I recently went exploring via paddle board with a long time friend, Kim Hull, of Flow Paddle Tours, and her friend Alecia. Kim is a marine biologist, excellent photographer, paddle boarder and has been studying dolphins in the Pine Island Sound Area for over fifteen years. While paddle boarding we had a great time talking about cameras, dolphin, paddle boards and the future of our businesses. After paddling, we took a break and shelled the beaches. Kim found an Albino Fighting Conch which I am sorry to say that I did not get a picture of. She captured the photo above of me holding a live Albino Lightning Whelk which we returned back to the water. Kim is a true water person who has helped me with my photography and is always a knowledgeable resource of marine life. I look forward to the next excursion on the water.
I've never used a paddle board – it looks like fun!
Do it! I love the paddle board. It alows me to go places and collect shells that most people don't go:)
Looks like fun. The photo of you kneeling on your board is a good one!
I love paddle boarding. I hope to come back some day and explore more of the island!
Hi Brian,
What an amazing day on the water we had! I was just looking at my shells, I love mini's… I'm sure Kim sent you all the pics, but I'd like to upload a few that I love. Let me know when the shell shows are, I'd like to enter a few of my finds. And thank you so much for going above and beyond to make sure my most fragile shells made it home safe and sound!! Alicia
