Title: Second Annual Pay It Forward Paddle Official Report! 6-25-2011
Post by: AlsHobieOutback on June 25, 2011, 08:53:13 PM
What a day!   :smt003  We had an AWESOME turn out for the Pay It Forward Paddle today!  :smt007 The weather could have been a little nicer, but we had a great time floating out by the Red Buoy, on the beach and at the potluck.  The raffle was a HUGE success!  Stay tuned, will get the final reports out soon.   :smt002

Just want to say THANK YOU EVERYONE for all the generosity and the outpouring of support for our brothers Joel and Marv  :smt002  Without all of you, none of this would have been possible.   :smt003

Will have to just start this as a teaser report for now  :smt044  But here are some pics!  :smt004

It was my favorite day last year and the same for this year. Thanks AHulls!!! So many great moments like Craig smoked Raptor, a hail Mary ling, taco throw down and watching shark bait clean up at the raffle. Glad Joel got the rod I made. Sometimes all that is good about life turns out right. Today was a special day for sure.  :smt006

My Girlfriend and I had a great time.  I'd like to thank everyone who made this event possible.  And a huge thank you to everyone who "payed it forward" and hooked it up with the awesome raffle prizes.  I won the Rob Roskopp deck and will be throwing some trucks and wheels on it shortly, stand by for a GoPro video!  It was really nice to see people in the NCKA fam, and meet ones that I havent previously met, most notably the one and only Fishunter.  In the "Sport" of Kayak fishing, your one of the guys who really kept me interested and motivated me to actually accept that I had the madness and buy a kayak.  So yeah, it was super cool for me and my lady to hang with everyone, she had a great time, and because of that, so did I :smt044.  Next up, is to get her to a NCKA overnighter.  Thanks again to everyone who made this possible, especially those of you who Payed It Forward.  It was great meeting everyone who I haven't met before!  See ya at the next one!

Jeff

thanks Baitman and Ravensblack for the duel and raising some serious cash.  A hulls, you guys rock.  I toss in a few bucks and feel almost (almost  :smt002 ) bad about leaving with more goodies than I could have bought.  That dive board is going to see a lot of use from shark_bait.  Thanks Bloodbath.

Yakhopper used Shark_baits net for the salmon.  First salmon that net has seen.  Hopefully some mojo rubbed off :smt003 

all the food was amazing but I have to call out special notes to the sausage grilling team.  One grilling, one cutting, trying to keep up with a pack of hyenas  :smt044 .  Carnitas from heaven, lamb of the gods...

Lets do this every weekend  :smt003

Had a great time as usual with this group. Good food as always. Started out just cruising along talking with everyone around. Decided at the meet up area I would go ahead and fish.  Just trying to get the skunk off of 4 trips. It took a while but finally started get it going. Caught my 1st rockfish and Ling out there. Ling was 21.99999 inches long and went back in. Got back to shore just in time to bail in the 6 inch surf. That makes me 1 for 2 in safe landings. Planned on fishing today, but had to take off last night and get home. Something came up. Here are a few pics.

I am always impressed and touched by the unselfish generosity of this group. NCKA is amazing! Thank you to all the members involved for the hard work you put into this event. Thanks also to the people and companies that donated raffle prizes.

I can't believe how lucky I was during the raffle. Thank you Glen for the GoPro camera, Ben for the great painting, and The Headwater kayak shop in Lodi for the Wheeleez Beach Cart.

Andie and I had a great time (Sam the Pug too) :smt006,

    See there,,,    exactly why Craig  wanted to start the race at 8 am.     We missed out on all the OTW fun...  :smt010
  Didn't miss a thing at the food table though !    FishMaster's Chicken..  Jedmo Ceviche...   There was no shortage of food or drink... or prizes. :smt002
   I was so sore the next day...  Advil didn't help.   Still I had a big smile on my face thinking about it.    Truthfully , if  we were both paddling the same boat  I would'nt have  been able to keep up with The Ravensblack.   It must have been his new paddle...  :smt044       BTW.  Raptors avg speed over that 3.3 mile course was 4.1 mph.    Not too bad for an old man paddling it.
   
 BigJim...  I'm glad you got the Mosquito !   You deserved it after all you put in to make this event happen.  Thank YOU too Sara and Al, and everyone else who made  this event happen.   You're all awesome , and I'm humbled to be in your company.

Having a hard time getting my videos off the card. Oh well, here is my report: I had fun.



