Wow...speaking of appreciation...check out the heartfelt thank you letter that Terri Wargo wrote to the Starboard team after winning the 10'5" Drive Terje Haakonsen (TAC) model at Battle of the Paddle...we all said that it couldn't have gone to a nicer person...serendipity...



"Wow, this adventure of living and sharing the dream just keeps getting better and more exciting by the moment. How blessed we are to able to explore God's beautiful creation, especially on my new SUP that we won at the Battle of the Paddle (thank you so much, we are ever so grateful.) Everyone who sees it can't get over the fact that I'm cruising on a piece of art that is so unique and so versatile whether on flat water or catching waves, I literally feel like I'm flying. I knew when Ekolu Kalama blessed it at Doheny, it was going to have the power of turning moments on the water into mini vacations. As an educator, mom, dog lover, ocean dweller, humanitarian, and one who believes that it is important make the world a better place just by being in it, let us never take anything or anyone for granted.

Celebrating life by living life to the fullest.

With much appreciation,
Terri, Allison, & Benny"
