This image about sums it up for everything I like about paddleboard racing.
- This is not a sprint race; it’s the beginning of a 22 mile channel crossing, but everyone in it looks like they’re out for blood. Seriously out for blood.
- The Redondo Rocket trading paint (“ramming speed!”).
- DJ looking like she could can-opener your head off with her arm (note: she can).
- Aussie traveling over to just to make you look bad by making it look easy (nice new board too!).
- Up-and-comers who will, no doubt, breathe down your neck in 3…2…1…
- Max checking out for what will be an inspired paddle — hell, the guy isn’t even the picture!
Everyone…feet up, getting after it, and having a good time. I don’t need a ‘motivational’ poster or video; I have these folks.
Results Tommy Zahn Downwind Paddleboard Race
Good day racing. 3rd place stock division; 2:02. Conditions were perfect. Did we get wind…yes we had wind. Did we have sun…sun was had. Was the surf absolutely firing…yes surf was epic.
Pics to come, as most of them were taken by others 🙂
Oh, the best part of the day? — a guy from New York paddled up and asked if I had a blog… Yes, this one…humble little Far and a Wey; it was one of the reasons he jumped on a plane and paddled the Zahn. Honored, stoked…and made a new friend. So cool.

The Weekend Just Got Busy
Doctor has me on meds to stave off walking pneumonia, coughing, and fatigue…good time to sign up for back to back races: Newport Pier 2 Pier Swim (2m) and the Zahn Waterman in Malibu on Sunday (10m). Perfect idea.

Our little marina didn’t disappoint on the 4th of July fireworks this year.
Q: When is it okay to throw the shakka?
Are you “fully hanging loose”? No, no you are not; hence, it is not okay.
If you are nine, and no longer say “Dad, watch this!” every few seconds, but are out ripping up a bit of shore break — yes, you are fully approved to throw the shakka. Just don’t shake it.
