Big ginormous Mahalo to all who competed in the event. Everyone paddled hard, exhibited great sportsmanship and filled the beach with Aloha. Thank you so much for making my fledgling event a success for the 2nd year. 

If anyone is interested in their paddle time, just send me an email.  Special thanks to all the volunteers and to Freedom surf shop, Tula Adventure Sports and to Mule Transport Systems. The free swag was much fun to pass out. Thanks again everyone. I look forward to next years event!

According to City Traffic Engineer, Mike Shahsiah, the shoulder paving project commencing today, Monday July 19th, should take 1 to 2 weeks to complete (Closer to 1 week without weather delays).

The project will add a 5-6 foot section of shoulder paving along the south side of Shore Drive from the sidewalk at Bloom & Beech St. to Kendall St.  The existing pavement from Beech to Wake Forest (and a few other small sections) will be milled and paved.  Areas without existing paving will have new pavement added.  These areas are mostly between Wake Forest and Kendall.  After paving is complete, both shoulders (north and south) along Shore Drive will be striped to show a 3-4 foot bike area.
