The OFFPISTE UltraPack is a strong addition to the backpack/hydration system market. The crew at OFFPISTE were tired of taking their backpacks off to get to their gear while they were outdoors and wanted a pack that they could access without removing it. After several iterations, the team thinks that they've "nailed it" with their triangular, single-strap bag and have put the it up on Kickstarter to get it into production. We got our hands on one of these triangular contraptions to give it a thorough standup paddling test.
Our first impressions were solid. The pack is made out of high-material and the zippers, stitching, buckles, etc. all feel strong and well-built. This thing isn't going to break down under hard use.
The size of the pack—seven liters that expands to ten—is a good size. Many paddling packs only let you carry the bare essentials: phone, energy bar, water bladder and keys. We like to carry more stuff like GoPros, an extra layer and sunscreen. The UltraPack is great for carry more stuff while not being too big. For those of you that like to go minimal, the zipper pocket on the pack is actually removable with a four-liter "LightPack" that velcros on in place of the UltraPack and still holds the proprietary bladder. Very handy.
Now for the true test: paddling with a single strap, shoulder sling backpack. At first, it felt a little strange to have a strap on one shoulder and not the other. But a messenger pack this is not. The UltraPack sits squarely—or should we say triangularly—in the middle of your back thanks to generously long straps for adjustment. Technically, there are two straps: the main, weight-bearing strap and a thin waist strap, to keep the pack in place when you're moving around. It doesn't slide side-to-side and it feels quite natural after a few minutes.
If you don't like the pack on the one shoulder, you can switch it to the other thanks to two buckles on the main strap. But that's where our main beef with this pack comes in: the point where the main strap clips for adjustment creates an overlap that lightly rubs on your collarbone as you paddle. It's fine for shorter paddlers but I did a three-and-a-half hour paddle and was a little tender there the next day. Another option would be to switch shoulders partway through.
Overall, this is a solidly-built, well-designed pack that should merit consideration from paddlers looking for a pack that does a little bit more.

It only seems natural: why wouldn't the 2014 Miss Hawaii contestants go standup paddling? So here they are getting out on the water, and even holding their paddles the right way. Rob Stehlik of Blue Planet Surf, which is sponsoring Miss Hawaii 2014, taught them well.

In early summer, we caught up with Kody Kerbox to talk about world title hopes, performance and chasing big swell. While we've seen a season come and go, Kerbox is always in the thick of the world title hunt–he finished Top 10 in both Surf and SUP on the Waterman League tours. Plus, as a talented freesurfer, his B-roll always makes for great eye candy. Check out this edition of The Voice and look for him in The SUP Movie from Poor Boyz Productions.
Ian Balding Custom Surfboards & Paddleboards from Jason Hudson on Vimeo.
Custom SUP and surf shaper Ian Balding has been building surfcraft for over 17 years in Wilmington, North Carolina. He's done a little bit of everything, crafting fish, longboards, retro shapes, performance shortboards and using materials such as balsa. When he discovered SUP about five years ago, he was instantly hooked.
"Paddleboarding was just kind of a natural extension of surfing for me," Balding said. "It was kind of a no brainer for me to roll the shaping process into standup paddleboards."
Take a look at this video to get a background on Balding's shaping and testing process.

We thought Morocco produced the goods for the Mirleft Standup Pro yesterday. Turns out today was even better with clean conditions, offshore winds and a building swell all day. The exhibition crew got after the amazing waves producing some awesome highlights before the swell got too big for competition. Look for them to finish tomorrow in the declining swell.
More highlights here.
Have you ever been on a surf trip and gotten skunked? It's not fun. Luckily, standup boards can make even the smallest ripples entertaining. That's what the crew from media collective Waterlust discovered when they were in Chicama, Peru, home to what is often called "The Longest Left in the World." While they didn't get the epic waves they were hoping for, they busted out inflatables and had a ball filming and goofing around on what still looks like a fun wave, even when it's only waist high.

