Yesterday’s bow view off the West Point Lighthouse. The freighter came by super close, was fun to paddle out a bit and catch its deep water wake back to Ballard. Fun swirling ebb current off the point too. Beautiful night, epic Mt Rainier views. #salmonbaypaddle #surfski

Another trip to the Joyce Store west of PA. The oldest general store in the state. The mail boxes come from the Markham Hotel from the former town of Port Crescent (think Crescent Beach), and the reindeer with the extra horn was shot in 1931 by Orin Miller. Back in the day u accessed the store by rail. The Clallam Museum was the station. #salmonbaypaddle

It’s when you push yourself to try new things is when you improve as a paddler. At the end of my last Deception Pass class in September students let go by paddling on both ends of the board both forwards and backwards. Dressing for the water temp makes it easy to fall. #salmonbaypaddle #deceptionpass #sup

Downwinding class today with Mark and Preston. Here off West Point paddling against 20 knot gusts. Fun beach break surfing at the point.

36 knots SW winds at the Elks Beach yesterday. 11’ tide. SBP instructor Alex V and Skyler P after having downwinded halfway from the West Point Lighthouse. Alex, Alan and I went back out to surf the beach break. Some fun rides. Check my blog for tips on downwinding and landing in waves. #salmonbaypaddle @skypalmer171 @vaughansup
