Events / Video from the Santa Cruz Shootout
« on: March 21, 2011, 07:12:58 PM »
I grabbed a few shots while attending the Santa Cruz Paddlefest.  The conditions were an intense combination of wind, rain, and cold weather.  Everyone who competed should get a medal, as those were by far the worst conditions I have ever seen anyone compete in.  Most of the guys couldn't even stand on their boards, and many dropped out of the contest before surfing in their second heats.  That said, it was a fun weekend and everyone had a great time.  Hopefully next year will have better weather.

Enjoy the video.

Clout Malibu hosted a surf/SUP contest at County Line this past Saturday.  It was a fun event and a ton of people showed up.  We even had an appearance from Pamela Anderson.  How Malibu is that?  Clout will be hosting two more contests, one at Leo Carillo and another at County Line.  You can find more information at http://cloutmalibutv.com

Now it's off to Santa Cruz for the best surf contest in CA.  See you there.

Events / Jesse King SUP Race and Surf Demo
« on: October 22, 2010, 05:15:06 PM »
I just noticed this event wasn't posted here on the Zone, so I thought I'd throw it up at the last minute.  Tomorrow, Oct 23rd, there is an SUP race in Morro Bay, CA. 

"The 2010 race is on Saturday October 23, with a 9 AM start. There is a mandatory competitors meeting at 8 AM at the race site, Coleman Beach. There is both a short course (2.7 miles) and a long course (5.9 miles), and both courses start and finish at Coleman Beach. This annual paddle event is a fundraiser for the Estero Bay Junior Lifeguard programs and a celebration of our friend Jesse's passion, his devotion to living life to its fullest, and being a first class waterman."

Tomahawk and many other manufacturers and vendors will be on hand doing demos on the beach.  Then the following morning, the same vendors will be doing a surf demo, so you can try out various SUPs on real waves.  Tomahawk will have a grip of short SUPS for people to try out, including the popular
 7-11 XL. 

We hope you can make it to the event.  All the detailed information can be found at the following link:

See you there

November 13 and 14th, 2010
The Davenport Paddle Surf Classic has been around for many years, and  is alive and kicking. Davenport is a legendary break about 20 minutes north of Santa Cruz. In previous years of the contest, we’ve had waves range from small to scary big, and this years late fall date means we should have a very good chance of getting memorable waves. Kayaks and SUPs welcome.
It started as a kayak and waveski contest, and in recent years we’ve enjoyed surfing with our Stand Up Paddle Board brothers and sisters. It’s a friendly vibe, with tough competition and awesome surfing. In previous years, we’ve had conditions from small to stonking huge.
All competitors MUST REGISTER IN ADVANCE. Registration closes November 7th at Midnight. No refunds if you drop out or don’t show up.
This is a sanctioned event, and points cout towards qualifying for the West Coast Worlds Team for 2011.  Only this contest and Santa Cruz left to qualify.  A special prize will be awarded to the highest ranked first time competitor in each catagory.  Meaning, if this is your first Paddle surf contest, then you qualify for a chance at a special prize.
When: November 13-14th, 2010, 7 am
Where: Davenport Landing

Sessions / SoCal South Swell
« on: August 25, 2010, 06:33:08 PM »
Here are some photos from the swell that hit SoCal this week.  The riders are Art Curtis, Wade Lawson, and Ty Bergman.  Some of the shots are San Diego, others in LA county.  The swell was smaller then expected, but it still delivered some fun rides.

Whitewater and River SUP / A taste of what's to come
« on: July 13, 2010, 09:57:38 PM »
The Boys have been logging a ton of time in the Sierras this season. I've witnessed things
I never thought possible on an SUP.  I can't wait to share the footage with you.  All I can say is it's coming and you won't be disappointed.

I mounted a GoPro onto my paddle and shot a surf school giving a lesson.  It's a fun perspective.

Whitewater and River SUP / Mid-Cal River Surf
« on: May 27, 2010, 08:28:21 AM »
So-Cal has Trestles, Nor-Cal has The Lane, Mid-Cal has the Alta Weir.  Right now the dam is releasing 6100 cfs.  By July, that number will double.  It's hard to say what the increase in flow will do to the wave.  It varies from year to year, depending on how they set up the Weir.  The Weir is a series of concrete pillars with 2x12 planks stuffed in between.  The water rushes over the weir, lands on a concrete pad, and where the pad ends, the wave is formed.  We've been kayaking the Weir for years.  Last year was the first time it was surfed on an SUP.  This video is from my 2nd session out there this season.  I look forward to many more. I have a couple of boards getting glassed that are designed for this wave.  They are super short, and should be really fun to play on.  The board in this video is an old 9-6.  Hopefully with more practice, we can learn to make really nice turns that flow together.  Right now I feel like a grom who is just learning to turn.   It'll get better :-)

Enjoy
