| Without a paddle |

Last month, I went surfing after work. It was windy, rainy and there was a nasty storm heading our way. I should have taken these signs for what they're worth. But I wouldn't be me if I did. So I took the SUP out and as I dropped in on my first wave I felt the paddle creaking in my hands. Once again another sign that I ignored. I was gentle when paddling and paddled out and after fighting the chop for a while I caught a second wave. Nothing special but as I began to paddle back out I saw a burst of lightning. I'm not that stupid. I imediately turned the board around. As soon as I stroked to change direction and it happened. My paddle snapped in half. Jump to a week ago. I had ordered a new paddle on July 10th. A week later Quick Blade calls me and they said that they're all out of Peahi blades. Now I have to wait till next month. Bummer. |
