Happy Anniversary to Us! As my wife and I paddled across the lake on our paddle boards on our 12th Anniversary, our two girls perched on the nose of the boards…I had to chuckle. 12 years ago, as we exchanged our vows, I could not have imagined the amount of fun that we’d be…

1st SUP of the Season
It’s been a long winter here in Indiana. Between teaching, coaching, and finishing up grad school…Life has been busy. I had hoped to get some serious snow-kiting in this winter, but the snow never materialized locally (though it was plenty cold). We had snow, but never in sufficient amounts or with the needed winds. It…
A Touch of Nordic and HopSlam
Winter in Indiana offers little excitement in the realm of extreme sports, but occasionally I luck into a little fun. We had a healthy dump of snow last night and I woke up sufficient snow to go out for some cross-country skiing. On my way to get out skiing, I lucked into one…
More SUP’ing with the Dog
One of my favorite ways to spend a fall afternoon is fishing off a paddle board with my dog, Sparky. I usually don’t catch enough for a fish sandwich, but it’s very relaxing to head out onto the water and take in the scenery. Sparky and I usually have a great one-sided conversation.

Zero to Hero Kite Lessons
Our happy clan of adventure seekers recently returned from the most EPIC of adventures to Real Watersports in Waves, NC in which my wife and I both learned the ancient (not really) art of kiteboarding. Our happy little clan made the trip to Cape Hatteras this past spring break. We spent…
Winter Winter Winter
We are just waiting around day dreaming about this new chapter of ours to take off. It is so hard waiting! Indiana hasn’t brought us very much snow this winter so we are stuck in grey/rainy land. Meanwhile, with our camper at the mechanic, we also can’t continue work on that until it is done….
Setting Up For Safety
The Camper is at the mechanic for a safety inspection and its various mechanical needs such as oil change, tune-up and look through. Ben is getting to work getting our reservations for the trip to North Carolina and he is dreaming almost hourly about the wind and what he will get to do with it!…
