Slow Half Moon Bay

April 20, 2012 By Jill Robinson

Slow Half Moon Bay

Turning the Corner

September 23, 2010 By Jill Robinson

For the past month, I’ve been learning to surf on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP). No, I’m not on vacation at a surf camp. I’m just going out to a local break about three times a week and getting out there. Today, I finally turned the corner. It’s been somewhat of a frustrating experience. At first, […]
