Stand Up Paddle Surf Quote 1/25/2007

Kyle and I met up at kaulapapas for a afternoon Stand Up Paddle Surf session. Kyle already surfed this morning and took Ron House’s standamaran out for a long paddle. The surf- small- again. But the air was warm and the wind wasn’t too bad so why not.
So it’s January and [...]

Back in black

I pulled out the wetsuit for this morning. It’s been acting like January lately, except for the large winter swells peeling down the coast. With surf being small and chilly winds I’ve been lazy to Stand Up Paddle Surf but ambitious to get some work done.
The calendar of events that welcome Stand Up [...]

By the early morning moon light

So Kyle and I had a packed day and needed to get in a good Stand Up Paddle Surf session in early, early dark thirty. We paddled out of kaulapapa and headed north again to the same spot yesterday. The water was still real clear and with the moon light bouncing off the [...]

Kyle and I kept on hoe [...]
