I'm a summer girl. I like summer girl things: I like bikinis, I like warm sunshine, I like green flashes, I like Kraken and 7 (if you have to ask, don't worry about it), I like coconut scented surf wax, I like evening sessions in glassy, warm, California-green waters, I like sexy guy surfers changing under towels, I like rambling the coast with no schedule, nowhere to be, and a truck full of stand up boards. I like slurpees. I like north county San Diego surfspots in the summer. I like eating sushi and then posting up at a bar and people watching.
I just don't like the cold. Especially when it's supposed to pour rain and keep me from paddling and surfing... Blah!

Big Plans...
There's a bunch of cool stuff coming up on the horizon for me! Let's start with the paddling plans:
1. I'm getting ready to race again! Looking forward to the four local races that are coming up in April... getting tuned up on my Boga raceboard- tough work but races are a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing all of my old racing buddies.
2. I'm putting the Tahoe Nalu race on my calender. It's such a beautiful spot to paddle and it's a great time of year to be up at Lake Tahoe.
3. I've got big plans for a Sea of Cortez paddle adventure in June. I'll be heading down south with a bunch of my friends and the whole 2012 line of Boga paddle boards for everybody to try out. I'm hoping to get some of the local kids out and paddling- it might be a first for them.
4. Speaking of Mexico, I've got a three day moto-trip up into the mountains coming up soon. I know, I know- it's not stand up paddling but, damn, is it fun. Can't wait to get up into the mountains on some fun single track moto trails.
5. Costa Rica! Are you kidding me? Nope. I'll be heading to Costa Rica to paddle surf some warm water waves. I'm hoping to catch an arribada which is a mass turtle migration onto the sand to lay eggs. For years, my daughter and I have talked/dreamed about seeing this natural phenomena- it's a life goal of ours. So we're crossing our fingers that we'll get to see this when we're there. Oh, and if we happen to snag a couple fun paddlesurf sessions that would be the icing on the cake.
6. Looking to fit in a mainland Mexico surf trip to some of the big, right hand point breaks near Puerto Vallarta. Being a natural footed surfer, and never having been on a surf trip with rights, I'm dying to post up on a legitimate, long, right point. I know they're out there- and I'm gonna hunt them down!
These are my plans- what's on your calender?
