SNOW Way!

Late in the winter when Southern California was hit by a spell of bad weather, the fine people here at URT decided to head for higher elevation and avoid the fresh bacteria soaked beach shores from the flowing storm drains. We loaded up the “URTstream” trailer and strapped down a few paddleboards and all-in-ones and headed due East to Cuyamaka Lake. Expecting a lush green sun beaten landscape we were assaulted with the last thing on our mind, SNOW.  A few momentary glances at each other and some omniscient nods and the boards were off the back of the truck and the trunks were on. We didn’t create the situation, but we were gong to take advantage of it.

Blanketed by fog, the lake was ours. The calmness and the chill of the water behind a white backdrop created an unforgettable experience, numbing actually. It wasn’t till we dipped our feet and hands in boiling hot coffee that we snapped back into reality.
