"Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds." ~ Gordon Hinckley

rough day today but still stoked on my first SUP world tour event. Made it to top 16 in main event but didn't advance past quarter finals. Plus finished 3rd in Nakama Kai youth event. Thank you everyone.

Another beautiful fall morning. Time to take Beau for a brisk walk!
Enjoy your Sunday all!

SUPing daily thru the PNW winter YES

New Creed board arrived! Wicked board from an awesome company! Thanks to Randy and all Creed staff!

Thank you Gamecock Nation for an AWESOME finish to an incredible football season!

Am getting ready for the Sept. 15 Block Island Paddle. As a happy bay paddler, doing an ocean crossing will be a little daunting. But since I'll be with friends, it will be awesome. All for charity. P4H.org, and my team is Pirate Rox 2012 if
you'd like to donate.

So I did OK in the DaHui Ho he'e Nalu July 4th, 102nd out of 363 SUPs. 6th in age/class. Which only makes me want to train harder...to wit this DW lesson from Robert Stehlik, owner of Blue Planet. Robert is a great racer & instructor, check out the vid he took & put together of Dalbert & I on our DW lesson on www.zenwaterman.com There's nothing like video to help you see what you're doing wrong.

ALOHA !!!
