Surfski Rudder Field Repair

Brandon returning from a paddle around Isla Coronado in Baja.

Safety is a choice. And being prepared for anything is a GREAT choice to make – especially during storm season! In this 3-minute video, Brandon shows you how to rig your surfski or kayak for an instant field repair that will restore full functionality of your steering system if one of your cables breaks.
Whether you’re out for a group paddle around Lummi, soloing on Lake Padden, or adventure paddling in Baja, this ingenious trick – shared with us years ago by Sterling Donalson

Happy and Safe Paddling!

Bellingham SUP November Demo

Up to 25MPH winds and the temps dipping into the low 40's didn't stop a crowd of eager Stand-Up Paddle Boarders and Boarders-to-be from coming out to Lake Padden for a chance to demo boards and play in the water with at least 3 dozen other hearty, like-minded folk!

To keep up with the Bellingham SUP demo's, events, races, and chit chat... check out
