Title: Pay It Forward Paddle - Vids, Pics and Reports
Post by: ex-kayaker on July 20, 2010, 03:16:58 AM: I shoulda created this thread earlier to have the pics and stuff in one thread (if you posted pics in another thread don't worry I'll move em). I managed to edit 20 minutes of pics down to 4 minutes. I'll post up all the others that didn't make it into the final cut when I get a chance. If anyone wants high res file copies pm me.

I took a lot of pics out OTW. Unfortunately I F'D up and they got erased. I am so pissed at myself. I'm sure glad we had a lot of camaras out there. Only a couple survived from Sunday of Sledge launching on Capitola pier, and a dolphin and otter.

If you haven't used the camera much since, it is possible to recover your photos. When you start to take pictures again, the new ones will gradually overwrite the location on the erased files.

Art, you're video was very cool too. It's one of those timeless images that c/b from the 50s or 80s or the 10s (wait, is that what we're supposed to call this decade WTF?)

You should be able to download it from youtube. But if you really want high quality I can make you a DVD. The camera is flip video HD and waterproof. I've taken it down to 30' and it stayed dry.

Post by: dpshim on July 23, 2010, 11:04:50 AM: Art, Rey, & Al,
Thank you very much for sharing those videos with the rest of the NCKA family!! I'm sorry that I was not able to be otw with the rest of family, but it was a great pleasure to have met some before the launch and during the raffle. I'm looking forward to meeting many more in the near future! :D

I'd also like to paste a post that my friend Pete aka SurfSamurai wrote on PFIC regarding his time with the NCKA family. Thank you all for welcoming him to our family, you guys and gals are genuinely TERRIFIC!!

The pleasure was all mine, Jed... to meet up and yak with you for the very first time on the water... Thank you for inviting me for this great event and also taking care of me on the water for the kayak virgin. Smile

Dan, too bad you couldn't join us but it was nice to see ya again at the raffle later for your support. You're a good man and I'm very proud of you, little brother. Btw, Dpshim donated his beloved G Loomis rod and Jed pitched in two nice boat rods for the raffle... Ryan and Michael, we missed you two as well... It was so nice to see Pat the Sin Coast working hard all morning and day cooking for everyone... Your son, Duke is so cute! V loved him.

As for "Pay It Forward to Paddle", it wasn't really about fishing, yet it was more about friendship and displaying support for the fellow angler, aks "Mooch" who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Nobody really fished, but paddled out together to the mile buoy to ride the wave of spirit for Mooch... I don't know the man, but I must say he was deeply touched and absorbed all the love and support he received that day.

I also have to say, "What a group of friends and legit anglers with a big heart and love on the water!"... I, myself lost my mom with a cancer in many years ago and it was very difficult time for my family and I. So I know in first hand how difficult it would be for Mooch and his family, plus all these friends he made through fishing... There were about 50 - 60 kayakers and their families showed up for support. Man, these people know how to bbq, cook up and drink for this get together. It was a huge GT on the beach. The foods were simply amazing and people at GT were like your own families for real.

Ummm... the raffle prize was insanely generous to say the least... The multiple G Loomis rods, Reels, BBQ Fryers, Lures and the grand prize was a Kayak... Yup, you have heard it right, "Kayak", sir. They are all 100% donation for support of Mooch. The raffle tickets was $20 a pop and many people had a half dozen in their hands. I saw one lady with 20 tickets to $400. The fundraiser hit about $6700 excluding all the donations for the raffle prizes. And I know it was a second kayak they have given away this year already. Many people drove 6 to 7 hours to get to Santa Cruz. Sacramento to Fresno to Modesto to Mendocino to Los Angeles to San Diego to SF bay Area... What a tight anglers, friends and great group of people!
