Raw Skin Takes A Spin On The Paddle Board Phenomena

Big breaking news in Carlsbad: Paddle boarding isn’t just for old men anymore. On the contrary, all the cool kids are doing it. We just got off the phone with Sandra of Raw Skin Surf ‘n Sport who was amped to tell us about their new paddle board rentals and lessons. If you’ve got $85 and an 90 minutes to spare, you too can get in on the action. As the first core shop in the area (that we know of) to offer paddle lessons, Raw Skin was quick to see the sport’s popularity and potential. Carlsbad is unique in the fact that in addition to miles of open beaches, the community also has the benefit of the famed lagoon. With it’s serene setting, warm waters and easy accessibility, Carlsbad Lagoon may soon be recognized as the birth place of the paddle board revolution. But don’t our word for it: NFL legend and all-around nice guy Bill Romanowski is a regular on the lagoon—but since we value our health we won’t reveal his secret spot.
