Love watching Fall storm surf on the Strait. Lots of power that transforms the shoreline with each tidal swing. Not surfable here, lotsa rocks below the surface which makes for great tide pooling at low tides. #salmonbaypaddle

Check out John Holm’s NW and Hawaii surf art. Worth a follow! #surfart #nwsurf #salmonbaypaddle

It’s going to get interesting on the coast and Strait tues-wed with a 20’ west swell coming in. Most likely not surfable in the usual spots but possibly waves in lesser known places. Learning to surf means learning about how it works. This will be a great learning experience to see such a rare big swell in the NW. #salmonbaypaddle #swell #waves

Today’s solution for tying down a 19’ surf ski

Today’s solution for tying down a 19’ surf ski and 14’ Sup. I use 2” wide Mile 22 Monster straps on Thule square cross bars. Both craft touching each other to reduce shifting. Straps are twisted to prevent whistling on the road. Extra short strap hangs off the surf ski rudder. #salmonbaypaddle @miletwentytwo @subaru_usa @fennkayaks

Check out the Tides Planner app. You slide the vertical line up and down the tidal curve for height and times. Fun to play with and great tool. #salmonpaypaddle #tidesplanner

Ballard Locks current cranking out after heavy rains and being pushed by 20 knots of SE wind. Chillin in the eddy. Great ferrying and eddy practice in Ballard! When boats go upstream waves jack up for fun rides. #salmonbaypaddle

Amazing light today up to the Locks then out to West Point Lighthouse then downwind back. Lots of seals. Here the S wind and all that rain pushing the Locks current out fast. Good ferry practice. #salmonbaypaddle #fallpaddle

The Deception Pass Challenge was cancelled again today following the recent state lock down for Covid. I can still do distanced classes with up to 5 not from the same household. Next class 12/12. Onwards... 🤙 #salmonbaypaddle @wastatepks

Today I held the first of 2 days of a PSUPA Flat Water 1 sup instructor course in Seattle. Great sunny day and fun seeing the prone folks and outriggers headed to Edmonds and sup friends downwinding. Mark the kayaker spotted orcas off West Point. #salmonbaypaddle #psupa

Interesting conditions tonight on Shilshole Bay. A rare West wind on an ebb made for funky downwind waves. Several out on all craft trying their luck. Love that late Fall light. #salmonbaypaddle @fennkayaks

The Deception Pass Challenge on Dec 5, is almost a go. Waiting for one permit to clear. We have a New Course! We’re also applying strict on-shore Phase 2-3 regs for outdoor events which include a sanitation station, mask use on shore, a distancing plan in the parking lot and pre-race plus 10 racers launched every minute for 10min to beat the flood current in Canoe Pass. No tents or event presence on shore. All online registration, awards and shirts. 🤙 Get this epic hi-vis paddling shirt designed by Ayu Othman and all Race Details on my site or the FB event page. *Registration opens when my permit clears. Holler at me for questions. #deceptionpasschallenge #salmonbaypaddle

Deception Pass tidal rapids class recently. Thanks

Deception Pass tidal rapids class recently. Thanks to @harryoe for the pic. We’ve been successfully mixing sup and kayakers for this class. Here we’re by a sea cave off Rez Head. DP isn’t all about rapids, we finish each class with exploring the park’s coastal shorelines with epic Olympic Peninsula, San Juan’s and distant BC views. Next class Dec 12. #salmonbaypaddle @wastatepks

Backwards is the new forwards! We now offer year round kayaking lessons in addition to Sup and surf ski. This week I’m adding to my staff a few expert local sea kayaking instructors to provide you with more options to get on the water in the NW. Check my site soon for the bio’s of the instructors and new classes in sea and surf kayaking. In this footage from our combined Sup/kayak class at Deception Pass on Saturday the second kayaker, David Hablewitz will be joining SBP as an instructor. #salmonbaypaddle @wastatepks

Another epic Ballard downwinding Sup class, today with Preston who is training to do the Maliko run in Maui with Jaecey Suda of @moorewatertime Lots of sun and fun to see lots of local paddlers and outriggers out today.

Super fun day at Deception Pass yesterday with a g

Super fun day at Deception Pass yesterday with a great group of sups and kayaks leaning how to paddle in tidal rapids. They learned peeling into current, ferrying across, recovery in rough water, reading water and we surfed a few standing waves. Next class Dec 15. Smart winter paddling clothing keeps us warm. #salmonbaypaddle Mark H peeling out here. @wastatepks @supindustry

It went coastal today on Shilshole Bay. 25-29kt northerly with three freighters passing threw in a few chest high swells. My downwind student Brice rocked it in the conditions catching several glides. See him in the first image. The sun came out too. Tons of kites at WP and GG. Good to see @ivanoats #salmonbaypaddle

This weekend is looking epic for strong northerlie

This weekend is looking epic for strong northerlies for local downwinding. Also a NW forecast for my class in Deception Pass Saturday may be a standing wave day!🏄‍♂️ 🌊 #salmonbaypaddle

After I remove my wetsuit for Fall and Winter paddling I slide on these Sorel Falcon Ridge slippers to keep my feet toasty warm. They’re sturdy enough to walk around and drive home. If women have a favorite slipper suggestion, send to me! @olukai Also has some options. Find these in the Salmon Bay Paddle online store. #salmonbaypaddle @sorelfootwear
