locale who loved to surf and surf he did! He had a heart as deep as the ocean and made friends easily everywhere he went. Banning is often happily spoke of in many. many conversations. He holds a huge place in the Hearts and Souls of countless people. Last year Ulises Thomas hosted a wonderful surf contest at Tamarack Beach in his Honor. People were so excited to gather withone another and continue toCELEBRATEhis LIFE. It was AWESOME !!
