West Coast SUP Trip
Summer is usually not the most exciting time of year to live in St. Pete, Florida. Besides the occasional hurricane, the water is flat and the air is still. For someone like myself who has a severe addiction to wind and waves, summer can be quite depressing. Forget winter blues, I get summer insane! Most years I try to take a trip to help cheer myself up. This summer is no different. Tomorrow morning I am leaving for a west coast adventure for some surfing, kiting, stand up paddle racing, and whatever else I can get into.
My first stop will be Newport Beach to train with Jim Terrell and Larry Cain. Jim and Larry are former Olympic paddlers so I am super excited to soak up as many Jedi paddle tricks as I can. From there we are heading to Lake Tahoe for the Tahoe Nalu SUP race. After a weekend of racing in Tahoe, Jim and I are driving to Hood River, Oregon for the Gorge Paddle Championships. After the Gorge race I will stay a week longer to kiteboard and see everything that the Gorge has to offer. I am especially looking forward to the downwind SUP race where winds can be upwards of 30 mph!
On top of an awesome trip, I am excited to announce the launch of my new revamped Water Monkey website. It has been a great year and a half on my first design and I decided it was time to upgrade. Water Monkey 2.0 has a cleaner look with an easier navigation and even more room for me to post my videos and blogs. I hope you enjoy reading and watching as much as I enjoy putting everything together.
My board sponsor, Fanatic, has also launched a new site featuring the 2012 SUP line. Be sure to check the product catalogue with some great pictures from this years photo shoot.

NO MONKEY BUSINESS! Lake Day: Vlog #5
Today we hit shoulders at our new gym! Then Kaytlin and I took Monkey to the lake to go swimming. Monkey isn't the biggest fan of water but after a while he gets use to it. I hope you liked the story about how we got Monkey!

I have been lifting / bodybuilding for the past year! I try to be as motivating as I can be when it comes to living a healthy life style. Working out is so fun, I just don't understand how some people don't do it. I love Steve Cook, Greg Plitt, Furious Pete, Arnold, Christian Guzman, Strengthcamp, POG, and so many more you tubers! They have motivated me to be the strongest person I can be. I eat like a bro, which means I eat all my whole foods but I also do IIFYM! A lot of my information comes from bodybuilding.com. Philippians 4:13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Catch and Cook - CRAWFISH - in Florida Springs/Caves
We caught some gorgeous crawfish in the beautiful springs of Florida. Cooked them up crab boil style for some good eating!!! I love spending time in the clear spring waters, it's certainly one of my favorite things to do while paddling....
