This year’s @catalinaclassicpaddleboardrace had several young men and women make the crossing for the first time, and we asked them to share their experiences to encourage more of their peers to try the incredible sport of prone paddleboarding.

Paddling 32 miles across the Catalina channel is not an easy feat, but you can do it with proper training so connect with @southbaypaddleclub or other groups of paddlers to get started. You can find used boards online, rentals from @oceansprone or order a custom from @barkboards

When it’s flat, PADDLE! Thank you @blacklinelogo for the great video.

Huge congrats to our bros at @blacklinelogo and to, uhh, US! Our film ‘32 Miles’ won the Audience Award for Best Television Documentary at the @silicon_beach_film_festival! The two Scotts and Wag poured their heart and soul into this project, and successfully captured what makes the @catalinaclassicpaddleboardrace so special to so many of us. For those who haven’t watched, the entire film is available on YouTube, link in our bio.

We had a blast at the @silicon_beach_film_festival last night, as well as the party bus round trip, to watch “32 Miles” on the BIG screen at TCL Chinese Theatre.

The full 59 minute film can be found on YouTube, and you’ll see the amazing job @blacklinelogo did creating a film that is captivating and entertaining. It might even elicit some emotion!!!

GOT ANY OLD WETSUITS IN YOUR GARAGE AND CLOSETS?????? Each year, SBBC collects wetsuits from South Bay surfers who are buying a new one or their Grom/s no longer can fit into what they had.

On Sunday, September 7th, 12-3pm, club President @tomh59 will be sitting near the @tower12hb entrance collecting wetsuits, and Tower12 is offering an order of fries to anyone who contributes to the pile of wetsuits.

Fall and winter are approaching with cooler water temps. Keep an eye out for your favorite surf shop stocking up their 2025/2026 wetsuit inventory.

SBBC distributes the wetsuits, based on their needs, to @jmmfoundation @surfbusfoundation @blacksurferscollective . If you know of another worthy organization who may have a need, DM us. #reuse #recycle
