WOW! It feels like we have already had more summer this year than we had all last year! What a wonderful gift! AND we're getting some nice little peelers with this delightful warm weather.

I have been having a blast with the Women at Higgins. You ladies (and Nanl) ROCK! Danielle, Sylvia and Buffy, don't give up! That was a rough day. Leigh (both of you), Nicole, Sarah, Nanl, Melinda, Jane,  Megan, Erin... You are a great FUN group to hang out with!

Stand Up against offshore drilling

Posted on 05/08/2010 at 07:30 am | Viewed 462 times | 2 comments

We'll be gathering at East End beach Wednesday at 8:30 A.M. to Stand Up Paddle with a mission. Offshore drilling is a BAD idea. Especially since we haven't even begun to see the long term effects of this disaster. Join us Wednesday morning for a paddle around East End. I'll have at least 7 boards, aplease call to register so I know what to bring (207-967-8650). Spread the word so more SUP'ers and Kayakers will show up.

Just returned from SurfExpo in Orlando with lots of new ideas and goals. New this spring, something going on every morning. Fitness levels will be through the roof! 2 hour SUP Monday, Wednesday and Friday A.M. with a goal for a long distance SUP trip camping along the Maine coast late summer... I'm thinking support boat with tents, cooking supplies and food. Mom's mornings will still be on Tuesdays and new for spring, we'll add Thursdays with the emphasis on meeting new people to surf and socialize with. Saturdays and Sundays will be SURF CAMP mornings for those who have real jobs. Surf Camp will run 10 to 11:30 and will cost $110 per person. There will be age groups according to registration. Families are welcome to register. These new activities will start in early March when I return from Coata Rica.

Okay, hope you all had a great Christmas (you know, December 25th). We'll be winding down for the winter trips. I leave for Orlando SurfExpo January 13th to the 16th. Eric will be open weekends, Saturday 9-5 and Sunday 9-3. I will be in the shop Monday through Friday 12-5 until SurfExpo, then I'll be back with regular winter hours until I go to Costa Rica from January 26th to March 2nd.  I CAN NOT wait to get back to warm water! (I can wait for the aggresive crowds, though. I wish I wasn't such a cold water wimp!) The surf here has been GREAT! Lots of weekend swells and great showings for moms mornings. See you soon. Have a GREAT winter, and keep checking the blogs from Expo and Costa Rica. Nanci

Maine has some pretty good surfers. Aquaholics would like to know who you think is the best. Let's put it to vote. We can create categories; Retro Masters (those who are over 50) Still got its (over 40) Yahoos (over 30), Prime of their lifers (20 and over) and Groms (under 20). We'll come up with a deadline when this gets off the ground. We're going to rate according to numbers, so spread the word. We'll tally it up and give trophies. Let's start with input as to what we should have for guidelines and criteria. Get the word out! Use the comments link to vote and send ideas for criteria. Let's see who's REALLY the best!
