COCOA BEACH --

Massive crowds were at the beach Saturday morning all along the coast.

The National Kidney Foundation Surf Festival is under way in Cocoa Beach.

There have been no major problems reported so far.

The water looks calm, especially compared to the last two days. However, rip currents are still out there and still a threat.

"Yesterday was absolutely incredible and it looks like the surfers are getting the tail end of it,” said Justin Chamberlin, beachgoer. “Hopefully, it will bump up this afternoon, and we can see more of these radical maneuvers."

The festival will continue until Monday.

One-hundred percent of the money raised goes to the National Kidney Foundation.
