Movember

Movember see a very busy month for us at Kia Kaha Canoes & Paddles. With Racing manufacturing and trying to grow a Mow, we are jammed packed with things to do.

First Relay race of the OC1 season in Seaway to Seaway Gold Coast Relay I have my best friend coming over from NZ to partner up with me. We will be racing on a Pahoa Tiger Canoe kindly lent to us by Harvie. Looking forward to the race but conditions are changing and it looks like it might be a flat glassy race this year.

Just arrived for me is my 14ft Naish Glide - Looking forward to getting this one finally out on the water after a delay in delivery we finally can start our new adventure of Downwind tours and training session.

The Idea for this is to get more people out into the Blue Horizon paddling boards or Canoes. We have already started Early Morning training session at Lions Park Noosa Heads - Monday Wednesday & Fridays will see those how show up some great fitness training, proper technique and skills while paddling either in the Surf, flat water or on the Blue Horizon.

21st is the Roar Industries Ultimate SUP Challenge - this year has seen a name change from the Honolua to Roar Industries. This is a great event and I am hoping my new board is ready!

STAND UP PADDLE SURFING TO BE INCLUDED IN SURFING AUSTRALIA’S AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL TITLES AT PORT MACQUARIE

Australian Titles will this year be decided for the first time in the rapidly growing and now well established discipline of Stand Up Paddle (SUP) Surfing.

Surfing Australia announced the inclusion of the Open SUP division into the Country Energy Australian Surf Festival to be run at Port Macquarie during August.

Globally, Stand Up Paddle Surfing has grown in popularity incredibly over the past three years with an abundance of surfers, longboard and shortboard surfers, including a stand up paddleboard in their essential quivers and many dedicating themselves 100% to this discipline.

“The quality of Stand Up Paddle surfers emerging throughout Australia and the world is exciting and there’s many past and present champions of the sport of surfing now very competent and devoted Stand Up Paddle surfers” said Surfing Australia Chief Executive Officer Andrew Stark.

“Take the two finalists at the recent Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach, Joel Parkinson and Adam Robertson, both often seen in the line up riding waves on Stand Up Paddleboards, and then look at past champions like Luke Egan, Tom Carroll and Simon Anderson, all keen riders” added Stark.

“Stand Up Paddle Surfing has established itself in our sport and we are delighted to incorporate it into our Australian Surfmasters this year – the inaugural champion will take a special place in surfing’s history!”

Judging criteria for the Stand Up Paddle surfers have been formulated by the International Surfing Association with an emphasis on use of paddle in performance surfing and radical manoeuvres. The criteria will shortly be available through via www.surfingaustralia.com

Twelve surfers will make up the division this year, three from host state NSW, two from Qld, Vic, SA and WA and one from Tasmania.

The Country Energy Australian Surfing Festival, which incorporates the Oxbow Australian Longboard Titles along with the Australian Surfmasters will run from August 16 through to August 29 as a mobile event through the surf rich region surrounding Port Macquarie.

Outrigger Marathon Nationals at Mooloolaba

This weekend the Mooloolaba Outrigger Canoe Club, is hosting the National Titles for the first time since 1999.  It has won the right to host the event for the next three years.

About 900 paddlers from more than 150 clubs across Australia will come to the Coast for the event, which has competitors aged from 12 to 71 competing.

"Outrigging is a very social sport and it's also very challenging," Lisa said. "My paddling career has been longer than my swimming career.  It's addictive."

President of the Mooloolaba OCC, said the opportunity to host the Nationals three consecutive years was very exciting.

"We've organised it so it bookends the Mooloolaba triathlon. It will really help boost local business."

"I've got my fingers crossed the Weather will clear by the weekend, but at the moment everything is going ahead as scheduled."

