The Latest In The JBS World.





New pics of the JBS shop in Capo Bch, in the infamous (Surfers Alley). Hobie / Fly International/Glider Paddleboards/ And a lot other really kool giving Bros!
1/16/09  Our latest venture was a cruz up the coast to Santa Barbara with our dear friends Dennis and Katie Forte, our traveling buddies. Dennis grew up in S.B in the Hope Ranch area and knows everybody. We stayed at his good friends place , Byron and Robin Beck, they made us feel right at home, and talk about custom woodworking, Byron runs a top notch finish carpentry company that does some of the finest work I have ever seen. And we loved their outdoor shower too. Fortunately, their house was spared in the recent West Mont fires, the surrounding homes were burt to the ground, just feet away


Sat  1/17 The main reason we went up is to Race stand up! Come on ,that's what I live for, don't you?It's the #4 event in the So Cal Series and what beautiful conditions we had. The short coarse(4.75 mi), which at this time is the only one for SUP,because of time limitations. Since I am now a member Stand Up Paddle Sports ,we hung out with our new family ( Wardog, Debbie, John Becker and crew. I ended up pulling off a 1st in 12"6"class , narrowly beating my new nemesis Byron Kurt ( Hobie Team rider). My wife Andie pulled into 2nd , behind another SUP Sports team rider Vicki Mills , who also  in the long coarse clearly won the womens OC-1 division.( she's pretty Knarley) All in all a great trip. Getting ready for the Hano Hano in Mission Bay this weekend, should be a lot of strong competion! Hope to see ya all there.
