Went for a session iin windy, wet  weather on lake tapps today.  How's about a roll call for the PAC northwest

Here!  I usually paddle around Richmond Beach/Edmonds with occasional surf trips to the coast or Straits.

Here as well.  Haven't been able to SUP in a while though, I have been taking the 18'6" Bark Unlimited out and getting some good prone paddling in.  I'm in Seattle and try to stay in the salt as much as I can especially with all the crazy stuff in the fresh water I have read about recently.

Here in Ballard!  I just wrote a book on SUP for the Mountaineers, teach it through my biz, Salmon Bay Paddle, and just started to rep sups for Perfect Wave in Kirkland. 

Mostly paddle in Shilshole bay surfing freighter waves, boat wakes, high wind days (up and downwinders), and surf mostly in the Strait.

Went swimming indoors in Portland--lots of individual medley and fast breaststroke sets.

Haven't gone out on the river since mid-November.  Figure I need to get booties and either a wetsuit or drysuit to continue paddling through the winter--running clothes are fine while I'm standing, but not for falling in.  The currents get weird so falling is always a possibility for me.

Just put the fin box in Patrick so hoping for a weekend ride on the mighty Willamette.

Here in Issaquah. Been paddling all my life, but never had as much fun as I do on a SUP. Mostly paddling Lake Washington from Enatai and Lake Union from Northlake. I'm often tough to see, cause I'm usually paddling in the dark. Freaks out the houseboat people. Maybe I should stop looking through portholes. Ya can do that from a SUP, you know.

Hey All-

Posting from the Hood / PDX. Been doing Westerly and Easterly downwinders in the Gorge whenever possible and paddle on the Willamette when the pollution levels are low(er). Anyone want to paddle over the winter months? Been doing some easterly runs from Home Valley to Stevenson and also from Dalton Point to the Rooster Rock marina. Hoping to meet some other NW paddlers who want to suit up and take advantage of the wind or just a get a good workout on the Willamette. Been checking out some cool footage of the paddling up in the sound and Bellingham bay and think a roadtrip might be necessary.

Saludé-

Here in the SouthSound.  Been mixing it up between Westport Surf and Flatwater all over....Coulon Beach, Golden Gardens.  Just did a beautiful float in the Nisqually Delta yesterday - chased around by a herd of Sea Lions - cool!
