Happy New Year!

It’s been a great year so far and I’m looking forward to the rest of it! Very excited about my latest sponsor Naish. I’m looking forward to being a part of the team and riding their boards for all of my upcoming races and adventures. I was just over on Maui for the day to help with the Stand Up for Womens Health and Fitness. What an awesome event. There were over 300 women who showed up and got their paddle on! Most were beginners and despite the pounding shore break, they grabbed their boards and headed out to sea. Way to go Ladies!

Speaking of adventures…this April, Morgan Hoesterey and I are taking on a rather big challenge… to paddle across all of the Hawaiian Island channels. We’ll start on the Big Island and end on Kauai. We’re doing it to help raise awareness for something we both enjoy and care about: the ocean. We’re hoping that throughout our journey we can make people more aware about the importance of keeping our ocean clean. It’s going to be a once in a lifetime adventure and I’m really looking forward to it. I will post more details next week – we’re finishing up our website and facebook page! I’ve got to kick the training into high (very high) gear.

The surf has been up this past week and bigger swell is on its way here are some shots from the last few days. The last three shots are a sequence from one of my first waves. I had so much fun out there. Thanks to the guys I paddled out with that encouraged me to push my limits! And thanks to Andy Carlson and Earl for the great shots!

Pura Vida,
Jenny