Team Rider Dane Wilson Wins Back Beach SUP NFoS 2009

Dane Wilson recently relocated to the Sunshine Coast and he has looked right at home at the GSI Noosa Festival of Surfing.  Dane made the most of the some tiny waves in the Back beach Noosa Stand Up paddle Pro final at First Point, recording 16.25 points with his best two rides to beat Burleigh Heads' James Billy Watson (15.35)

Dane has been living at Peregian Beach for the past six months, after moving North from Cronulla, and said it was the shift that inspired him to take up the Stand up Paddle side of Surfing.  "Since I've been here on the Sunshine Coast, I have really dedicated myself to Stand Up Paddling," the former pro long boarder said.  "It's such a perfect location to be a Stand up Paddling surfer and I'm now right into it.  To win this event is unbelievable. The whole festival is held in the highest regard worldwide and for Stand up Paddling in Australia, this is the biggest and best event.  It's a special feeling to have won."

Filling out the placing in the final were Keahi de Aboitiz (Qld), Matt Lumley (Vic) Woogie Marsh (QLD) & Noel Graham (NSW).

SUP with Toddlers

Chris de Aboitiz as locals know, is the talented Stand Up Paddler Surf Guy that paddles with his dog Lani.  Chris along with another talented local Woogie introduced SUP Surfing to Noosa 4 years ago and adding to his SUP Session: Chris has now teamed up with Jodie Marsh to create sessions specifically tailored for Women & Toddlers.

As most mothers with toddlers know, exercising is difficult the best of times. Stand Up Paddler Surfing not only keeps mum in shape but the toddlers love being on the Noosa River.  Jodie offers Sessions for the Noosa Heads Lions Park Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday. These sessions include a total body workout on the board including stretching, exercise and yoga to tone mothers post baby body.  Jodie will also focus on teaching both the mothers and toddlers water awareness, tidal reading and how to determine wind direction - all essential information for the Stand up Paddler.

Jodie Marsh is a sport passionate mum who has been working in the sports performance & training field for the last 10 years.  Jodie has a passion for Biomechanics, Exercise Physiology, Nutrition and Active Kids.  Jodie holds a Degree in Sports & Recreation , a Diploma in Applied Sports Studies both gained at AUT in NZ and a Certificate in Sports & Leisure gained at BOP Polytechnic NZ.

Jodie's Focus will be on stroke correction, circuit training on the Stand Up Paddle Boards, Nutrition & Performance Feed back, all which is needed for setting up and refining high performance training goals.

With two Kids of her own she can understand the limited time parents have to pursue their own sporting goals - with these new classes she hopes to help mothers achieve a balance in fitness and lifestyle, while the kids are having fun and learning water awareness.

The Unwritten Rules of Surfing

As a member of the surfing tribe, it is of great importance that you obey the unwritten rules of surfing at all times.  These rules have been handed down from generation to generation because they are based on safety and common sense, and because they promote a community- based fellowship among all surfers. By obeying these rules, you will help to keep Noosa or anywhere an enjoyable place to surf!

• The person closest to the breaking part of the wave has priority and right of way.  Exception: If someone is up and riding, getting onto the wave behind that person does not give you right of way. In other words, the first person on a wave has priority and right of way.
• The person farthest out or waiting longest has priority and right of way. Exception: If someone is consistently paddling out to the farthest spot and catching wave after wave while others wait, that is call wave hogging and the persons' priority is revoked.
• When conditions are fairly low-key, the first person who paddles for a wave or calls for it as priority and right of way. Do not expect this to apply in crowded conditions.
• Do not drop in. Dropping in is taken off on a wave in front of someone who is already up and riding it.  (If you are a thoroughly competent surfer, you may be able to take off on a sectioning wave when there is someone already on it, but only if that person is a great distance behind you, you are 100% certain that the person will not be able to make the section, and you will in no way interfere with the flow of that surfer's ride. When there is any doubt, DONT DROP IN.)
• When caught inside, if you need to get past a wave that someone is riding, always paddle behind them on the white water side. Yes, you will probably get stuffed for the sake of someone else's ride, but it is far better to tumble around in white water than to be hit by a board. (Never assume a surfer will sacrifice his ride to avoid hitting you, as some may not care and others may not see you.) Do not paddle in front of someone unless you are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that you will be at least 20 feet in front of them.
• Do not kick out, bail out, or release your board in a manner that puts other surfers at risk.
• Give respect to gain respect.
• Give away a sweet wave to somebody you don't even know. This will make you an automatic member of the GROUNDSWELL SOCIETY, an organisation dedicated "To every surfer who gives someone else the wave when they didn't have to."

