@kenpagliaro shot this incredible photo on Sunday during the @catalinaclassicpaddleboardrace. I don’t know who the lucky paddler is to have these playful companions surround him but it is an example of why many of us enjoy paddleboarding when there is no surf. SBBC members, remember we have 3 boards that @subarupacific provided us to use and share so you can experience this sport and join the fun.

Tomorrow morning paddlers will leave Catalina Isthmus at 6am to cross the channel, paddling 32 miles, and finish at MB Pier. From 11am to 3pm a steady stream of finishers will be coming ashore. They would love to hear your cheers to acknowledge their accomplishment and the event organizers would appreciate a few volunteers to help paddlers bring their boards to shore and to help break down when the event is over. Come on down! 📷 @bkingston

Great crew today paddled from Hermosa Beach to Malibu Pier in preparation for @catalinaclassicpaddleboardrace . Perfect conditions the whole way, and the all important grand finale Duke’s brunch to refuel and prepare for a deep nap. The juvenile white sharks along the way added to the excitement
