Bay to Bay Photos

Here some photos from the recent Bay to Bay Race.

Lego Kayak

I had some time to kill yesterday and being an adult fan of Lego, I thought I would look and see if anyone had modeled a kayak. To my surprise I found this on the Lego website:



Unfortunately it is not available here in the US. Lucky, I have several friends in the UK, so I asked the to grab a few for me.

While hanging with the Night Herons at the end of the Bay to Bay Race, some folks commented on my KAYAKAHOLIC shirt. Here is the information on it (http://stallgear.blogspot.com/), since I got it as a gift from my wife.

Bay to Bay Race

I had to sit this one out, but I went out to watch my fellow paddlers. The day turned out to be rough. The wind was up, making it a tough race. I did not mind sitting on the sideline.

The Night Heron's performed quite well. Congrats to all.

Maybe next year...

Special Paddling Opportunity

I've just been made aware that Karen Knight and Bob Foote will be in the Southern California area in October, 2008, following their August paddling trip down the Colorado River. As many of you know, Teresa Boli and Jane Hardy paddled their Jives through the Colorado with them last summer. They're both awesome instructors! I'm very excited about the prospect of their coming to San Diego.

Here's the deal -
If we can confirm a minimum of 10 students, they'll schedule classes for us here in San Diego. Tentatively, we're hoping to run two 4-hour classes on Saturday, October 4; 5 students per instructor; classes would focus on body posture and paddle strokes; cost approximately $90 per class. If there's enough interest, they may be able to run classes on Sunday, as well. They're both terrific rolling coaches. The price may seem steep, but they're well worth it.

Questions welcome.
If you're willing to commit, please email me your positive response by Monday, June 9.

Check out their web site: either karenknight.com, or bobfoote.com

Paddler Magazine named Bob Foote one of the "Paddler's of the Century" in recognition of his expertise and contributions to paddling. He is a highly sought-after instructor, and is considered one of the most versatile boaters and paddling instructors in the country today.

Karen Knight was recently featured in Paddler Magazine, and recognized as one of the "Top 7 Cool Canoeists You Should Know." She's a versatile paddler and innovative instructor. Karen is recognized for her ability to teach and has a meticulous eye for detail and stroke nuances.

This opportunity is a non-sponsored event. Teresa Boli & Jane Hardy are seeking your interest. They only be able to book Karen and Bob, if they have enough paddlers willing to commit.

If I've missed someone you think would be interested, please pass this post along to them.
