Happy Fourth of July!

Its one of those days that I always remember well, from back in the good old days when we used to raft the truckee river with all of our friends, to the magical hawaiian moments by the Wailua river in Kauai when my Dad would light off fireworks. To me it symbolizes freedom to have fun with your friends!! I didn’t get to see any fireworks this year, but I had a great time with my friends! We had a BBQ and did a standup paddle down the coast. Which reminds me that the annual Maui paddle race is on the horizon!

The race is next sunday and you can check out all the info at http://www.mauipaddleboard.com. I am a little bit nervous this year because I haven’t been training very much and it is a long way!

But hey, I should be used to challenges by now, huh?

Aloha,
Julia
