Stand up Paddling can be extremely fun and a great work out. Nothing beats a good ole-fashion down-winder on a hot summer day.  Learning marine weather forecasts and tide charts can be a great aid in planning a down wind paddle.

Matt Rafferty from Novado, California along with Dianne and Rick from the Main Beach crew, recently enjoyed a fun stand up paddleboard outing on Gardiners Bay.

Stand up Paddling

Proper equipment including a quality paddlebard, paddle, eyewear, uv protection and hydration systems are all part of the down winder experience.

Downwinder

Using a leash in windy conditions is important. A fall in dynamic following seas can mean a great deal of distance between you and your board very quickly.

Proper form and technique can help when connecting small waves during a longer outing. Long distances can be covered relatively quickly when you put it all together.

Well, March certainly rolled in like a lion dumping over a foot of snow on the East End. The snowfall created some great local cross country skiing opportunities. Once the weather settled down we were getting in multiple sessions of skiing and paddling each day. By the way, did I mention that all winter gear and leftover boards from last year are on sale during our March madness sale..
