Ocean Water Wear - Sun Protection

We now know that the SPF in a Sunscreen stands for 'Sun Protection Factor'. A product thats provides 30 SPF means that you can stay outdoors 30 times longer than you could with no sun protection. Keep in mind however, everyone burns at a different rate.

The buzz word in the sun protection arena is UPF, 'ultraviolet Protection Factor' rating in fabric developed by the Australian Radiation Labortory.

eg. Lycra which has an elastic thread enables the fabric to stretch and bounce back (memory). It is woven with nylon yarn, then dyed and softened. The Australian UPF rating goes up to 50+ protection.

Oiwi Waterwear has a light weight 4oz lycra knit that is 100% UV protection, fast drying, breathable and super soft.

The protection may be lessened by the fabric being to close to the skin, if the fabric is stretched, is wet, or worn out.

Rash guards are necessary due to skin abraisions caused by chaffing, but keep in mind, a white cotton t-shirt provides only 5% UPF protection (less when wet)

Remember a garmet only protects the skin it covers. Protect other areas by wearing a cap with a four-inch bill, UV protective sunglasses and sunblock.

With all those areas covered, you litterally will save the skin you're in.

Movie Night at Goldern Breed Noosa

Last Mission with Laguna Bay

Latest ALB

On the final days of being sign with Laguna Bay SUP we headed up off road with Peter Aitchison and a few of the crew from Laguna Bay SUP.

During the session I got to surf Tully's new secret weapon and this is how it went. Off Tap......... Getting the board on rail.....

I would like to thank Tully for designing and making boards for me when no one else in Australia was making them. Laguna Bay is at the leading edge in regards to SUP and make great Custom High end Performance SUP Boards.

We have just sorted the Garage out and now we can fit Makii + Trailer straight into the Garage.

Happy Days

Bluewater Players Closes

It has been a sad sight to see shops close down over the last couple of months and this month we see the Only SUP Shop in Noosa Close it doors.

Stockiest of a number a high quality SUP gear including the Kia Kaka Paddles we see Bluewater Players have closed its door.

I wish Jonathan and the family a safe journey down to Sydney.

Nakula Taste Test completed

Got to try the New Nakula last night and WOW!

We were told to drink it like Champaign as there was only a couple of cases in Australia. Must be served Chilled WOW!

I don't drink much Champaign but I would be drinking this stuff like it is going out of fashion.

Such a smooth Natural taste just like drinking coconut from the source.

After a long busy day a can of Nakula hit the spot.

Thanks Tony for thinking of us unreal drink!