On a Right Hand breaking wave "Y" surfer has the right of way while "X" surfer is breaking the rules by dropping in.

Stand Up and be Counted

The 2009 Global Surf Industries Noosa Festival of Surfing will open with a 5 Km Stand Up Paddle Board Race from Loins Park to First Point. The Course, which includes the still waters of the Noosa River, a crossing of the Noosa Bar and a Triangular Course around Laguna Bay, will showcase a traditional Hawaiian water sport that has enjoyed a tremendous surge in popularity in the past few years as a fitness activity.

The First-light Stand up Paddle Race will be held from 3pm on March 15, immediately before the festival's official Hawaiian opening ceremony and blessing of the waters.  Festival Director Phil Jarratt said he expected to be flooded with entries, after forms were posted on the festival website on the weekend.

"With $1000 cash and prizes on the line over three divisions, some paddlers are going to be taking this very seriously, " he said.  "BUt our main goal is to have a fun event and a great spectacle to launch the festival. Sunday 15 is designated 'water-man's day' and we'll be having some amazing exhibition and celebrity events leading into the First-light SUPS."

The Noosa Festival introduced an ocean paddle race last year, but Jarratt said the focus had been changed this year to make it more of a family event.

"Over this short but challenging course we're going to see a lot of mums, dads, kids and whole family groups having a go, and that's what our festival is really all about," he said.  Noosaville Surfboard shop owner and Stand Up Paddler Chris McCutchson will be one of those taking the race seriously and he has no doubt who will be the paddler to beat.  Despite international entries still to be confirmed he believers the surfer setting the pace will be Local Eugene "Woogie" Marsh who has been at the forefront of the sport's introduction here. McCutchson said Marsh, who is a four time World Outrigger Champion, was a powerful paddler who had excelled in long distance events since crossing over to the new discipline. "He's the power broker of paddling at the moment," McCutchson said.

Open Ocean Paddling Safety

I saw this on  the Wet Feet Blog and thought it would be good to repost it on here.

With the popularity of open ocean paddling increasing, all paddlers need to practice and communicate to others the importance of open water paddling safety measures. These include:

• Always paddle with a partner stay within close proximity of on another
  
• Always use a leash
  
• Carry a cell phone in a waterproof case
  
• Carry a whistle
  
• Carry water
  
• Practice sun protection with sunscreen, a hot or visor, eyewear, and a surf shirt.

Remember if you get in trouble, are falling a lot, or are having difficulty with the wind blowing you where you don't want to go you can always go on your knees & paddle or even prone paddle with your arms.  To prone paddle place the paddle blade under your chest with the shaft facing forwards.

The joys and benefits of distance paddling are boundless for those who have experience a good downwind run.  Lets make sure everyone can experience this without mishap.

NFoS Week 2 Program Sessions

Week 2 

This week look at increasing your intensity by 10% with an increase in Duration by 10 minutes as well.

Skills & Technique are important as perfect practice makes perfect.

Important Points:

Some people mistakenly think that the closer they follow a programme, the better the chances of top performance.  This is in fact not true.  Listen to your body first, then look at the programme, and then decide how you will train for the day or week.

Without recovery there is not improvement.  Without improvement there is not increase in performance.  Recovery is very important.

Never try to catch up a missed work out.  If it is gone, it's gone.

If conditions are right for surfing, down hill runs use them when they happen - be flexible in your programme.

Be patient.  While this programme will help your performance it generally takes two to three build-ups to get everything running really smoothly.

Warm Ups & Cool Down's are very important take the time to do both of these correctly and your training session will run smoothly.

Kia Kaha Paddles Care

If you are serious about performance, only the best product will do.  Kia Kaha SUP / OC Paddles offer the best designs that are 100% carbon with specially designed T-bars, tapered shafts & Functional Blades.

