I also got in touch with (on facebook) an old buddy I grew up and we had a chance to get reconnected via mountain bike riding. He came out 2 weeks ago on a Saturday morning and we rode Sycamore Canyon and overlook trail back home to my place and had a great morning. We plan to do this on a regular basis on weekends when possible - let me know if you would like to join us! All are welcome.
Yesterday I was able to sneak out and paddle surf sunrise at Latigo Point. I had the entire place to myself for about an hour and a half on low tide with some solid 4ft sets rolling in. I was able to catch 4 waves without even getting wet! # 5 wave through #12 saw 2 falls. My balance is feeling very strong, and I still think that this paddle surfing is such a special form of exercise.
As I was ready to paddle home I met a new friend who lives in Cove Colony and we discussed paddle board shape and the unique shape of my 9'6" Naish quad fin and how the 12' Laird is really a table disguised as a surfboard.
There is a new Naish 9'3" board out that looks pretty cool too.
Here are some pics from my buddy Wardog's Blog at Surfing Sports in Santa Barbara

Yo Hammy,
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think about different types of supplements. I've been on Optimum Nutrition's regular old whey protein powders in the morning for a breakfast shake. Recently i started taking Cell Mass (creatine) to see if i can get pass this physical plateau i've been on lately. Have you had any luck or know if creatine will actually work for me.
It is hard to say if it will push you past your plateau since I don't exactly know what you are doing for your workouts. That being said, since I know you - taking creatine will definitely help you in your workouts. Also, it may be beneficial to take your protein after workouts along with some fruit. Make sure you are getting enough protein throughout the day to prevent muscle breakdown and enhance muscle repair.
