Hello my name is Eugene aka Zipper (nickname Bushy Gave me) I am new to The Santa Cruz kayaking community and I would love to meet up with some people when they are going out. I had the pleasure to go out with Bushy last weekend and we had a great time! I learned so much about Ocean kayak fishing from him and I would definitely recommend going out with Bushy if you are new to help build your confidence on the water and learn from the master. I hope to meet some NCKA soon.

ZIPPER!!!!!

WTTM.  You're part of the club now.  Keep posting  and keep fishing!  Truly a pleasure meeting you and spending the day together.  You're an awesome dude!

anyone curious about Zipper's nickname, ask him to lift his shirt!  Sincere gratitude for your service and your sacrifice.  Remember, "The Madness is the Cure!!"

We'll get out together again soon, I promise.