Seriously though, it was awesome! Got to the vet's memorial campground at 11:30 or so, and all the A-hulls were asleep. Woke all them briefly, and was told to go to sleep. Woke up at 6 and headed for the launch. Shilo at my side, we embarked on our journey.  I, naturally caught the first fish, a little copper, but the skunk would not be spraying and my dog gets to live! Then I get another one, a tree rockfish, very cool fish, never caught one that far north, usually just around San Diego, so it was kinda neat. Then Shilo caught a tree fish too! Finished the day with two blacks, copper, and tree rockfish, two sandabs. Shilo, got a gopher, tree, black, and two sandabs. The food was great, special kudos to the WSB ceviche! The raffle was awesome!! I won a spa treatment packet, and payed it forward to the old lady pretty darn fast! I also payed forward the other prize of a kayak rental to someone who could use it, and seeing the generous nature, that only NCKA has, was nothing short of having fun. Great to see Marvin and Mooch looking great, and on the water again! So to not bee too long winded, and to paraphrase, I had fun.

Thank you, everybody!

fun just hanging out on the water with everybody while having some adult beverages. :smt002 Congrats to Daniel for winning the grand prize of the day. I
know for a fact that many of his shore buddies will love him for that. :smt003 Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

regarding the food......


I want to congratulate Scott / Greatbass2 for winning the  T.T.D.  " Taco Throw Down". The spice on the meat was truly mouth watering. (Scott would be a good neighbor to mooch from :smt002)

Special mention also goes to....

*Chucke's ceviche....I ate a good portion that chuck was kind enough to put aside from me. It never made it home cause i did want to share it with my sister....but let's keep that between us  :smt002

*Jedmo's poke tuna was also da bom  :smt007 I was tempted to keep that dish to myself but......

*Tracy's sausage was also yummy!

* Fishunters wife gave me a nice serving of her famous tomato salad with the special dressing!

Did not get to try a lot of the other dishes...I can only blame those dam cancer meds that I'm currently taking  :BangHead:

Anyway, many thanks to all that contributed to the pot luck and especially to all that cooked!!!

Joel / Mooch ....also known as the NCKA Unofficial Food Critic.....

*PS. Thank you to Rey Lapu Lapu and Glen G-Whiz (now known as Carbon Fiber) for feeding me some pizza and letting me stay at their hotel on Saturday night. I really needed that jacuzzi  :smt045 I'm glad my speedo pics were not posted  :white

As usual, I had a blast. Some of my highlights of the trip were:
Camping with my folks Friday night.
The Poetry Man (and the hex he put on Andy).
Bathtub Cheese.
Fried goodness.
4 visits from the campground rent-a-cop.
Late night raccoon shootings.
OTW kamikazes and pina coladas.
Live tako consumption.
Fishunter sighting.
Food coma.
Flying by Chad and Grace on the way home...twice.


Will try to post some pics a little later.

I flew past Chad and his outrageous new GF also. WTG Chad boy! Yes the food was off the hook. I didnt get a chance as Linelle was in the E-room with her Mom the day before so I will have to make up at Albion. Scott, thanks for the great tandoori lamb. Simply delicious!  Marvin for the mini-me burgers and everyone else. Its was really the best yet and I was starved after the paddle. Lost my 150.00 Smiths on the ditch out by the can. :smt010

Was a little late getting down to Monterey but got to see everybody launching out of MBK.
Quite a sight to behold! Launched and Craig was already to the buoy so I hung back and got a couple pics of him riding his victory wave into the beach.   :surf   Smile says it all!

Glad to see Mooch & Marv were able to make it down and wishing them the best as always.
Also good to see all other NCKA peeps. Looking forward to seeing everybody again @ Albion!
Sent in my 'papers' today.  :smt027 jim

Another cool PIF 2011 story:

I'm chilling with Jim. We're just hanging out shooting the shiz/drinking some brews when I commented on his cool ncka sweatshirt. I said, "I gotta get myself one of those." Having not seen the back of his shirt I didn't realize it was a sweatshirt from GS5 until he pointed it out. I told him I'd just be stoked to buy one of the regular ncka sweatshirts. Not 5 minutes later I'm making a trip over to my car to grab some gear for the raffle and I turn around and there is Jim, holding out the same sweatshirt that I had just been talking about. He says,"Hey Deva, here you go buddy."

Big Jim literally gave me the shirt off his back.  :smt004

How cool was that?

Thanks for the sweatshirt Jim!! You are the man!!

I take back all that bad stuff I said about you  :smt005

Oh and I'm calling off the hit I put out on you after you super soakered me in the face on the sail back to the beach  :smt002

The pay it forward paddle was a great event.  I'm a newb to the NCKA seen but everyone I met and talked to couldn't have been nicer.  What a great group of people, I'm going to have to get more involved in events like this.  Great day, great people, great grub, and to top it off I even caught some fish!
