Although this coast attracts millions of people every year, only a handful of people have witnessed it from the water. At Isle Surf and SUP, we want to push the boundaries and experience unfamiliar places for the desire to explore the unknown. For that reason, we got the Isle Ambassadors together and set out to paddle the most famed coastline in North America.
The Launch
As anxiety and excitement built up over months of planning, we were finally here and ready to launch. The waters along this coast have an undeniable power that can send shivers down your spine – and isn’t the place for those who require comfort. If the swell or wind were different than we had hoped for, then all the planning and time spent would’ve been for nothing. Fortunately for us, the conditions could not have been more ideal.
There was definitely a palpable swell in the water which resulted in some sweeping shore break. At a beach like this, your trip can end quickly. As everyone’s jitters were at all-time high we had Ikaika lead us in a Hawaiian prayer asking for good weather, safe travels, and unforgettable memories. Thankfully, we all had a good launch and our expedition had begun!
