Skeletons on surfboards — and an inflatable squirrel too

Surfers showed up decked out as superheroes, spooky goblins and characters of all kinds.
The Blackies Halloween Surf Classic is the one time each year that surfers don’t mind riding party waves, with droves of them decked out Saturday, Oct. 26, smiling, hooting and hollering as they rode toward shore.