In late October, in honor of breast cancer awareness month, Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa hosted the first ever Maui Paddle for a Cure in collaboration with The Butterfly Effect and Maui Jim at Ka'anapali Beach. In an effort to raise funds for the Hawaii Affiliate of Susan G. Komen, over 150 paddlers hit the water to paddle for a cure.
Ka'anapali Beach became a "sea of pink" as the paddlers in pink jerseys made their way from Hanako'o Beach to Whaler's Village. Upon returning home to Hyatt, paddlers and guess enjoyed an afternoon of live entertainment at Sunset Terrace—home to Drums of the Pacific Luau—that included the famous Tihati Dancers and Serenaders, Isa Inca, and Hawaii's own Anuhea. This first event was a success because of the Maui community and Hyatt guests who came together to celebrate life, raise awareness of breast cancer and support the funding of necessary programs in Hawaii. —Tatiana Howard, BE Founder

The Mirleft Standup Pro is reaping the benefits of its Location X format, scoring the best right points that Morocco has to offer. Standup World Tour stars such as Sean Poynter, Bernd Roediger, Kai Bates and Izzi Gomez are putting on a great show in the rippable waves. This contest is exhibition only, meaning that it doesn't count toward the 2014 Standup World Tour rankings. And we know these surfers could care less, as long as the waves are pumping. The forecast only looks like it's getting better. Keep your eyes peeled for more.

Imagine going for a nice morning paddle in calm waters, with the soft sunlight reflecting off the ocean. All of a sudden, a humpback whale breaches next to you. And then sea lions show up. And some dolphins too.
California paddler Rich German experienced all of the above on a recent paddle off the coast of Laguna Beach. Oh, and did we mention there was a rainbow as well? Not too shabby of an experience for an average morning session out on the water.

Standup paddling started here. Uncle Bobby Ah Choy took pictures of tourists as a Waikiki Beach Boy standing up with a paddle. I remember being a little kid surfing Canoes and he'd be taking pictures of tourists and us kids. When I think of my childhood, I think of him standup paddling. Now, when you look at Waikiki, SUPs are everywhere. It's part of the culture.
We use SUP for everything here: fitness, fishing, diving, exercise, surfing. We're really fortunate because no matter where you live you're 15 minutes away from the water. It's really accessible. Standups are simple, light and now you see tons of women doing it too. I think there are definitely more women here paddling than other places. There are aunties, grandmas, grandpas and toddlers out there on stand ups!
Ala Moana is one of the calm, safe beaches where people can go paddle for the first time. On the weekend we have hundreds of people doing just that. I think SUP courses are even bigger than surf lessons now. Then you can move outside the reef when you're ready to surf. Back to Waikiki you've got Canoes, Queens, Pops for easy waves. There are so many places to paddle in Waikiki and Ala Moana. When you're paddling off the coast you look to your right and see Diamond Head and the mountains and when you look straight you see a big city. Having real life right across the street from our ocean—filled with turtles and dolphins—is really special.
The community is pretty interesting. You have guys that are doing the long distance downwind run from Hawaii Kai to Waikiki on the regular. Then you have the hardcore surf guys. A lot of us just squeeze it in where we can between work and our families. Some guys walk to the water from their apartments, paddle, shower then get into their suits and BMWs and head to work. There's a little something for everyone here.

This article originally ran in our Summer 2014 Issue as part of the "Paddle Town Battle" feature.
The Paddle Town Battle was simple in concept: pick the best standup towns in North America and let you, dear readers, vote to decide the ultimate SUP city on our Facebook page.
But what makes a good place to live and paddle? Is it access to the water? Is it a nice place to live? Is it the people? We debated. There were so many questions to answer that we formed categories: proximity to types of paddling (ocean surfing, whitewater, flatwater, downwind, river surfing), community (races, shops, people), off-the-water amenities (breweries, eateries, yoga studios) and influence (what role this place has played in the sport). Then you spoke loudly and proudly. You told us why your town or city was the best place to be a standup paddler. In the end, the people of Puerto Rico rallied around beautiful and diverse Rincón to put it at the top of the bracket. We let the locals tell you why their town made our Top 10.

