Atlantic Paddle Surfing

Small this evening, but cleansed my soul....

2009-11-01T18:47:00.004-05:00

Finishing work after feeding 3,000 guests this weekend at the car show that was in town ,I was greeted with knee thigh perfect waves in the most colorful sunset and an even amazing full moon rise before it played hide and seek behind some stratus clouds.. Greg Smith was also out taking in the splendor and I took a few shots of him on some little waves. Although it was only an hour session on the Stand Up in natures wonder, my busy week was erased and my soul was cleansed after paddling and sliding down the line on my first wave.

Here is the current topic of Kainoa Beaupre sharing with us his spirit of Stand Up Paddling.. Cool site bookmark it and watch it evolve...

Quote from The Stand Up Project site;

''Kainoa is one of the most dynamic stand up paddlers around. I have never seen anyone get such strange looks while walking down the beach with his board. But those stares turn to ones of awe when he paddles out and starts riding waves. A good person with a big heart and lots of passion for the sport. Kainoa is defiantly one of a kind''

C4 Sub Vector 9-3 , 9-6 , & 10-0 Comparison with C4's Todd Bradley

2009-10-22T17:55:00.005-04:00

For all the C4 waterman Sub Vector fans, This is an interview I did with Todd Bradley over at the new C4 Waterman HQ on Coral Street. This video shows Todd explaining the difference between the original C4 9'3" Sub Vector and the new 9'6" and 10' Sub Vectors
Todd's Quote, ''The new C4 Sub Vector 9′6″ and '10-0" has a more progressive rocker for steeper, juicier waves. It’s also a bit thinner and narrower than the original 9′3″.

What a pretty morning

2009-10-19T08:23:00.004-04:00

Thigh high NE angled swell developed overnight. Fun little waves ' in a wetsuit' with air temps at 49*f at 7 am The swell passes us and heads south giving us a refraction wave.... We'll have fun anyway..

..................................................................................................

Quick brief Weather lesson for our fall/winter surf...

A LOW moving in the north east with tight isobars around the L.. (lines of equal pressure) The tighter the lines the stronger the winds. These winds from N to NE blow south over a 600-1000 mile fetch (or more) heading towards the SE coast of the US and Caribbean. The longer the fetch, the increased swell, period and duration of the waves on the beaches. This is why we get waves for us here and areas south and the Caribbean.. This is our winter wave pattern ...

So look for this scenario to set up thru the winter, see the buoy info in our area for wind, wave /period data and soon you can see a patterns develop and then you can expect when the waves will arrive. There are some weather links on the site to use as I do.. Thanks.... see you out there..

This morning I had the honor to paddle with Annette Vann The California native loved SUP boarding was able pick it up easily in the stiff NE breeze and currents. She experinced the thrill of paddle boarding and she's hooked..........

..... Later after lunch we has some fun little waves roll thru in the thigh high size with some larger waves every now and then. Today I received my new replaced Kialoa Methane paddle today just in time for the tide and to hit the surf.. The paddle felt good in my hands again. Jamie paddled out as friend Chas who tried to paddle in the ocean but found it hard to balance in the rolling water and waves.. Paddled for 3 hours and took a few pics of Jamie and one of Chas on his longboard. My Kiaola paddle and PSH are a perfect match fueling my passion for now.

2009-10-04T19:28:00.002-04:00

Received a call from 9 year old Sam Lesch wanting to go for a paddle today. Picked him and we headed to Palmetto Bay boat ramp for a mid afternoon paddle. We paddled over toward Wexford Locks and watched a dolphin follow us thru the cut. Sam did well and we just cruised around seeing lots of aquatic life. Great paddle with Sam.. Thanks Mom and Dad for allowing and trusting me with their son..

Looking at all the fish jump..

Awesome Fall day spent SUP'ing & Samantha Boyd ocean paddle

2009-09-29T20:28:00.005-04:00

Today I had the honor of sharing Stand Up Paddling with Samantha Boyd ( Sam ). Her second time on the SUP and first on the Ocean. Met early on the beach and paddled for a couple hours with Sam, Eric Rhuland, Eric's friend and Jesse. Winds offshore flattening out the surf made it easy to paddle. We experienced lots of sea life; lots of bait, sharks dolphins and skates and rays. .

Then Jesse and I did a 5-6 mile down winder in the afternoon. At one point Jesse and I encountered several pods of dolphins that hung with us for a while. The tide moved in and the tiny little waves began to break. We actually were able to catch the waves made possible by the Stand Ups.. Jesse and I spent 6 hours paddling this spectular fall day. Tonight ''Polynesian paralysis''' will set in..

Eric Rhuland paddles with C4's C-MAC ATB

2009-09-28T21:03:00.002-04:00

Eric called me and wanted to demo the C4 ATB Stand Up . We met at PB for a several mile paddle. He was demoing the board from OUTSIDE HILTON HEAD . http://outsidehiltonhead.com/paddleboarding/equipment.html

Wanting to add the board for his quiver ,we both paddled and tried the board. I have demoed the board several times its a good flat water paddler, great for beginners and advanced riders. The deck is recessed for comfortable stance. The rails are thick boxy with a slight tuck under the edge with a sharp edge bottom. Tail is pulled in and the rocker is great for out East coast waves. Its a stable, buoyant,wide nosed board great for all to enjoy. I'll have to try it in the surf..

Designed by Dave Parmenter in cooperation with Charlie MacArthur (C-Mac), part surfboard, part whitewater kayak, part skateboard, the the C4 Waterman C-Mac ATB is the first stand-up surfboard exclusively designed for Training, Cruising; as well as creative and radical hot dogging in the new but growing sport of stand-up whitewater paddling. New ground is broken every day at C4 Waterman. DESIGN NOTES: The 10'6" ATB incorporates the proven design components of the 10-6, with extra tail rocker to help manage the downstream flow of a river.

Length: 10'6"
Width: 29 1/2"
Thickness: 4 5/16"
Weight: 26 lbs.
Rounded Diamond Tail
Fin Array: 2 X 1 (7" center fin + Futures SB1 350 Side Bites)

Waterman Brian Keaulana

2009-09-23T21:27:00.002-04:00

Famed Waterman Brian Keaulana discusses his love of Hawaii and what it means to be able to live, work and surf there. Brian is an expert stand up paddler and has followed in his father's footsteps as a lifeguard captain of the Makaha coastline. Scott Hawaii's slippah (sandals) manufacturer pays honor to this master.
www.scotthawaii.com

Brian's quote: ''..no matter what you do. You need to wash that clutterness in your head away. Jumping in the Ocean diving, surfing, swimming just clean slates everything, wipes the mind free and you re-freshed again....''

I'm sure thats how we all feel when we head for the water. There is a waterman in all of us..
