SUP General / Board Peeing

« on: June 28, 2015, 01:29:02 PM »

How do you pee out in the lineup? I just stand there and soil myself while talking to a hottie. I then make it a point to wipeout on the next wave. Sometimes I think that I'm summonsing the Landlord from afar, so I usually paddle away from my oilslick. TMI?

SUP General / I really want to move to Maui. Realistic?

« on: January 29, 2015, 01:13:32 PM »

Just turned 40. I have a lovely wife and 3 little kids. I have allways dreamed of a move to Maui in order to live my waterman dreams daily and raise my kids to do same. We currently live in Reno, NV. This place is a sportsmans paradise with 4 seasons of outdoor adventure in my backyard. I flip houses for a living and my wife is an experienced ER nurse. i feel like financially, we could pick up and do the same jobs in Maui. My main pursuits in ocean are kiteboarding and susing both at an expert level. I would probably want to land near the north shore Paia/makawao/pukalani area. maybe even kahului as wife world most likely work at hospital.. We go to upper westside often on vacations but dont know much about neighborhoods, schools or commute times on north shore. We would need at least 1500 sqft house to rent with garage and want to spend around $2k/mo rent. Our oldest will be starting 1st grade, so we are looking for a decent school district.
I am an avid voyear on the zone, but have posted little. I have to drive 5 hrs to santa cruz to surf now. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Questions:
1. Why should I not do this?

2. What part of Maui might work best?

3. Am I on crack?

SUP General / need sups transported from Santa Cruz to Reno/Tahoe ASAP

« on: August 30, 2013, 04:09:08 PM »

I bought a couple of Caution SUPs and paddles from Caution in Santa Cruz and am wandering if anyone is heading to Tahoe or Reno this weekend and could possibly bring them up for a fellow Zoner. Any takers will be handsomely rewarded with beer, grass, or gas. 

Thanks,
