WHAT'S COMING UP... 
SUP DAWG? 

Next weekend is our Soundsurfer event - it's for everyone, even your dog.  Mark and Bailey (left)  started paddling together a week ago, and they've signed up! 

Soundsurfer is about children and families, having fun, being healthy, and supporting the environment.  Your $95 donation helps children with diabetes, our local Harborwatch, Al's Angels and FOCUS (for our children's unlimited success).

To participate in Soundsurfer you don't have to raise money - we know there are so many causes out there, and appreciate anything that you can do.  Register now, as the cut off is Thursday at midnight. 

Clinics from Professional SUP Athletes - open to all levels of experience
Why take a clinic?
  • Learn to paddle more efficiently, and avoid injury
  • Look good - maybe get a ripped core! 
  • Learn to race - keep up with (or beat) your mates

Wassup this weekend in Rowayton 
  • Saturday & Sunday 2-4:30pm Guided Tour with Nunz to the Fish Islands!     

We were so sorry to hear that Mrs. Felder, owner of the Fish Islands, has passed.  Our respects go out to her family.   I met the Felders years ago when Downunder was just a baby -   they were amazing people.  Their home on Contentment Is. Darien faces the islands which they generously shared with the public.  While the Fish Islands are private, paddlers may enjoy the waterline up to high tide.  You are not allowed to walk the interior of the islands - and shouldn't, as it is a bird sanctuary, and now is when they're nesting.
