Temps are warming up here in the Pacific Northwest this weekend. Here's a few tips to stay off the news:
Paddle Boarders:
- Wear a leash to not lose your board in wind after a fall.
- Wearing your life jacket will prevent cold shock and help you float if fatigued. Get a hi-vis color. #sup

A new rocket booster for my surf ski?
It's actually a part of a dock that floated into Freshwater Bay near Port Angeles, WA.
Every time I paddle, I collect beach trash and reuse or recycle items if I can. Another dock piece was picked up by a friend in the maritime industry for reuse. #kayaking
