These atheletes are in amazing shape and train hard to compete in an event like this. Time on the water, focus, discipline, cross-training and fine tuning each stroke is what it takes. Core training, strength training and being well hydrated and knowing your body’s limits and when you can push it, also help in an excellent time result.

As a SUP enthusiast, athlete, and fitness specialist I’ve seen the transformations of how specific exercises that include upper body endurance, core training as well as balance training  definitely make a difference in one’s performance. 

Don’t forget to call Kelly Moore of Moore Water Time to get you to down the coast faster and enjoy a cool ride. Kelly, I heard you had a full van for this race!

If I can help you enjoy stand up paddling more, lean you out, or condition your body to pass your competitor at the next event, email me or call me.

The Naish 14 Foot Glide is THE ride for Maui North Shore Downwinders Suzie Cooney

It’s no wonder people love the Naish 14 foot Glide. It’s width of 27 1/4″ and thickest point of 5 3/4″ and the nice hard rails and squared off tail, allows one to glide and connect swell after swell, espcially  on a good day with 30 mph winds at your back!  Or even if your just cruising the lakes for a tour, the board is steady and has the nicest sweet spot.  Dropping into Camp One, the swells actually had some size.  I loved how the board handled a decent size drop and held good top speed without hesitation or drag.

Here’s a couple shots Maui photographer, Simone Reddingius snapped as we passed Hookipa, on Maui’s N. shore.  The conditions were perfect, with a NE direction of winds averaging 20-25, and occasional gusts to 30!

The new bamboo composite carbon paddle was incredibly comfortable and the blade width, perfect. The smaller diameter, matte carbon finished shaft and friendly handle is a good combo. It was stable, allowed for a quick paddle entry and exit.
