Ocean Training Day (one of many)

Forgot how much different ocean paddling can be when you are not running downwind. NE wind and chop, E swell; washing machine conditions and pushing through it all while paddling parallel to the coast...what a mess.
But nothing is better for training! Add in a pod of LARGE Dolphin racing around under the board and it adds up to just another day of challenging yourself in the water and that is what I live for.
Took some shots with my new Go Pro HD camera at the begining and the end (had to concentrate on the actual "training" the rest of the time...lol).
More training ahead this week with weather difficulties adding to the mix (25 mph + winds and rain) and having to travel for my "Real Job" is difficult, but being creative keeps you in tune. When on the road, I travel with my TRX Suspension Training System and fold up Perfect Push Up handles that allow me to train just about anywhere including inside my hotel room (more on those items in upcoming blogs).
See you in the water!

My Watermans Sunscreen keeps me protected all day long and my H2O Audio gear keeps the miles jammin by!

 

Nothing like an 18ft BARK SUP race board; sooo smooth...
