Hello everyone,
Here is a link to the video that Chris Aguliar of Soul Surf Media Productions made about the Paddle 4 Japan that Jodie Nelson and I did together during the Catalina Challenge Relay. Chris did an incredible job with this little video. It captured what we were trying to do perfectly. This wasn’t about us. It took nothing for Jodie Nelson and I to wear the t-shirts in support of Japan. Continue reading ‘Catalina Challenge with Jodie and Jen for Japan’

Dear Friends,
It’s time again for a free clinic and board demo.
We are expecting a big turnout, so if you have a board, please bring your own and join the free clinic. If you are demoing boards, please don’t be greedy and limit your time per demo board to 10 minutes so everyone gets the chance to try different boards. We are planning to strictly enforce this rule and will remove offenders from the free demo.

I’ve had a few sessions on the Starboard 10′5″ Wide Point SUP and so far it turns and surfs pretty good for such a wide board. The conditions I rode this board in were small waves, chest high at the most. I haven’t had time to get out to the north shore lately and the south shore has been pretty small for winter surf. My first impression for this board is that it looks very slick with the paint job and sandwich construction.
