Paddle on an Unlimited Board Occasionally Larry Cain - One of the things I think is really helpful and I'd like to do more of is paddling an unlimited board occasionally. I don't own my own and truthfully don't plan to unless someone wants to offer me one to ride. I can't justify the expense right now and the storage is a bit more of an issue for me than it is for a 14' board.

The shallows A whole bunch of Ing's - My footprints across the grey cracked pavement leading to the sea. Black pieces of my dry suit steaming dry in the heat of a powerful sun. The smell of sping crossed my nose on a light NW breeze; as I paddled out to the uninhabited coast. Paradise for The Urban Paddle Guide SUP Magazine - San Francisco is a stand up paddler's paradise. It offers surf, downwind runs (one of which stretches under the Golden Gate, on display here) and flat water galore.

Winter trip to Denmark Kokatat Blog - After spending a lot of time indoors for studying and working on my newest movie Into the Waves I felt ready for a little adventure.
