paddleboarding the canal

our fourth of july morning was spent

paddleboarding the san rafael canal

in the north bay with our cute friends.

it was the BEST possible way 

to start the best holiday! we

crossed the foggy golden gate bridge

and drove into sunny san rafael.

we went to 101 surf sports for our

adventure... we loved it so much!

seriously we cannot recommend this

place more. you drive 20 minutes from

the city and you're at the happiest, most 

laid-back shop renting paddleboards 

and paddling down the darling canal 

filled with boats. we paddled the 1 mile 

out to the opening of the bay, which

was perfect. it was so sunny and

great weather. paddleboarding is

the most relaxing thing- - why is it

so soothing? i loved every second

and it was a great escape from the

city. who knew san rafael constantly has

sunshine? we'll definitely be back soon :)

^^ such a pretty day in "sun" rafael :)

^^ having paddle wars

^^ chase started to get fancy learning new tricks

from cort, one of the owners. {see him below}

what a fun day! this really is the 

perfect way to get a taste of summer

in the foggy city, and you can come from

all over the bay to try this place out.

cort & dave are the best, and you'll love it.
