east of maui boardshop: Stay well. Stay safe. Stay stoked

Wow! Where to even start? Can anyone even have imagined?
Who even heard the words "social distancing" before three months ago? Now they are words to live by...literally. Facemasks? We wore them snowboarding or for sun protection, not to the grocery store.
I don't think anyone expected 2020 to be like this. We sure didn't. After a lackluster local snow season, we were so ready to jump into spring with both feet, not lock our doors.
We wanted to windsurf, to foil, to surf, to SUP, to kite, to skate and to help our customers do it too.
So many things put on hold, rescheduled, and cancelled. It is not just East of Maui. It is not just Annapolis. It is not just Maryland, It is not just the US. The whole freaking world is affected by this Covid Virus and is SHUT DOWN!

Fortunately, the State of Maryland has recognized that exercise is beneficial to health, and staying well. At the time of writing this, Maryland has allowed for selected recreational activities, including Stand Up Paddling as legal forms of exercise.
No, this this is not the time to get all rad and extreme. It is the time to use a little extra caution, keep your distance from others, get out there and get a little exercise, and stay safe. Be grateful we are not completely confined to our homes like so many others around the world.
