Wednesday, November 26, 2008

Santa Barbara Surfing wants to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to readers everywhere. This weeks Edhat column takes on the topic of Stand Up Paddle Surfing (SUPs), thanks to input from readers of this site and Jim Brewer, owner of Blueline Paddle Surf.

This week we offer a collection of surf related gleanings, but not all are locally related:

• In other NSSA news, Conner Coffin came back from a knee injury and placed 3rd in Men's and 1st in Juniors at SouthWest Open #5.
  
• Chris has a Youtube video up of Depressions.
