2012 Kialoa Dragon Hybrid Paddles

This year, Kialoa’s Dragon Hybrid paddle will be offered with a few new color options:  Original Black, Brown Tapa, and Blue Plumeria.   Kialoa just sent me the photos of these blades (see below) and I wanted to share them with you.

In addition to the new graphics, the paddles will have the new silver Kialoa sticker.  The graphics and stickers will be on the front of the blade. Currently, these new graphics are not up on the Kialoa website but they’ll be up soon.

If you are a current LARD paddler, Kialoa will add their large Kialoa sticker to the back of the blade.  These stickers are only offered to Kialoa’s sponsored paddlers.  Contact me if you are a current LARD paddler and want one of these blades.

As most of you know, Kialoa is the official paddle of the Los Angeles Racing Dragons.  Thank you for your generous support, Kialoa!

Interesting clouds this morning in Pasadena.

Clippers v Mavericks

Tony and I went to the Clipper and Maverick game earlier this week.  I rented a 100m f2.0 and took these shots.

Maybe one day I can make it to the floor with the other photographers at an NBA game.

Blake at the pregame introductions.

Delonte West torched the Clippers in the first half.

Blake Griffin.

Blake again.  No Chris Paul that game, so I was focusing on Blake.

Slowing down the shutter a bit.

 

Fireworks at Disneyland

We met up with my brother and his wife for a few hours at Disneyland last night.

Oc1 this morning

Mark, Ken and I paddled this morning before dragon boat practice and headed out to the oil rig. The sky was beautiful this morning.  Usually, it’s a blue cloudless sky when we paddle but today there were some interesting clouds in the sky that made everything look moody.  Unfortunately, I forgot my Canon s95 camera but I had my iPhone 4S with me. Here are two shots from our morning excursion.

I actually found out that the iPhone 4S’s speaker is loud enough to hear music through a waterproof bag so I was paddling to some Counting Crows, James Durbin, Metallica, and Depeche Mode.  How’s that for a mix of music?
