Join us Saturday for a paddle out at OB’s dog beach (4pm) in honor of and to celebrate the lives of Callum and Jake Robinson and their friend Carter Rhoad. Though I only knew Callum for a short time - I feel truly privileged to have laughed with him and been affected so greatly by his positive, kind, and competitive energy. Please consider donating to Callum and his brother Jake in support of the Robinson family (link in bio).
