| SO stoked and proud of our local paddling crew about to throw down at the U.S. Nationals today. Send your strong and fast vibes to Heather, DJ, David S. and Steve Scoggins!!! (And of course, Good Luck to ALL racers!) Heather mentioned there are 44 international racers, as well as paddlers from 15 different U.S. states! What a field! | SO stoked and proud of our local paddling crew about to throw down at the U.S. Nationals today. Send your strong and fast vibes to Heather, DJ, David S. and Steve Scoggins!!!

| Wind will crank up in the afternoon (westerly 15-20knots through the gate). Glad the race is on the flood. If race organizers haven't told racers, tell them to keep an eye out for the fishing boats. The salmon run on the Marin coast is very good, with fishers catching a lot of 4-yr olds weighing 15-30 lbs. Although party boats will be right off Muir Beach and along the course until the Bridge, it's the private fishing boats that might be a problem. | Wind will crank up in the afternoon (westerly 15-20knots through the gate).

| - | First report form San Fran... Results aren't posted. Not yet. The field was stocked with heavy hitters. And that is no exaggeration.....looking around it was clear that we were temporarily out of the bush league. Pretty sure Heather rocked it. David made a good start and held it. I don't think I finished very well, but I don't care. I just went out and had fun. Loads of fun. The water is really interesting outside the gate and it was cool to see it do its thing up close and personal. Coming in under the bridge is really quite charming. The waves were pure bliss from Angel Island to the finish. Polite and orderly waves, large but not jaw droppers. Just a damned good time. | + | First report form San Fran… Results aren't posted.

| - | USSSC did not disappoint. A tough start with nasty side chop but strong current from behind. 16 kph on flat water!!?? Don't know what that translates in Mph, but its pretty fast for not surfing. | + | USSSC did not disappoint.

| I got a good scare from a sea lion who was either as equally scared to showing some up close and personal aggression. | I got a good scare from a sea lion who was either as equally scared to showing some up close and personal aggression. | ||
| - | Sean Rice defended his title like a champ. Taking the hot spot too. Head to head surfing to the finish with he and Jasper. Sean took the last gap to pass through the dilapidated pier, brushing his shoulder on the support while surfing past. Jasper missed and had to go under the pier losing valuable seconds. I got to surf across the line with Heather. | + | Sean Rice defended his title like a champ. Taking the hot spot too. Head to head surfing to the finish with he and Jasper.
