YOLOlitas and Aqua Men take race!!!
Friday, August 29, 2008
Destin's HarborWalk Village was an amazing setting for the 4th race in the YOLOboard StandUp Paddle Race Series. Spectators lined the wharf to watch the competition. Team YOLOlita took the women's division, and Team Aqua Surf Shop won again in the men's division.
The paddlers braved the outgoing tide and at the turn-around on the north side of the Destin bridge, it was a swift paddle back-- riding the current back to the finish line. Special thanks to Ric Bos of HarborWalk Village for hosting the event. Be sure to catch the next race on Sept. 18 at Bud n Alley's, Seaside , FL.

YOLO listed as best TOY!
Tuesday, August 19, 2008
Garden and Gun Magazine
featured
featuredYOLO BOARD
as "Best Toy of the New South" in their Sept./Oct '08 issue.
"YOLO Original Stand-up Paddle Board"
The paddle-surfing wave is sweeping up everyone from beach-going families to hard-core flats anglers. These hybrid-ized surfboards allow riders to stand upright while using a long single paddle to glide across the water's surface.
"Pretty much anyone can do it," says John Denney, co-owner of East Coast Paddle Surfing in Jupiter, Florida. "But the feeling is just unbelievable!" The 12-foot-by-31-inch YOLO(You Only Live Once) board is an excellent choice for a stable, all-around model, whether you're looking to shred frothy waves or simply take in the view while "walking" on top of a glassy inshore creek."
-Garden and Gun Magazine, Page 74, Sept./Oct. 2008 issue
Another local "best" listed in this issue of Golf & Garden is Watersound Beach's Origins Golf Course, which was designed by Davis Love III and his company, Love Golf Design.

Next Race Slated for Thursday, August 14th on Western Lake (WaterColor BoatHouse Access)

Previous first place winners Aqua Surf Shop came in second followed closely by Team RYNO in third.
