Day off from Building Boards

We took the day off today from building boards and had a relaxing sail.  Next week we'll be taking some boards along with us.

This One's a Keeper!

Here's a glimpse of a SUP we've been working on.  It made mostly of cedar like the majority of our boards but has a zebra wood stripe down the center on the top deck.

Can't wait to get this one fiberglassed and in the water!

Top Deck of a Custom 10'6" Stand Up Paddle Board

We're working on a custom 10'6" paddle board right now.  The top deck is cut out and we're getting ready to start the bottom.  This board will also have a personalized logo on the bottom deck when it's done.

Spring is Finally Showing Up Around Here

We've had a long, stranger than usual, winter around here this year but there's finally signs of spring showing up.

We're all ready to get back out on the water again!

January on the Oregon Coast

We headed over to the coast today to check on some possible damage from the recent flooding.  The weather was amazing on the beach.  In the upper 50s with almost no wind.  A perfect day for hunting for treasures.  We discovered interesting shells, fossils, and driftwood pieces on our visit.

We had dressed warm expecting the typical cool, windy conditions.

There are always giant logs scattered along the beaches in Oregon.  Luckily for our daughter, a number of them had been pushed up far enough on the beach that we let her do a little exploring.  Around that log is where she found some of the more unique shells.

Too bad we didn't bring a board with us on this trip!

Anyone up for a paddle...

There's been lots of flooding in our area.  The section of the Willamette River that we paddled on last July now looks like a muddy, churning, lake.
