Merry Christmas from TC SURFSKI, having a very mild weather holiday week in Leland, Michigan. Lucky for us Santa came through with just enough wind for a downwind on West Bay on Christmas Eve. Hope everyone else is enjoying the holiday and taking the opportunity to get outside. #HappyHolidays #WestBayFun #SantaDelivers

Not sure I’m quite ready for the harbor to look like this. But the wind is blowing so time to gear up and get out there! #NovemberPaddling

Rocking downwind today from Glen Arbor to Leland. Love this route for all the different challenging conditions it throws at you. 4-7 foot on average with some 9 footers in there. Must have caught one of those when I hit 17.2 mph, an all time top speed. Could not have been more comfortable in the V8 Pro, it is such a great boat. #FallDownwind #GlenArborToLeland #V8Pro #15MilesOfSurfing

The downwind season is upon us! Absolutely stunning day on Lake Michigan paddling the V8 Pro from Glen Arbor to Leland. My only regret is that I didn't add another 13 miles and go all the way to Northport. Lots more wind tomorrow and Thursday. If anyone wants to come out to Leland and paddle let me know. Waves should be 3-6 foot for the next couple days! #DownwindLakeMichigan #GlenArborToLeland #FutureWorldClassRace

Great video on an even greater race. Many thanks to Dan Novak and team for all the hard work in putting this race together. Get it on your summer calendar for 2020!! You won’t be disappointed

Check out these great reviews on the Epic GPX. We've got one Ultra left in stock on end of season clearance for $2,595 ($400 off retail). This is the perfect lightweight, fast, and stable boat for paddling the inland lakes and rivers of Northern Michigan. Contact me at [email protected] if interested

It’s really hard for me to sit in the boat and watch a good wave go to waste. Might as well join the fun while my daughter Willa learns to wake surf. It takes some power to keep up when they immediately accelerate to 11 mph. But the wake surf boats throw a beautiful second and third wave once you get on. #PureMichigan #AllSurfingIsGood #WeekendWithGreatFriends #Moomba
Super fun day paddling the Nelo 520xl in the Gorge Downwind Champs race. I tried to showcase what this boat is capable of. It definitely surfs like a champ and I think I only buried the bow one time. The increased volume is just right and the stability is ridiculous. Many thanks to Michelle and Maggie at Paddle California for bringing the boat up. #Nelo520xl #GorgeDownwindChamps #SurfingBliss

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
