Another Great Weekend...

Woke up early Saturday morning and checked out the Lake at around 7am. Nothing doing. Tried again at 11 and was surprised to find that the wind was blowing a steady 18 knots from the SW. What was more unusual is that it was warm and the sun was shining. This rarely happens. Managed to get in a good 1 1/2 hours before leaving to go to a BBQ. Click on the image to see the video. More pics here.
Tried a Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) for the first time on Sunday morning, thanks to Mike and Grant of Surf Ontario. Had a lot of fun, and would have had even more fun if there had been some waves. A couple of pics here. This is probably another hobby I need to get into. After all, from what I have read, I believe anything is better than Golf...

Bicycle Racks...

Although it's just a 5 minute walk from my house to the Lake, there is a pretty decent break about a mile further west along the waterfront trail. I figured that the quickest way to get there was by bicycle. But how do I get my board there? I tried riding the bike with my surfboard tucked under my left arm, but that was just an accident waiting to happen. So, I figured I needed surfboard racks for the bicycle. Google to the rescue! I stumbled across some Bicycle Rack Plans and after a trip to the local hardware store and 1/2 an hour messing around in the garage I was ready for a test drive. All is well, now we just need some westerly winds to kick up some waves.
