There is nothing better than salt in the air and sand in my hair (what's left of it).

Steve Murakami Paddle Out

So, last Saturday we had a paddle out for one of the regulars at uppers, Steve Murakami. Steve passed away in June. He was always parked in the bay waiting for the ones that swing wide. It was an amazing day Saturday. Balmy calm morning with 3'-5' waves peeling through. The bay had some really good waves pushing through in tribute to our brother Steve.  Steve's wife and daughter joined us on the beach for the ceremony. 

Steve always had a smile on his face and was stoked to paddle out in anything. Many times, I was ready to go up dry and he would convince me to paddle out anyway. Never regretted it. Well, almost never😁. He was very dedicated to his wife and daughter; they were his absolute #1 priority. 

I will miss him the rest of my life.
