Surfer Rob Machado Downwinder on North Shore

Rob Machado down winding the North Shore of Oahu on the new Jimmy Lewis M-14

Land Paddling..or ''SKADDLING''

Down in Florida at my parents house assisting my Dad as my Mom fights her battle with Lung Cancer. ............................SO DON'T SMOKE...................

I cant get to the water so I was able to make a homemade Kahuna Big Stick and at least enjoy the sensation of gliding SUP style on my carve board.. .My parents live at the bottom of the sloped street which is great for down hill runs...

Love Skaddling.....

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Have a SUP'er Holiday

2-3 ft and fun,.... again

Summer continues with warm temps and clean thigh waist waves. I rode my small PSH and had so much fun.. What a loose maneuverable board.....Felt good to get in the water and get my mind off of reality....

Summer in November ...SUP style

Small clean waves, Paddle surfing with friends. Summer temps and mid 60's *F water temp. allows for a 4 hour session. Heather, Jesse ,Seppe, Jamie, Jessica, Tim, Perry, Pat and I shared lots of waves down by the mouth of the folly. Great way to spend Sunday..

First fall ''H2O Sports All Ride SUP ''out of mold today

This is the first board on the new run of SUP's for next years fleet. Its an all white seemless board improved from last years batch. Pat. L , Pat Burrell, and I will be getting ready to pop out several before the temps drop making glassing difficult. .

2 ftsurf, heavy offshores = SUP fun

Fun little left over wind swell waves from the strong winds last night. Perry, Scott, Heather and Ishared waves as Seppe took a few shots. ''Feel Better Bruddah'' The 15-20 knot WNW winds were offshore and cleaned up the surf enough to have fun on the SUP . Weather was warm and sun was shining makes for a great time to ''Occupy The Water''.. (CK ..aka.. Watermonkey)

Flaring Up, Surfing with a Flare

Pretty cool, had to share

10+ mile paddle..Time for pondering and reflection...

Seppe and I paddled up and down Broad Creek today in calm glassy water with no wind that created for spectacular reflections. Seemed like we were paddling among the clouds.. I guess you can say paddleboarding is a piece of heaven and does wonders for the soul..

Seppe with the mouth cam...

Few more from Yesterday

Jesse has the new HD2 GoPro camera and it has better features and larger mega pixel format with a 10 pic burst allowing sequence shots.. Here are some of the pics

We switched up paddling into waves and taking pics. Enjoy..

Proverbial ''round peg in square hole''. Jesse lays back and fits into the curl..

Just a crisp pic on a clean wave,
Jesse's gets slotted holding the line getting a little shampooing..

Looking for it.. didn't get in, but great looking perspective with the camera's burst feature

A few from this cold mornng.. Sun & Moon Session

A chilly chilly morning, the sand seemed frozen as you can see your breath. Small thigh high clean peelers with the Sunrise in the East and the full moon setting in the West.

SUN AND MOON SESSION

Small ..clean surf perfect for SUP .. Driessen Beach session

Fun chilly waves today

This is why we had some surf today.. and the next couple of days...

Here are some GoPro pics from today's session at S.Forest beach.Winds were slight offshore with some lump waist-stomach high waves. Was good to get in the water but the strong cool winds and water made for a chilly session.

Water temps dropped in the low 60's ....like 62 *F to be exact

Winter has started.
