Paddle For MS a Huge Success

Posted on August 9, 2010 at 10:56pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

On Saturday August 7th, Mike Sandusky and fellow lake surfer Grant Kennedy set out on an exhausting 65 km paddle from Hamilton to Ashbridges Bay in Toronto to raise funds for Multiple Sclerosis awareness and research. It took the pair 13 hours, 39 minutes and 57 seconds to complete the trek.

Not only were Mike and Grant successful on their paddle, but they managed to smash their original fundraising…

For the Ladies

A couple of new lake surfing sites made their debut on the internet last week. The cool thing is, both sites were created by girls to share the stoke of surfing to more girls. And more girls in the water surfing is not a terrible thing :)

The first is…

There is an interesting new lake surfing book I recently caught wind of: Some Like It Cold: A Sheboygan Surfin’ Safari. The book tells the story of brothers Lee and Larry Williams, long-time lake surfers and founders of the Dairyland Surf Classic. The book hasn't hit the shelves just yet, but you can… Continue

I took over 500 pics and then narrowed them down to about 300 then processed them for the last three days in Adobe Lightroom. Brought the 300 in for printing as 5 x 7 inch prints as there is no way that many should be posted here. I am posting about 60 as it is which is nuts but here goes...

I will have the albums of prints with me in the car whereever I go so if anyone asks I can show them a more complete set. Some are just ok because it was pretty dull but the sun did shine on a lot and those are always better pictures.

Might just end up renting one since I have the day off tomorrow but I dunno. Stoked to say the least that its breaking again though + can't wait for my first freshwater ride.

At 11:21am on February 2, 2011, Antonio Acuña said…: Brother!! it was insane. amazing in the early morning (10am - 12 noon) then the wind shifted or something happened and the waves started to subside. I guess in the afternoon it picked up again? Dunno. It was big and mean! but the waves were rolling in nice and clean. Lots of ice chunks though. Everything at bluffers park is iced up, so it was a pain in the butt to walk around for an entry point. However, at the cove we found a perfect entrance ice-free. we just had to paddle a bit longer than usual to get to the waves.

Im going out today too. after 12. are you coming out?
