I'm so glad the event was a success. Hopefully next time I can help too. I was a DH on a few trips for wounded vets and those trips were always so gratifying. I know I take a lot for granted, but try to remembers our warriors and pray for them.

I had a blast, sign me up for more. I am available most weekends and at times in the evening. How about next Sunday out of O'Side?

Here's a couple more pics...

PapaDCh, we were going to follow you out to the pipe but the lady Marine that was with me was getting sick so we headed into the harbor. Did you lose any rods when the girls flipped the kayak?

I believe the girls said they lost 1 of the 2 they had on board.

It was a very cool day. Glad to have been a part of it. Cant wait for another one to take place.

I am going to be heading up an Organization that is very similar, called Heros on the Water. We are strictly a kayak organization, and believe in the healing powers of kayak angling. Paddle Fish Heal....

I was very glad to meet everyone and please forgive me if when me meet again I don't remember your name, I am horrible at names. I was the guy with the Green Hobie and the Big Camera, my name is Ryan.

I have a few plans to keep things interesting and fun. HOW is a National Organization, however I feel the Southern California Chapter could be the largest very quickly.

We are building our HOW team now and will be having events in the near future. If you are interested in Volunteering you can either message me or call or text my cell phone (951) 473-3202 and leave a message (just assume I am fishing, ha ha). For those of you that have already contacted me I do have your information.

I look forward to building on an already great start....

Along with Ryan, you guys can feel free to stop by the shop and talk to me about this as well. As he said the Socal chapter of HOW has potential to be the largest in the nation and I think we will accomplish some very good things.

We have a lot of good people that want to back this chapter including full support from OEX/KFSupplies, Mr Gomes from UniButter/ Catalina Offshore Products, and many more. It is nice to have so much great support, should allow us to do what we need to do for these folks.

Let me know if you need help....I made some great contacts at BassPro for Wounded Warriors.....We were a little late for donations from BP, but if we give them ample notice, they stated they will have their vendors contribute to the cause...sign me up!

yep, lost one of my hand-me-down rods paired with my starter harbor freight spinning reel, and some equipment. not much. it was probable if not expected with new kayanglers... it was a loss well worth the enjoyment of being part of the event!

to all.

PapaDave · 07-26-2011, 11:15 AM

Lucky, if you need compensation for the rod and equip, let me know. I beleive the two girls got caught off guard by a wake that peaked on a swell while they were sideways. It was sort of my fault as I was trying to position them for a drift over some marks.

MVC, going back was probably a good thing if she was sick, the boat wakes made for some rough pitching out there. The water got real nice after 5pm, all the boats/jet skis went in and the wind died down to a trickle.

As for HOW, I would definately be interested, just let me know when you have the details.
