The Stand Up Paddle Board Guy. La Jolla 9/19

[Pagzzz]

Nicely done! I've got a 14' Coastal Cruiser SUP from Riviera that I take around Mission Bay fishing. One thing to cruise around casting light tackle for bay bass in the flat waters of the bay vs. cruising the kelp looking for yellows.

I'll have to give it a go one day, but probably not until the waters cool a bit and become a little less "sharky" with all the hammerheads around.

Awesome, another SUP guy! Still haven't fished in the bay yet... looking forward to grabbing a few spotties when I do.

I've been surfing and free diving for many many years, hence the comfort level on a SUP way out there. Just know your limits, gear and how to be safe and choose the right conditions/timing for a paddle and all should be good. My one rule of thumb is to stay within a distance to shore I feel comfortable swimming back to.

Right on. I have 4 sups right now and was thinking of fishing off of one but just been too lazy. Maybe I'll get out sometime soon down here in VC.

Nice going Gar!

Way to slay the yellows!!

Could hear the concern in your voice when the HH got close then disappeared for a moment...I would of sounded the same!

Anyways, when I see you down that way, I'll come by and sat hi.

Great work on the 'tails!

Thanks man! Yeah I'm not going to lie, it felt a bit sketchy for a second there. There wasn't another soul anywhere near me which definitely added to the sketchiness. All's good and it was a cool experience in the end.

Congrats on the yellows!
I'm amazed that board can stay afloat with your massive steel huevos.

But I suppose the only difference between "crazy" and "eccentric" is success.

Welcome to the party!

I was hoping you'd be on this forum! I mean it man, thanks for coming over to check in. It's good to know there are people looking out for each other. I was little rattled but the big 'ol YT made me forget it all real quick like. See you on the water bud.

I'd like to find out! It would be a real fun ride either way.
