THE VIBE - OUTDOORS

BIKE BEST BETS

Surfers' Point is a well-known
surf break, as well as one of
the best kiteboarding spots
in Southern California. Right
off the point, when conditions
are right, a series of breaks
creates unbeatable kiteboard
conditions. Winds typically
pick up mid-to-late-afternoon,
so plan your kite-surf sesh
to lead you right into sunset.
Find likeminded folks in
the Ventura Kiteboarding
Association Facebook group -
they welcome newcomers
and beginners, too.

Boarding 2 ways: Ventura has
excellent skateboarding
and kiteboarding.

Meanwhile, by Walden's rough estimate,
close to a hundred young surfers have
passed through his various surf stores
and fiberglass-dusted shaping rooms.
Two of his first employees were Corky
Carroll and David Nuuhiwa, which, if
you don't know surfing, is a bit like having
LeBron James sweeping up your gym.
Some of his young, gangly apprentices
have gone on to take their place among
the most respected shapers in the
business, including Ventura surfboard
shapers Jeff Hull of Resist Surfboards
and Fletcher Chouinard of Fletcher
Chouinard Designs. Again, Walden
doesn't go on about it. "I helped them
learn whatever they needed to learn,"
he says.
These guys, they aren't speech givers.
They'd rather be out in the water or
flowing over concrete walls. They aren't
famous in the way so many want to be
famous, but they sleep sun-soaked with
salt on their lips and happy memories
on their faces. And they're perfectly
happy with that because they've had
special, unsung mentors of their own.
Ask Balton why he's so nice to every
kid (and adult) who comes into his store,
and he says, "Mom wanted it that way."
Maybe there comes a point in life where
you realize that your good life alone isn't
good enough. And, with this realization,
a community is made richer.
Balton tries to put into words what
comes naturally to him. "Sharing yourself
and your knowledge is just the right
thing to do," he says. "So that others
can benefit from what you've learned
and find the joy and accomplishment
that you yourself have found." In the
right hands, and heart, art.

Boards aren't the only way to soak
in Ventura's sublime landscape -
here is a biker's dream, too. Any
pedaler's ride list should include
the oceangoing Rincon Bike Trail
for beautiful coastline views, the
Omer Rains Coastal Bike Trail
for marine wildlife spotting, and
Ventura River Trail for hillside
vistas. Road cyclists will find a
scenic challenge on The Grand
Loop and Lake Casitas Loop; offroaders, enjoy the switchbacks
on the Sulphur Mountain Trail.
