It's A Water World.

At The Olympics.

Wednesday Wipeout.

Even world class athletes wipeout!
If our intrepid photographer hadn't brought his camera with him, this glorious event would have been lost forever. But now it will live on in the digital universe for eternity .

More kooks on the water.
Brought to you by the guy who invented sit-on-top roto-molded kayaks.

Bonnie, It's Not Unusual To See Paddle Boarders On The Bay.

They're several of the them paddling along the water front, and none of them want to go out to the break and hang ten. I had to scour my photos to find a photo of a guy paddling by me. (I thought I took more.)

CLC sells plans or a kit for paddle boards.

What You Won't See In The Olympics.

Stand Up Bamboo Punting!

Fish On Fridays.

You never know who you are going to meet when you go out for a paddle.
Holy moly Joe, that's a big fish! Good thing he only eats plankton.

Get Your Butts Off That Park Bench, And Out Onto The Water!

I wonder if this is what the Tillerman meant?
Mind you, it's not hanging out with the 1% down in Caberete.

Two Days To Go!

Santa of the day.
Have you got all the presents for your keiki, family and friends? Santa is about to hit the beach.

What Else Is A Laser Good For?

I wonder, do you think the Tillerman is a SUL (Stand Up Laser) paddler?

Call Me Crazy.

But, I don't think I would go paddling with a shark off to my side. I'm just saying.

Paddling Across The Straits Of Gibraltar. (Round Trip)

El 12 de junio de 2007 Trampalones organiza el primer doble cruce del Estrecho de Gibraltar en Kayak. Tras más de 9 horas de travesía los participantes alcanzaron de nuevo las costas españolas. Colabora la revista CO3.

Mi amigo, Jose Maria Donoso Buerba - "Los marroquies no nos dejaron desembarcar porque la patrullera que llevamos no hizo bien el protocolo de las banderas , a 400 mts de la orilla damos la vuelta sin descansar solo hacer pis en el agua , y de vuelta a la costa española , no sabiamos lo que nos esperaba a la vuelta de viento y corrientes , las olas rompian por todos lados solo llegamos la persona que va solo en la piragua con barba y nosotros , los demas los recogio la lancha , por cansancio heridas en las manos etc... Tuvimos una deriva de 16 kms aparecimos en una playa de algeciras."

Oscar Shows Us How It's Done.

Starring, 11 time winner of The Molokai Challenge, Oscar Chalupsky.
I bet you he doesn't do yoga on his surfski.

SUP Boot Camp?

I'm really at a loss as to why working out on a paddle board, rather than paddling, is popular. (..and I don't mean from a viewer's perspective.)

Dedicated!

BIRTHRIGHT from Sean Mullens on Vimeo.

Some guys are just fucking dedicated. Where most see roadblocks, they see challenges. Unless you're in the ground, so stop whining, and get out onto the water.

What's Up Dog?

Is this where "dog paddle" came from?

Surfing Photo Of The Day. "David Wells At Fort Point."

I grabbed and altered this photo from David Wells' Facebook page.
Dog, you really are a Waterhound!

Technique.

Hmmmmmm. Todd can you help us out?
East Beach.

Mahalo to Todd and StandUpPaddleSurf.net.

I Almost Forgot.

Have a great weekend, and try to get out onto the water.