The Standup World Tour's annual exhibition contest, Location X, kicked off over the weekend in Mirleft, Morocco at Plage d'Aglou. With the first Moroccan National Championships serving as the local Trials round to Location X, the best SUP surfers from across the nation came out to compete for spots in the main event, the Mirleft Standup Pro.
Trials standouts—and top competitors in the Moroccan National Championships—included Sali Souffiani, Rafai Slimane, Aznitar Lahcen, El Jraifi Amine and Laanya Lmsdaq. The finals of the Trials saw an intense battle between the young Souffiani and the more experienced Lmsdaq, but in the end, Lmsdaq's experience gave him the edge to take the win at the inaugural Moroccan National Championships. However, as a result to their top finishes in the Trials, each of the five standouts will compete in the main event of the Mirleft Standup Pro.
Standup World Tour regulars participating in this exhibition event include Sean Poynter, Zane Schweitzer, Giorgio Gomez and Benoit Carpentier, as well as Bernd Roediger, Fisher Grant, Kai Bates, James Casey and Peyo Lizarazu. World Champion Izzi Gomez will also lead a few standout SUP women in a separate exhibition, including Sophia Tiare Bartlow and Lori Parks.
With epic conditions expected and some of the best SUP surfers in the world ready to throw down for the last event of the year, the Mirleft Standup Pro will be an exciting event to wrap up the 2014 Standup World Tour. Stay tuned to SUPtheMag.com for all of the action out of Morocco.

Cape Town, South Africa has one of the best downwind runs in the world. With regular 30-40 knot winds for about half the year locals enjoy big wind swell on the regular. Here, local SUP stars Ethan Koopmans, Chris Bertish and Ivan van Vurren take us on a tour of the run that they call the "Cape Doctor." Get past the ridiculous '90s intro and you'll enjoy it, we swear.

Any paddler would jump at the chance to shape their own board. But the barriers are significant: costs, tools, workspace and of course, time.
I'd wanted to shape a board for years but like most of you, lacked the resources. Then I met Christopher Clark, co-founder of Shaper Studios.
Shaper Studios, started by Clark and his good friend Derrik Kapalla, gives potential board-builders a place to hone their skills and a chance to shape their own ride. You can glass it too, or they can do it for you. With the instruction, it costs about as much as buying a high-quality custom (roughly $100 per foot). If you get hooked, it's $20 a month to use the Shaper facilities and their tools.
I took my time to decide what I wanted but in the end I went with a classic longboard shape: a thinned-out noserider with a pin-tail, perfect for small-wave days but also capable of handling bigger waves. But with my lack of experience, I set my expectations low.
When you enter Shaper Studios' shop in North Park, San Diego, it feels as if you've stepped into the 1970s. Wood paneling, retro motorcycles, above-the-knee shorts and long hair give the place a decidedly retro, mellow vibe.
Clark walked me through the process step-by-step, first showing me how to use the planer and then letting me mow the foam. We repeated this process with each tool. At first I thought I wanted to do it all myself but as I watched, I learned more from his movements than from his words. I also realized that this teaching style might insure the board worked once it hit the water.
We moved back and forth for a few hours and when I was happy with the shape, we repeated the same with the glassing, Clark again running me through the intricacies of the process and then letting me loose. The result was a solid glass job and a psychedelic resin swirl on the base that Jimi Hendrix would appreciate.
A few weeks later, I met Clark at a beach in North County San Diego to ride the new craft. It was beautiful: svelte, sleek and light. I slapped on a traction pad, threw in fins and ran down to the water.
"I shaped the board under my feet," I kept thinking as I paddled out.
I started catching waves immediately. The Psychedelic Pickle, as I dubbed it, rode, and rode well, letting me dance to the nose and then step back over the tail for biting cutbacks.
While I did mow a lot of the board's foam, it wouldn't have turned out the same without Clark's help. And it's definitely the best conversation starter in my quiver.

Paddle to Work Scheme – Dublin from In the Company of Huskies on Vimeo.
How awesome would it be to SUP to work? Wait, wait. We already know the answer to that question.
And so do these Irish paddlers. One fall morning, they woke early, pulled on some neoprene and paddled by the daily hustle to get to their office, which is conveniently located on the waterfront. We're jealous.

