August 13, 2010: Pineview SUP

 August 13th 2010,  Well this has been a great season of stand up paddleboarding and today we took it to the next level.  Brad Miller and myself had been contemplating a circumnavigation of Pineview Resevoir throughout the season.  This turned out to be the perfect day, we launched in total glassy water at 8:00am from windsurfer beach and headed east to the east bay then followed the shoreline for the entire lake.  A total of 10.2 nautical miles and four and half hours later, we finished back at windsurfer beach.  What a great paddle and a great day.  The Doyle SUP's are fantastic and we will be paddling until the ice is on!  Paddle to the People!

Another perfect day of stand up paddleboarding

We decided to go do a quick overnight up to city of rocks with our friends Jim and Tommy.  We had a blast and the boys may have a place for their band to play.
