Islanders give demos in paddle boarding at Boat Show

August 10th, 2010 at Tue, 10th, 2010 at 12:55 pm by Megan Managan

We’re just about a month away from the second Round the Rock paddle surfing race here on Mercer Island.

Northwest Paddle Surfers Jeff Underwood and Dan Eberhardt are going to be showcasing their paddle boards and the sport during this weekend’s Seattle Boat Show.

The pair will be offering free demonstrations throughout the boat show, in between wake boarding demonstrations.

If you’ve been looking for a chance to try this out, definitely give it a try.

The Round the Rock race on Sept. 12 will feature hundreds of local and elite paddlers going around Mercer Island. I’ll have more on this event as we get closer. Paddle on!
