Back With a Bang?

Reasons don't matter.  Laughter does.


 

Done?

It is the end of something simple and the beginning of everything else.

Second Annual Paddle for Sorel - This Saturday!

This Saturday, May 25, is the Second Annual Paddle for Sorel!  Great cause for great people in a great place.  Please come one and all.  There will be food, a raffle, tons of cool stuff and even a new 9'0" Joe Bark Longboard up for the taking.  This is not a race but rather a fun Santa Barbara paddle for one-and-all.  All skill levels & all paddling crafts (SUPs, traditional, dories, OCs, you name it) will be represented in a good time event.

Please come join us!

Thanks for looking and we look forward to seeing you there!

Molokai - Firsts

This is the first in the Fin Film Company films on Molokai.  From last year's race.

It sucks to hype yourself, but... well... this is a blog after all and I dig this screen grab:

At the start, racing Patrick Dolan who was teamed with Eric Abbott.
Unfortunately, their boat broke down and they had to pull out.
Patrick & I were flying at the start, though.

So, without further ado, the first of the FFC films...

Jackson

This man is impressive.  He is an Australian ex-pat living in a country (Singapore) with no other major paddlers.  He does this alone.  He trains in the flats, without any real bump to speak of.

And he consistently is a top 3 finisher at Molokai.

Jackson English is f-ing impressive.




Go Jackson.

Molokai is coming

Last year was incredible.  Did a relay with Dan Van Dyke and managed to pull a 1st in our class (old dudes).  We had a lot of fun, and it was a great weekend with friends, warm water & the sun.


The following is a new video from Chris Aguilar showing some highlights from everyone's race last year.  Inspiring.