Haley Mills literally lives in her ride.
"I don't have a home," says the pro paddler. "I moved into an RV six years ago when I started competing. I can't get rid of the itch to keep on the road."
We can see why. Mills travels to get the best whitewater, to compete in events and to find waves all over the country. And she has all the gear in her car to do it. We actually asked her to pare down her kit to fit this picture. She usually travels with six standups, two kayaks and a mountain bike, taking advantage of the conditions wherever she's at.
"People stare at me thinking there are six dudes in the truck and it's just this little girl."
They must be jealous. We know the feeling.
In an ideal world the Yeti would house cold items like beer or actual food. I never keep anything cold so it's a bin that holds random things. There is some food in there, but it's non-perishable. I can't be bothered to buy ice all the time. It keeps almonds and things. And hot beer.
It's the perfect size. Its main function is making coffee. That's all he really does, his goal in life. I also use the French press. I usually tell people that I like my coffee stout and strong, just like my men (laughs).
I have a small Werner Nitro for surfing and a small Grand Prix for racing. I also use the whitewater-specific Session as well as their kayaking paddles.
They're my footwear sponsor. They're comfortable, lightweight and they make flip-flops as well as river-specific shoes. I can wear them on and off the water.
I use their protein powder and bars because I don't really want to deal with cooking on the go.
My second vehicle. Sometimes it's a pain parking my truck so I park far away and skate there. It's useful at the beach too.
I use this stuff daily. It's even better than Kentucky chrome (duct tape). I use it outfitting in my kayaks, patching holes, etc.
The (size of the) bed is why I can fit so much shit in my truck. I have a twin bed and I keep all my extra gear under it: inflatable boards, etc. I have curtains so no one can see in. I have a Rocket Box on top from Thule and a Paco pad, tent and another inflatable up there as well as my river gear, PFDs, helmets and stuff. My backseat is my closet with a bag of clothes and that's pretty much it.
River Surfer, Mini Mod inflatable, Mini Mod, Eradicator. The 7'10" Mini Mod is great for glassy river waves. It's by far my favorite board for that. I used the Eradicator at the Payette River Games and ran it through whitewater, which isn't advised but you gotta do what you gotta do. I usually have a 10'6" MVP, 9'0" MVP and a Sirena in the car. I have to be prepared for what I'm doing that day, flatwater, surfing or whitewater.

SUP magazine caught up with six people who SUP to talk standup paddling. We asked the six everyday paddlers to tell us what their favorite paddling season is and here's what they said:
OCCUPATION: Employee, Liquid Dreams
HOMETOWN: Cape Coral, Florida
I like to go year-round, mainly because I use a surf SUP and I like to surf as much as possible. Waves are mostly better in the winter and it's usually when it's the biggest and summer's a little flatter, but it's still SUP-able.
OCCUPATION: Owner, New York Kayak Company, Inc.
HOMETOWN: New York, New York
In New York it has to be September, early fall. Water temperatures are high and air temperatures and humidity are moderate. But I seize every opportunity to paddle so I don't really care if it's fall or summer or dark or light. If I have an opportunity to paddle I take it.
OCCUPATION: Owner, Hayward Outfitters
HOMETOWN: Hayward, Wisconsin
Hands down, late winter is my favorite time to paddle. We live on a section of the Chippewa River in Northern Wisconsin, which stays open year-round. With my wetsuit, booties and neoprene rubber gloves in tow, I SUP the river on its most sunny days. It's incredibly peaceful: eagles flying overhead, river otters popping up to say hello right next to my board. Other than the wildlife, I have it all to myself.
OCCUPATION: Professional Ocean Athlete
HOMETOWN: Kuau (Maui), Hawaii
I love to paddle during winter in warm places like Maui and New Caledonia, because winter promises swell! Perfectly glassy, sunny, not too crowded, only a couple of friends, everyone catching waves, just wearing a bikini because it's not cold, but without caring about sunburns because the winter sun is nicer.
OCCUPATION: Owner, SUP NTX
HOMETOWN: Roanoke, Texas
All year round, 365, 24-7. There is no season, SUP is all year round.
OCCUPATION: Owner, Wut SUP
HOMETOWN: Gulfport, Mississippi
My favorite season to paddle is the springtime because the heat and humidity isn't as bad. We typically get dolphins in our area and we get a lot of wildlife sightings.

