Maui Jim patented proprietary technology keeps the sunny days crisp and distortion free, while keeping the occasional overcast, cloudy days brighter and more clear.
What was once a small sunglass company started in the old whaling town of Lahaina, Maui in the early 1980’s has evolved into an international optical leader in premium eyewear.
Maui Jim sunglasses achieves this extraordinary task by eliminating 100% of UV light and makes reference to UVA as “Aging” light known as “long wave” light which contributes to the aging of skin and tanning.
A patented 9 layer design including a water proof coating, an anti-reflective “bounce back” layer which prevents eye fatigue, a scratch resistant clear coat, and an optically correct distortion free lens that is bonded to a proprietary polarizing film to eliminate glare and transmit more usable light, insures that your view is the best view! And with over fifty styles to choose from, it’s safe to say that other’s “view” of you will be pretty good too.

I have the pleasure to know and refer my clients to Susan. Her approach to food, especially raw cuisine brings nutrition and eating from the earth to a whole new level. She has offered to share her endless knowledge and experience of incorporating living raw food to make food fabulous and functional. My clients enjoy tasty, healthy food preparations while learning the important benefits of eating food in entire new way.
Susan has lectured all over the country and is eager to share with us ”The 3 Most Powerful Jewels to Know About Nutrition”. This topic encourages the deletion of specific diets and encourages to “eat from the Earth & not the factory”.
She is a captivating and dynamic speaker and I look forward to learning more and so will you!
Susan Teton Campbell, an evangelist for great food, began her career when she went to work with John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America and Healthy at 100. While working with notable health professionals and environmental authors, she co-authored the Healthy School Lunch Action Guide with endorsements from the USDA, California State Child and Nutrition Department, and Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. With an award winning curriculum Ms. Campbell toured the country, inspiring students to choose healthier foods and school to serve them. Convinced that food is a significant factor in rising epidemic of youth-related health issues, Ms. Campbell continues her educational work with a new multimedia project titled Essential Cuisine, a culinary system combining great taste and smart food.
The History of Essential Cuisine
“When I learned about raw living foods, my world changed. People said my signs of aging had reversed. I was in love with my new cuisine, and I was inspired to learn more. My dietary regime expanded into more cooked food, cultured foods, and foods full of high functionality.
Over the years I made it my personal and professional quest to discover all I could about the growing industry of organic and natural foods. While lecturing in schools around the country I combed every health food store for the best products available. I attended natural product trade shows for over a decade and visited milling facilities and organic gardens. I also experimented with my own body and health challenges, as some dietary regimes are not for everyone. I began to enjoy the best of all worlds and create a cuisine for the twenty first century – a regime that worked for me in today’s busy world.
Tommy and I would like to welcome Clay Everline MD, as our Team Physician, who is volunteering his time and expertise to be available on the day of our event! He is a delight to know and is currently on staff at Kaiser as their Sports Medicine Specialist.

Stand up paddling or SUP is a fun way to get in shape. It does require a little upper and lower body strength and really targets your core muscles. Here are a few exercises for you to try to improve your upper and lower body endurance:
1.Leg Squats:
Imagine sitting in a chair, keep heels on ground, look straight ahead. As you come up for the next rep, keep knees slight bent to avoid locking them. Do about 2 sets of 10-15 reps.
Leg Squat
2. Shoulder/Front Alternating Arm Lateral and Side Raises:
If you’re just starting out, start with lighter weights and work your way up to heavier ones. You don’t want to compromise good form. If you start to struggle a little bit on that last rep, try to avoid any swinging motion of the body. Stand with soft or slightly bent knees, posture up and shoulder back. At a decent tempo, raise right arm just up to your chin, left arm, then to the side. Attempt 2 sets 10 -15 reps
Alt arms front raises
Lateral side raises
3. Regular and knee bent pushups:
Pushups don’t have to be hard, so don’t avoid them because they are very good for your upper body strength to help you to your feet faster. You will get stronger if you do them everyday. Remember breath out as you come up, don’t lock the elbows, keep your head in a nuetural position. Avoid doing a “head” push up which is cheating – bring your butt down as you lower your body. Wider shoulders target more chest, hands closer into body targets more triceps.
Pushups
4. Core Plank:
Your core is heavily worked when you stand up paddle. Another reason to SUP! The basic core plank challenges all your deep floor pelvic muscles radiating outward towards your lower spine, abs and glutes. Remember to draw in your belly button in front of your spine, keep your head and bum down, and keep breathing. Avoid grasping your hands in front of you. Time yourself – 15, 30 – 60 seconds! To advance this move, raise the rear leg, hold for 15 seconds, then switch.
Start Core Plank Position
Advanced Core Plank
These should be a great start for anyone who wants to be stronger for the sport of stand up paddling.
