Skate Sailing....

...is a blast. and a great way to get a sail in your hands when the wind is less than what it needs to be to get out on the water. You'll be amazed at the tricks you can do, and the moves you can learn on a skate board with that old and battered storm sail. All you need to do is attach and old universal to the front of your long board, and rig up that tiny sail thats collecting dust in the corner of your garage with some old rig components that are probably also lying around, and you're good to go!

This pic sent in from Dana Miller out on the left coast. Check what he's been up to in the fall edition of Boardhead International
Stoked beyond measure....

Standup Paddle The Broadkill River

Sunday I took my RRD  Cruiser Classic and paddled the Broadkill River. I launched at Milton and came in at Steamboat landing.

I launched around 2 pm, and pulled into Steamboat Landing around 4. Lo tide was around 2.30ish
Beautiful 
This section of the river was sheltered from the wind, water is nice and glassy....perfect for standup paddle boarding-one long pull with my carbon paddle and it was glide city
plenty of hunting blinds along the river 
passed a few villages along the way 
Wide open spaces 
You can clearly see the high water mark 
Destination Delmarva 
Crossing under Route 1 
Sun getting low in the sky behind me 
Almost there now 
Get out here and enjoy our beautiful state 
There is my ride, right on time
Blessed
