Tommy Bahama Paddleboard Race & Ocean Festival event organizer, Brennan Lindner, and Andrew Rice boarded one of the first trains last Friday carrying standup paddleboards — which the new Metro line allows, along with surfboards, as long as space is available. They headed to the Santa Monica Pier on the new Metro Line to the beach. In doing so became the 1st people in history to take boards on the Metro, then to Santa Monica Pier, and then right into the ocean.

Here's a few shots from their journey.

West Adler is a 16 year-old who loves surfing. In this video he's riding his 9'4" Farberow Model shaped by Scott Anderson and an Album Zero shaped by Matt Parker. Most of the waves are from the Venice Pier and there are a couple of sequences from Zeros back in December. Anyway, they're mostly lefts.