You'll find surf, sun, flatwater, wildlife and always someone to paddle with on the Cape Fear Coast.
Wilmington is more of blanket term for the Cape Fear Coast, which stretches from Topsail Island and Surf City to the north, down to Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Bald Head Island and Holden Beach to the south. And while downtown Wilmington offers history, restaurants and nightlife, the epicenter of the Cape Fear paddling community is undoubtedly in Wrightsville Beach, home of the Cold Stroke Classic, the Surf2Sound Challenge and the Carolina Cup.
The Cape Fear Coast is the kind of place where if you have a flat tire, someone will stop to help instead of speeding past and pretending they don't see you. It's the kind of place where a long paddle is as easily followed by a healthy, delicious meal at Epic Food Company as it is margaritas, chips and salsa at Tower 7. It's the kind of place where a concierge at the Blockade Runner Beach Resort will literally take you shopping for the day. And a place where someone at Carolina Paddleboard Company will talk you out of buying a board that isn't right for you, instead of throwing typical surf-shop stink eye.
Here, it doesn't matter if you are a beginner or a badass, there's a place for you. The barrier islands offer secluded surf breaks, protected flatwater, wildlife, fishing and perhaps the most welcoming paddle community around. The best way to get instantly plugged into the paddle community is through one of the meetup groups or through Facebook. If you're part of the paddle family, you'll always find someone in Wilmington to take you out and show you the sights on the water. Or you can just show up and paddle out.

Europe crowned its 2014 SUP surfing champions recently at the 2014 European SUP Surfing Championships October 18 and 19, at Playa de Somo in Cantabria, Spain. After a full weekend of highly competitive paddle surfing with some of the best competitors from across Europe, the French exercised their expertise in wave riding, winning each of the three divisions to completely sweep the competition.
Caroline Angibaud took the women's win ahead of the Canary Islands' standout SUP surfer Iballa Ruano Moreno, as well as fellow French competitor and Junior division second place finisher Maili Tahar. On the men's side, Alexis Deniel surfed to a victory ahead of a strong competitive field that was dominated by French, including men's second place finisher and Junior division champion, Benoit Carpentier, as well as Mederic Berthe, who rounded out the top three places. Check out the results below.

The start of the 6-miler. Photo: DistressedMullet.com
Despite challenging conditions, Canadian paddlers Tommy Buday and Jessica Rando swept the 6-mile Elite Championships at Saturday's North Carolina Surf to Sound Challenge in Wrightsville Beach. Rando, 2013 Surf to Sound Challenge Champion, defended her title amongst a strong field of competitors, while Buday overtook three-time defending champion Larry Cain for the win.

"Surf to Sound conditions were probably the most difficult in the entire history of the race," said John Beausang of Distressed Mullet. "We had very hard northeast winds, with a storm system moving in from the south. Not only did the winds increase, the temperature dropped. Navigating the inlet was very challenging, and the final leg to the finish line was very tough paddling into heavy winds."

Tommy Buday and Larry Cain, both of Ontario, battled the entire distance for the coveted Elite Men's division championship, switching up the lead three times over the course of the 6-mile race. In an extremely tight race to the end, Buday beached his board and ran to the finish less than a second ahead of Cain.
Hilarey Netsch of Kitty Hawk, NC, captured the Women's Championship in the four-mile, Harbor Island Outer Loop, while Stephen Dees of Carolina Beach won the Men's Championship in 14-foot category.

Sunday's 9-miler saw Buday and Cain back on the water battling in the 14-foot class, with Buday coming in victorious again. In the Women's 12'6 division, Rando also took her second victory of the weekend, racing to the finish only a half-second ahead of second place finisher April Zilg. Check out the results below.

The Supertech is a sleek little paddling jacket. With a neoprene chest and light, airy sleeves this thing keeps you extra warm on those windy summer days while still providing UPF 50+ protection against the sun. Zip pockets on the chest and back allow for storage of items like lip balm, keys, iPhone, etc. while waist pockets let you keep your hands warm when scoping your put in. It doesn't chafe either: wear it with a shirt or without. A little too warm for standard summer days but a great option for when the weather isn't cooperating.
NRS' H2Core line is designed specifically with paddlers in mind. This translates to rash-free standup sessions all summer long. The Silkweight longsleeve is smooth on the skin and provides great breathability whether you fall in the water or not. The UPF 45+ fabric will keep you protected from the sun's harmful rays. No excuses to call off a session.
Not all of us live in places where we can wear trunks all summer long. Enter the H2Core pants. These puppies are comfy as sin with a fit that can be worn under boardshorts, as a layer or by themselves. They breath well when wet and wick away moisture from the skin, keeping you warmer when it's cool and cooler when it's hot. No clamminess here. And they dry quickly. A great piece for the sun-conscious outdoorsman.
The Hex Pants are a multi-use gem. First, the waist can be worn up high or folded over for a low-rise fit. Second, the moisture wicking properties and hex pattern lining keep you warmer when wet and cooler when dry, letting them be worn as a layer or as a sun block. The hex also allows the stretch fabric to move with your skin for a more comfortable fit then your average yoga-type pant. They also come in blue for less sun attraction. A comfortable pant on the water or off.
The UPF50+ Loosefit Hoodie is one of our summer favorites. Victory's fabric repels water unlike any other we've seen which means it dries faster and keeps you warmer than your average water-wear. The loose but athletic fit feels great on the skin and practically disappears when you're paddling while the hood allows you to cover up even more when the sun is beating down. It's a simple, well-designed piece that you'll throw in your rig every time you head to the beach: you won't want to be caught without it.

