What evil lurks in the heart of man...
Oh but I do trust that you had an enjoyable evening last night celebrating Halloween with children, friends, loved ones. And did you dress up yourself? Play some whimsical character? Take the little ones door to door for candied treats whilst chatting with the neighbors for the first, and only, time of the year? Go out to a “grown-up” party featuring many naughty kittens and naughty nurses? Fireball whiskey cocktails?
Or are you a very scary necromancer who practices dark magick, lets the evil Ouija board guide your steps, and spent Samhain stand-up paddleboarding with likeminded Satanists?
Redondo Beach’s Daily Breeze is reporting that the chilling, profoundly disturbing occultist roots of SUPing were put on display, yesterday, in the town’s marina.
Dress in black, don a pointy witch’s hat, grab a stand-up board and a paddle — one that can be easily mistaken in the fog as a broom.
It’s the perfect tableau for a spooky Halloween scene.
Organizer Erin Hansen summoned water-loving witches and warlocks for the second annual South Bay Witches Paddle on Halloween day. The Redondo Beach resident had the idea to create the coven last year after seeing a post about a similar event in Morro Bay.
And the idea took off.
To add to the magic, Hansen held a witches costume contest via social media.
Hansen, a sixth-grade math teacher at Chadwick School on Palos Verdes Peninsula, said that since last Halloween came amid the heart of the coronavirus pandemic, seeing everyone on the water, safely having fun, made the inaugural Witches Paddle a gratifying experience.
Terrifying.
As you may, or may not, know, Redondo Beach is next door to Manhattan Beach and Manhattan Beach is home to SUP aficionado, and CEO of the World Surf League, Erik Logan.
Does the idea of The Ultimate Surfer make more sense now?
Satanic.
Witches are not Satanists. We don’t even believe in Satan or hell…rubbish!
There used to be a costume surf contest around Malibu.
Thought it would be funny to get a penis costume and paddle out on an a SUP and drop in on everyone and make everyone exclaim: “Look at the big dick on the SUP!!!”
But didn’t do it.

Please stop equating Witches and Witchcraft with Satan. A witches spirituality and faith are centered in nature, and see the divine as a Goddess, or Goddess and God. Satan and Satanism are strictly constructs of the Christian faith.
Had what alcoholics call “a moment of clarity” and realized a lot of those women burned as witches way back when were probably either bipolar and/or post-menopausal.
I’ve known some bipolar and/or post-menopausal women and their behavior is so strange it’s like they are possessed.
Oahu has had witches paddles on Halloween for the past two years🍍🌴🌺 at night even👽
Scoreboard!
Should have been there yesterday
Perhaps next year we can arrange to have cute little witches’ hats tied to sharks, WHICH could haunt the line-ups.
Be sure to have an extra hat for Zuck so he can swim around in the lineup with the sharks while lathered up in chum
I bought this awesome shark costume for my 2 year old boy but he wouldn’t put it on just kept running away from me I guess he has cred to uphold. We had a good time walking the street though until spiderman ran past us and scared the shit out of him. A red snake made everything better but.
I would have loaned you mine had I known along with the tube of fake blood
better than mid-lengths 0r wave storms
The beauty of winter in MT is tied to the exodus of SoCali soy bois heading back to Cali, leaving untracked backcountry skiing to the more hearty
Haleiwa is the last contest in thirty day’s that decides who qualifies. Probably better for him that he doesn’t have to surf Sunset. It seems like every year he’s close to qualifying then does bad there.
Yea looks like he might qualify. One more contest left and he’s sixth.
You have to want it.

Witch brings us to the point… there isn’t one.
Almost as cool as a dog surfing contest or paddle board yoga.
Erik Logan is a bologna sand witch.
You been purging the forest of animals in Montana?
Yes. Not before I finished drying in my cabin. After which, I contributed to a healthy ecosystem by harvesting fresh meat.
Whereabouts? We just got back.
I have land in southwestern Montana. Went up north to Whitefish area where I have family, and to hunt . Freakin’ love being in Montana!
Cool. We were poking around Kalispell. Got to get the kidz out of Cali.
Say what you will about Elo but at least he’s not Zuck.
Yous means C.U.N.T. Boardings?
See Morro Bay Witches Paddle for Halloween paddling fun, if, like that doofus ELo, SUP is your thing.
The wife and I flew home from the Bay Area for Halloween. So happy returning to the islands, where it’s green and quiet. San Francisco was uglier than I remembered it: grey, noisy, graffiti and human excrement everywhere. It’s Halloween gone bad, 24/7.
It’s normal to see people every day that look worse than any scary Holloween costume downtown.
Yeah, San Fran is one of the coolest cities, and one where you just realize a high concentration of people with mental struggles and others on hard drugs can wreck a community at scale.
Yeah, I’m sure poor leadership in local government has nothing to do with it.
Welcome back Otto! Negs is working on some more badges for you!
Looking forward to the “Owns DHMF” Badge.
Ghosts and gouls are a more welcome site at the lineup (or anywhere for that matter) than any SUPer!
