No Wind? Need to work out? Try our SUP's



We have tested and used the Inflatable Sevylor Boards, and it's an exciting way to work out core muscles. Also, easy to carry it around and TRAVEL with it. (We Ship to Europe and Latin America)

Besides is fun and have a lot of benefits, to your body.

Imagine standing on the surface of the ocean, moving freely over the waters, surfing rolling waves. It's a peaceful and energizing experience. You're doing stand-up paddling. It's an amazing overall body workout that has recently become an addictive fitness alternative for guys like powerhouse surfer Laird Hamilton, celeb Matthew McConaughey, and ex-NFL great Bill Romanowski.





What's SUP?

Stand-up paddling, sometimes shortened to SUP, is done standing up straight, with feet parallel, on big, floating surfboards. The boards are thicker and wider than normal surfboards because that parallel stance demands width and stability. Standing on the board, you propel yourself forward over the water and waves with a strong, lightweight paddle (usually made out of carbon fiber).



The paddler grips the butt end of the paddle in one hand and wraps his other hand about halfway down the handle. The correct posture of SUP is standing with knees slightly bent, and the proper stroke requires the paddler to bend forward at the waist, demanding strength and stability. The combination of wind and waves requires dozens of micro adjustments to balance, and coordination of all your muscles.

Full-Body Benefit

For pure exercise, SUP can be enjoyed on calm stretches of flat water anywhere. But to take it to the next level, you can also paddle out to catch a wave. Chris Mauro, editor of Surfer magazine, is a father of three children and doesn't have a lot of time, so he paddles out to sea on his 11-foot SUP at San Onofre, Calif., to combine his workouts with his surf session. Mauro believes the hype about the fitness effect of SUP. "I can actually quantify the results. I became the RBI leader on my softball team after I started jacking way more homers. There's crazy shoulder-building potential there," he says. In addition to the immense fitness benefits, SUP is a great way to beat the crowds at the beach. To me, that's the whole idea behind the sport," Mauro told MF.

Marshall Coben is a Malibu resident who has been SUP for about five years. The 5'11", 172-pound surfer has a 12-foot board that he says is great for paddling but also good for riding waves. Either way, Coben says the physical benefits of SUP are undeniable. "SUP has developed my hand, arm, stomach, and back muscles. I'm much fitter and find paddling to be so easy I could do it all day. It's more pleasurable, and because of the balance issues it works your body from head to toe. Ankles get worked, fingers, toes. You become a stronger person all around."

For guys who love water and fitness, stand-up paddling boarding is definitely the best new addiction around. Like a lot of new sports, it isn't cheap, but the investment is well worth it to get an unbeatable workout that tones and tans--while the endorphins flow.

SUP GEAR

Rental boards will get you through your lessons, but when you are ready to take on SUP as a regular consider investing in your own setup. There's a lot of brands and gear out there, but considering space, price and performance, we decided to push the inflatable ones, since the price is right;

Good performance, as a kiter we travel a lot trying to find some wind, saying that "SIZE MATTERS" we can travel with this board as a backpack!!!

On the top of that, we found that the inflatables are great for schools and beginners, since we can't get a ding or scratch, that will cost you $$$$.

Best of all, you can own yours (affordable) instead of paying big bucks.

Omar Barba: KITEBOARD ART DESING

The messages of their work arise of the hidden color and the evil line and celestial, that in ocres suggests a pregótico born in the caves of Altamira and captured by the imagination of Omar Barba.

Without formalisms neither snobbish labels, possesses a very own sanctuary, influenced by the creative nothing. By its intimate obsessions and serenity that has started to the life and charged to the existence.

Its pictures belong to provocative vanguard that goes beyond the view. They are lost in the infinite of the memory. Who be chirped that their works are only to be seen or to be looked at, is mistaken. Its painting lives in an intimacy, where the personal mythology, calls to the answer and at the same time to the enigma. As well as occurs with all the unlimited thing and indescribable.

Its pictures are a chromatic plan that carries us to find part of our parallel worlds. To look at the fantastic geography that Omar materialises in his painting, is requested the spectator to leave the expectant view and to climb to the world of the abstract and complex mythologies. Be presented front to set against the painting with the clean eyes, the surprise to slopes and without fear to journey for the march of the amazement. Being convinced that that pictorial biology, possesses a beyond and that only is a window where initiates the assembly to the infinite thing, the Initiation that later carries us to walk for the unconscious worlds where the Man only is what imagines.

In the end of the experience, without doubt the eyes will have themselves exorbitant. Just as when the arrival of the destiny is felt. Soul and body will be extenuated and in the ecstasy. Nobody will be again the same one! Thus is the trip: the ascent, the significance and the abyss.
