Stand Up Paddle Event

This location is shown only to members

Atlanta Surf Posse is having a Stand Up Paddle Event. We will coordinate getting the stand up paddleboards. All skill levels are welcome. It's free.

UPDATE:

The location will be Lake Spivey 30 miles south of Atlanta. We will have a private dock and it's a great setup.

We need to carpool to minimize cars at the lake. We will meet at the Toys R Us parking lot in Buckhead (1 Buckhead Loop, Atlanta, GA).

Please email or call if you can drive a car. (WE NEED DRIVERS.) Also let me know if you plan to drive separately (TRY TO CARPOOL), or if you want us to pick you up on the way out of town. (We will be heading down I-75.)

Try to be at the Toy's R US parking lot by 1245pm so we can be "wheels up" at 1pm. Please update your RSVP if your plans change.

You can reach Steve at [masked] or [masked].

UPDATE#2

We are going to stick to the plan for the stand up paddle event. Hopefully we can dodge the weather. Please update your RSVP if your plans change. Tom from YOLO has a new 10'6" surf style SUP to check out and plenty of other SUPs. Howard Hsu has invited us to his business Gezzo's Surf and Grill at 1866 Jonesboro Road, McDonough, GA 30253 (Target Shopping Center) after the paddle event.

    I am still trying to finalize a place for the meetup. I am working to locate a private lake, but it is taking additional time. The backup plan will be to go to Lake Lanier.

    We battled the rain but pulled this one off. We unloaded the boards during the downpour, waited for a break in the lightening, and then had a great paddle. Thanks to YOLO (www.yoloboard.com) for driving up from Florida to supply the boards and for George for snapping the pics and providing the drinks. For anyone that bailed on the trip, just contact me about going another time. For those that attended, please add +2 to your core score. Thanks for coming out.
