What an exciting year for SUP stand up paddling. I just wanted to wish everyone a very Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas) and Hau’oli Makahiki Hou (Happy New Year). The Christmas spirit is definitely here. My brother and I did a short downwinder this morning and were blessed with great wind. When we were done we […]
Some pictures of an old Hawaii Kai downwind run with Jeff, Darin and Kekoa. This was a while ago.
This video is from May 08. This was one of my earlier downwind runs. The crew was Kainoa B, Duane DeSoto and friends. Kainoa did a different type of tandem on this run. He had his friend Ann, who is his Access Surf partner on the front of his 12′ board and then surfed it […]

[…]
I’ve been doing a lot of downwind runs in the past 3 weeks. I just did the Hawaii Kai to Kaimana Beach (9 miles?) today. I finally did it under 2 hours and maybe that’s because I didn’t sit down as much as I normally do. Yes, I’m the lazy paddler and I realize that […]
This is a short clip of me on a downwind run with my friend Kekoa. I’m on my Angulo 11’9″ and using a Leleo custom wood paddle. This is nothing really eventful but I thought it would be nice for people to see what Blackpoint looks like from the water.
