Many thanks to Dennis Paull and the Cheboygan Waterways Festival for the 7th year in a row of awesome downwind paddle racing. The conditions weren't big, but this is what makes this race so great. It is an adventure, but certainly doable for most paddlers. I'd love to see this race get to 50. How can we make it happen? I volunteer to build a website, just need the racers to write their stories and we'll make it come to life!

Stats from a short out and back in 1-2 foot waves on Lake Michigan today focused on powerful strokes Oscar Chalupsky style. It is amazing how low you can keep your HR when you learn to use your legs and core for power, eliminate unnecessary movements, and leverage the waves for a free ride. I've been paddling for 12 years, and still gain immensely from listening to Oscar. We teach his methods to all students as well. Even if you've done clinics in the past, you will always benefit from a refresher course. #PaddleWithPower #OscarTechnique #TcSurfskiLessons #ClassicSummerConditions

Beautiful day for paddle racing in Northern Michigan. We had to divide and conquer to support both the 45th Parallel Paddle Festival in Suttons Bay and the R3 adventure triathlon in East Jordon. Many thanks to Ryan Deering for representing at the 45th while I was getting destroyed on the hills in East Jordon. Congrats to all who got out on the water today!! #R3AdventureTri #45ParallelPaddleFest

Another M22 Challenge in the books. What a race and what a day we had for racing. Many thanks to the organizer and volunteers who make this race happen so smoothly every year. So exciting to see close to 80 Surfskis out racing. Nothing has done more to introduce Surfskis to the Midwest than this race. #M22Challenge #surfski #AmericasMostBeautifulRace #FortunateToBePartOfIt

This podcast hit the airways a few weeks ago, but in case you missed it, the tables were turned and I was in the hot seat. I sometimes feel like a broken record trying to get the message out there, but I'll continue nonetheless. The Great Lakes offer world class surfski conditions! Make this the summer to check it out. #PeakPaddlePerformance #SurfskiGreatLakes #WorldClass #EndlessSurfing #NoSharks #NoWeeds

The challenge of mastering downwind paddling is endless. I know there can be confusing messages around it. In this blog I’ve tried to add some clarity based on my own experience. Let me know what you think. #downwind #ContextIsEverything #AlwaysLearning #SlowDown #ExpirementOften

First time out on my road bike this year. Hard to get any better than fresh swept Leelanau county roads on a warm and windless spring evening. Hard to believe M22 Challenge is just over six weeks away. #LeelanauRoadbiking #SuttonsBayBikes #M22ChallengeTraining

Surfski paddling requires good core strength. This is a good thing, but does mean that beginners can struggle to get comfortable in their boats. The Epic Back Pad is a great way to add additional support and improve your posture, which will ultimately lead to more enjoyable paddling! Available on-line now at TC SURFSKI. #CoreStrength #EpicBackPad #BetterPosture #BetterComfort

I finally published a blog post I've been thinking about for several years. I've shared some insights and transparency around what it's like to run a small surfski business. I hope that it articulates why we all so greatly appreciate those customers who support our businesses and make them viable. If you agree, please share. #ShopLocal #TheLongGame #RelationshipsMatter #ValueIsMoreThanPrice

Great Saturday morning getting a new Surfski paddler and triathlete up and running in an Epic v8 and a long time customer upgraded to a v8 Pro. The gale winds and 7 foot waves just outside the harbor were way too much for beginners so we kept it safe on the river. #kayaktriathlon #gettingstartedright #Leland #CarpRiver #epicv8 #epicv8pro

60 degrees, sunshine, and calm water inspired me to try out the new Mocke Equinox 2mm Paddling Top. I used an XL and it fit like a glove. Great length through the torso and arms and excellent articulation in the arms and shoulder.s This top has been designed from the ground up with the performance paddler in mind. This top will be perfect for the 50 degree water/air range. A perfect piece to add to your spring kit. We have all sizes in stock, but limited quantities. #PerformanceInspired #MockeTough #Equinox #FreeShipping #TCSURFSKI
