Babes on Boards?

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

The B’s of summer… Beach, Boards, Bonfires, Beer…..  Only thing missing are more Babes out there on Boards.  I usually only see a small handful out on the water.  It always seems to be 95% dudes.

Babes on Boards… where are you?

Just a Board and a Paddle

SUP Distance Cruise

Yellow Hobie How many can you stack?
How many boards can you fit on a golf cart?

6 Mile Paddle

There’s something freeing (and addicting) about being out on the open ocean with just a board and a paddle.  No gas, no noisy motor…. just your own sheer muscle power.  We dropped in at Doheny and covered a total distance of 6 miles.  Being 1/2 mile offshore, I felt a small survival instinct kick in.  I’m learning a lot about changing wind patterns and tides too…. it’s crazy how fast the wind can pick up and slow you down.  It was my first downwinder and I’m already talking about entering a race.  What can I say, I’m hooked.

We snapped these shots using my old crappy point and shoot with an underwater housing.  For some reason the camera leaves a purple line across the top of it’s photos.  I think I love it.

I picked up Standup Paddle Surfing (SUP) last summer and now I’m hooked.  Having only surfed a handful of times in my life, I’m trying to get used to getting my ass handed to me.  Great thing is, you can throw a board in just about any large body of water.. no surf required.  Have you tried it yet??

AND there’s no surfing without a little Pedro’s tacos…. Droooooooool. (see fig. 3).
