Stand Up Paddling Workout |
|
Sunday, 27 April 2008 |
|
We keep hearing that standup paddling is a great workout for your body, especially for your core muscles. To prove it Surftech took part in the 2008 Ford Ironman event held in Tempe,
Arizona where they let the athletes test a couple of their stand up paddle surfboards. For
many of them, Surftech’s involvement in the event was
their first introduction to standup paddling. And the response? “It's an amazing workout”, comments Heather Fuhr, 2008 Ironman
Hall of Fame inductee, “You’re just working your core the whole time”. “It’s so much fun, and such a
great workout!”, commented Megan Flanagan of Austin Texas who won her
age group in Tempe in her first ever Ironman event. “ I can’t wait to
get a standup board back home to train on”.

Womens wetsuit market is much better than it was years ago but still - sometimes it is hard for a girl to find a top-end wetsuit. All the latest innovations usually go into mens wetsuits, womens wetsuits are most of the time a few steps behind. Gul is in our opinion one of those a bit under the radar but still very good wetsuit manufacturer and they came up with an affordable, top end multi-sport
wetsuit for girls.

Our Bet Is On Kelly Slater |
|
Thursday, 24 April 2008 |

For a while now all hot surfing fans are able to put their money where their mouth is. How? You can bet on surfing. Since there is now another way to waste your money :) we can at least take a look at the odds. For the world title Kelly Slater is top, best bet you can make will give you 2.3$ for one buck.
Bookmakers feel that unless Slater gets injured he is a walk in for a
9th world title. We'll see. Until then you can also try Teahupoo where again Kelly Slater is a tight favorite at 4.50.

Wave pools. Yuck. Who needs them. Well, just about any surfer that lives more than an hour away from the beach :). We already mentioned the biggest wave pool in the United Sates and another kind of wave pool, that is not an actual pool - in London surfers will be able to surf the Thames river. The company behind the first one is called Liquid Evolution
Adventure Parks (LEAP) and they just launched their own website.
