Waterman League World Cup
-Well good news... I've been invited to compete in the Waterman League SUP world Cup event Feb 6 through 14 at Sunset Beach in Oahu, Hawaii. This ought to be a lot of fun - I retired from kayak competition in 2001 and have not competed seriously since, so I'm looking forward to this. There are a lot of great surfers there at the event, so we'll see how I do. I have realistic expectations - round 1 - lol.
Anyway I'll be posting from Hawaii about the event... stand by.
