Travel Log Post from Rapid Transit Blog Surf and Travel. What better combination? Every Surf Paddler’s deepest dream is to surf a virgin break, with very little competition. The photos from this surf trip to Morocco are really beautiful. Travel and surfing is something that I long to do. Laura and I keep talking about …

Job Prevents Kalamazoo Man from Kayak Surfing The surf is building on Lake Michigan. To quote Ben Stiller, I feel the need to grab some time in the green room! I have ordered a composite Mega Neutron. I am hoping it is delivered and available by the time fall rolls around. Until then I feel …

Snotty frozen rain and forty mile an hour winds buffeted me on my morning commute to work. The full winter commuting regalia made it’s first appearance. I think I still need some neoprene booties for my bike shoes. But the fenders and the Bianchi San Jose seem to be holding tight. Except the bloody seat …

Some days you can’t get a break, and then you do… I seem to be on a run of bad luck that won’t quit. I’ve finally gotten all the right gear, the right craft, and enough skill to surf big fall storm waves. But now I just can’t seem to get some good luck. I …
