“When your chips are down, When your highs are low, Joyride” - The Killers I came across this song when I was searching for a good jingle to commemorate our new boards- the Joy Ride. It’s a great song and I actually saw Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of the Killers, at Coachella this past weekend. He was pretty good, …
Coachella Dreamin’
Imagine me and you, and you and me, so happy together. It seems everywhere I look retailers are catering their offerings to Coachella goers. This doesn’t bother me because I’m going! I was a little skeptical a couple weeks ago about leaving the business for a WHOLE weekend, but after looking at the line-up again, my excitement is officially blooming. …

Are you afraid of the dark?
“According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee of course, flies anyway. Because bees don’t care what humans think is possible.” -The Bee Movie, Dream Works Animation We think walking on water is impossible, …
How Many Calories Do You Burn in a 1 Hour Workout?
I’ve never really been a fan of twitter because I can’t seem to understand the tweet and retweeting and how the number followed by words works, i.e. #winning.

Most people that I take out say “Wow, I’ve never been this far out in the ocean!” During a sunset paddle, clusters of people were taking pictures from Heisler Park and Stephen said, “This is so …
SUP is a Full Body Workout
I came across this article in Shape Magazine: “Supermodel Marisa Miller is not your typical gym girl. She prefers skimming the waves on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP). “It tones the big areas like your butt, abs, and back; as well as those tiny, supporting muscles that pull everything together,” says Marisa.” I couldn’t agree more. For the easiest way to …
Is Winter Really that Cold?
This morning, the first start to the Paddle Board Bliss Boot Camp was a tremendous success. Starting at 7am, some may be reluctant to roll out of bed so early, but when you see the sun coming up over the water, you get an instant burst of energy that lasts well into your day. I’m a morning person, so waking …
Fisherman’s Cove featured in SUP Mag
Pictured above is the exact beach that we launch from. I was so surprised to see this when it came out, and I have to admit that I started searching for myself somewhere on the beach, but had no luck. As you can see from the spread, it’s a somewhat private beach, so there’s never too many people frequenting it. …
Healthy Meal of the Week
This is a delicious and easy dinner during the week, and it makes for great left-overs too. All the different colors in this dish will make you drool. The first time I made it, I thought I was Giada De Laurentiis. It’s so healthy and tasty with protein, good carbs and fat, veggies, and it’s light- the sauce is made …
