Taste::

Charlie Papazian, president of the Brewers Association, published the following tasting notes for Pabst Blue Ribbon in 2008: “A contrasting counterpoint of sharp texture and flowing sweetness is evident at the first sip of this historic brew. A slowly increasing hoppiness adds to the interplay of ingredients, while the texture smooths out by mid-bottle. The clear, pale-gold body is light and fizzy. Medium-bodied Blue Ribbon finishes with a dusting of malts and hops. A satisfying American classic and a Gold Medal winner at the 2006 Great American Beer Festival.”

The consumer confidence index is up in Washington, DC…and, all across this country…at least, in regards to SUP and staycations…

We had a family visit our shop recently to pick out a quiver of SUP’s to ship back to their home in Washington, DC for use on the Potomac River…

This is nothing new to us…as we’ve been shipping standup paddle boards to both sides of the aisle in our nation’s capitol for years…

You definitely can’t judge a book by it’s cover…people of ALL political persuasions LOVE standup paddling…;-)

All crated up for the cross-country journey to the land of the founding fathers…

Rumor has it that President Obama has enjoyed standup paddling on one of his trips back to Hawaii…who knows…maybe he’ll bring a little island style SUP aloha back to the White House…and, spread the SUP love all over the world…one can only dream…NO FORKS…NO NUKES…;-)

Won’t you please hear the call…

earth 1200 Put The Message In The Box
one board Put The Message In The Box
We are all connected as we pioneer this amazing watersport on our water planet…

Just saying…;-)

And if you listen now
You might hear
A new sound coming in
As an old one disappears
See the world in just one grain of sand
You better take a closer look
Don’t let it slip right thru your hand
Won’t you please hear the call
The world says…

Put the message in the box
Put the box into the car
Drive the car around the world
Until you get heard

Now is the moment
Please understand
The road is wide open
To the heart of every man
A few simple words
So a mule could understand
He don’t want tomorrow
If it’s just crumbling into sand
Won’t you please hear the call
She says

Until you get heard

The World says
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
Cos I’m waiting right here with my open arms
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your soul to me
Cos I’m waiting to behold your many charms
Is that love in the air?
She says

Until you get heard
Until you get heard
Until you get heard
Until you get heard

World Party (1990)
