New Racing Paddleboard



We were at Mugu's Family Beach last week and La took some pictures of me paddling the new board.

The right tool for the right conditions - standup paddling has filled a tremendous void in my surfing life - the flat, no wind days (of which there are more than not).

In days past, if confronted with glass conditions I would cry "skunk" and find landlocked activities to pursue (while being grumpy). NOW - flat days are for developing technique and getting mileage under the belt!!!

January 17th is the first SUP race I'll take this board to - looking forward to "spanking" everyone (a figure of speech from the action of the paddle - not to be taken literally)!!!!

Oh, and Marlon digs onageri (rice balls in nori)!!!