Kia Kaha SUP / OC Paddles are strong, efficient, light, proven & Tested to withstand all types of conditions.  These are Stand Up  or Outrigger Canoe Paddles made by SUP / OC Paddlers.  A custom light wieght paddle which is the same paddle that is being used by: Maui Kjeldsen, Woogie Marsh, Conan Herbert, Dane Wilson, Mick Fanning, Simon Anderson, Trevor Hendy, Lisa Curry Kenny and many more water people from around the world.

Taking Care of your New Kia Kaha SU / OC Paddles

Over time, use, storage, transportation, water, and sunlight can break down the polyurethane coatings.  A deteriorated costing can lead to yellowing of the strong, but UV vulnerable epoxy blade.  Also, heavy use in rocky / sandy areas can gradually deteriorate the blade tip protection.  However, proper paddle care and maintenance can prevent this and mean the difference between a tool that remains beautiful and functional on the water and something completely different.

As expected, preventing damage is the best way to ensure your paddle serves you well for many years.  The double carbon with Uni-Carbon and resin reinforced blade is designed to hold up in difficult conditions.  However, rocks and sand can damage any paddle blade over years of use.  You should always try to avoid using the paddle to push the SUB or Outrigger canoe or pry it against rocks and sand.  This is a job for a push pole and not a Kia Kaha SUP / OC Paddle.

Even with great care in avoiding damage, it is often impossible to avoid all situations.  As stated above, the epoxy resin is very strong, but does not hold up well to UV rays and once the protected polyurethane wears down, the resin becomes vulnerable to sunlight. 

With Proper Care, your Kia Kaha SU / OC Paddle will last for years.  Kia Kaha carbon fiber SUP / OC Paddles are designed with sufficient reinforcements in the tip to allow small dings or chips to be sanded or filed out.  Blades that become blunt from hard use can also be sanded or filed.  By inspecting your paddles after each use and after a hard hit, you may be able to catch any damage early when repair is easy.  All Kia Kaha SUP / OC Paddles are made in three Pieces so a part can easily be replaced.

If you look carefully, you can see the solid carbon fiber edge that goes around your paddle blade.  You can sand or file this solid edge.  After the bottom edge is sanded a few times, it will be slightly thicker and more durable.

On the front face of all SU/ OC paddle blades towards the sides & bottom or small dots.  This is a normal result of manufacturing.  It will not affect paddle strength or performance.

Always protect your paddle from direct sunlight when it is not in use.  A paddle bag provides the best overall protection from ultraviolet light.  If you stow your paddle immediately after using it, you won't drive off without it - or over it.

Sand your paddle using wet sandpaper.

Keep the blade edges sanded or filed smooth.  Smooth edges gives you a clean, quiet entry and keep your paddle layers from coming apart.  Be careful not to sand through to the Balsa Core.  Exposing the Balsa Core to water can damage the core.

If you get a puncture, crack or hole in your paddle, dry the paddle.  Water will damage the core.  You need to get it repaired by a professional repairperson ASAP.

Honey Girl Water Wear

Honey Girl Story
Honey Girl was founded in Hawaii in 1997, when it's first collection of Junior/Women swimwear and clothing was launched.

It all started when Louisa Hoover began designing swimsuits for herself and friends to wear surfing. "The fun part was testing the suits", remembers Louisa, who grew up on a boat in Waikiki just steps from her favorite home break "Kaisers" and knew the necessity of a good "surf suit".

Today Honey Girl can be found in over 100 of the best surf and swim shops throughout Hawaii, East Coast, West Coast, Canada, Australia, Japan, and Carribean.

To meet the high demand for matching Toddler & Tween line of swimwear, Louisa launched her first children's swimwear collection in 2000 for which her baby daughter (Chelsea) was her inspiration for a line that became Little Honeys. The Little Honeys collection offers swimwear and clothing for toddlers & girls ages 1 to 14.

At Honey Girl, we take pride in the construction, fit, and function of our swimwear, and use only high quality fabric and lining, as well as durable sewing (made in the USA). We hope you enjoy wearing Honey Girl as much as we enjoy designing them!

Contact Jodie direct if you would like your very own Bikini party showing at your place.
