Paddleboarding, even a caveman can do it...

Stand Up Paddle boarding is the fastest growing water sport. Giving daily lessons to many new enthusiasts to the sport of SUP, I have them up and paddling with-in 20 minutes. Some don't realize how easy it is; ''Even a Caveman can do it.''.

A little photoshop fun...

SUP pool demo's

I have been doing Stand Up Paddle Board demo's in the pools of the many resorts on the Island. Its amazing how much interest I stir up at these ''Meet and Greet'' breakfasts, lunches and Wine and Cheese events. I think 60% of the my clients I take paddle boarding are from these events. This is at one of Coral Sands Resort's pool. Gotta love this job.. I cant even call it a job.. Happiness is......

Today I had two families forming a large group going out for a paddle. The Taintor's; Colleen, Chris, Emily and Brian, visiting from Maine , all able to enjoy the family bonding of Stand Up Paddle Boarding. The other family of paddlers was The Faxon's.; Brad and his daughters Emily and Sophie. They enjoyed paddling in the sound and marsh and will be SUP owners soon. We all enjoyed the awesome weather conditions allowed for a the leisurely paddle around Harbour Town. The smiles on their faces were enlightening and inspiring.... S U P ..... What's not to like.

2010 Hurricane forecasts

JUST RELEASED forecasters William Gray and Phil Klotzbach said that El Niño conditions will dissipate by summer and that unusually warm tropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures will persist, leading to favorable conditions for hurricanes to develop and intensify with 15 named storms and eight of those becoming hurricanes. Active year and aggressive forecast.

Don't mind the Hurricanes as long as they stay off shore and send us swells. Don't need the landfall and billions of dollars of damage and suffering.

Adrienne and Lindsey

My clients Stand Up Paddle for the first time.

Today I had the honor to share my passion of Stand Up Paddle Boarding with Babby and Alan Norsworthy and Patrick Partain. I asked why they chose Stand Up today and their reason was ''all the rental bicycles were out''. Maybe a little discouraged not riding bikes but they all paddled through the marshes and sound seeing Sea Pines from a unique point of view, atop of a Stand Up Paddle board.
