This is Greg, who used to be my boss. Almost 5 years ago, I filmed myself tendering my resignation to Greg in a conference room, and here we are stand up paddling nearly 5 miles around Dana Point, my old stomping ground. The water is freakishly warm, and we’re pretty happy to say the least.

Dana Point, California, my old stomping ground. Working on this project planted the seed to quit my job and pursue my longtime dream of moving to NYC.

I did not expect to be in the #French #alps this weekend, and I certainly did not expect to be stand up paddling on a #beautiful lake this morning. Sometimes it’s just best to be #spontaneous. If there’s anything I’ve learned in France so far, it’s that the French know how to truly live. #standuppaddle #SUP #frenchalps #chambery #france #nofilter (at Chambéry)

Tonight I felt like a California kid again, alive and free. #SUP #standuppaddle #standuppaddling #maine #magichour (at Freeport, Maine)