It poured. It howled. And, the sun even made an appearance. Through it all, 64 standup paddlers from around the world surfed their hearts out in Tofino, October 25 and 26, in the First Annual Tofino Paddle Surf SUP Invitational. In the end, three stood atop of the podium: Diane Wenzel in the women's division, Heath Thompson in the open men and Kiel Harvey in the amateur.
With the winning results, Wenzel, Thompson and Stuart Robinson, who placed second in open men's, all qualify for the Canadian National Team heading for the ISA World Standup Paddle and Paddleboard Championships in 2015.
"The level of surfing was amazingly high and Thompson put on an incredible and very inspiring performance for everyone at the event," says Catherine Bruhwiler, contest organizer and silver medalist in the women's division. "I can't thank everyone enough—the volunteer team, co-organizers and family, all the amazing sponsors and of course, the contestants. It was an amazing weekend and we're already planning next year's event."

Head judge, Chris Freeman, flew in from Hawaii to help run the contest. Visiting Tofino for the first time, Freeman was blown away by the natural beauty of the area and the great people. "Tofino delivered great waves, tough competition and lots of new friends," Freeman says. "With three divisions, the schedule would always be tight, but thanks to the hard work put in by the many volunteers, the event ran incredibly smoothly, especially for an inaugural event."
Competitors packed the Tofino Brewery on registration night, with 28 men entered in both the open and amateur categories and eight in the women's. Competitors aged from 14 up to 55 years old came from across Vancouver Island, B.C., and as far away as Ontario, Nova Scotia, the U.S., Czechoslovakia, Italy, and Hawaii.

On Saturday, event-goers woke to pouring rain, but clean surf at North Chesterman Beach. The rain barely let up, but despite the dreary conditions, nobody's day was dampened. "It was wet, wet, wet, but everyone managed to stay so positive and comfortable in their wetsuits or rain gear," Bruhwiler said. "The beach was nonstop action with the heats running back-to-back all day, and there was a great contingent at the waters edge cheering everyone on."
The event saw primarily new paddle surfers, many of whom were first-time competitors in SUP. "Most of the riders were new to competitive paddling and it was so rewarding to see them having fun in the waves," said Freeman.
Sunny skies brought excitement on Day 2 of the Tofino Paddle Surf SUP Invitational, but unfortunately, conditions dropped and participants experienced choppy surf. As the field of competition was steadily eliminated throughout the day, conditions became progressively more challenging with strong onshore winds and building surf.
"The riders put on a great show trading rides in the head high waves with the beach crowd cheering the best moves," said Freeman. "As the qualifier for the Canadian SUP team, the tension was high in the Open and Women's divisions, and this pushed the riders to new highs."

In the men's open final, Tofino Paddle Surf team rider Heath Thompson put on quite a show, outperforming the other surfers with powerful cutbacks and turns, illustrating skill from growing up on Oahu's North Shore as well as his expertise in local waters from living in Tofino in recent years. In a tightly contested women's final, Diane Wenzel squeaked past Bruhwiler to take the win. Wenzel, a Canadian who grew up in Edmonton, runs a SUP and sailing school in Dana Point, Calif., home of the Battle of the Paddle.
When the contest wrapped up, competitors and volunteers headed to Wolf in the Fog, a local pub and restaurant—and presenting sponsor of this first annual event—where door and raffle prizes were given out. Division winners each received trophies by local Tofino artist Sol Maya, as well as an SUP board donated by sponsors. Altogether, the First Annual Tofino Paddle Surf SUP Invitational raised upwards of $1,000 for local charity, Surf's Up. With food served family-style and live music from Parab Poet and Hip Hop Hippies, the after party raged late into the night.
"It was such a fun event in so many ways," says Bruhwiler. "I can't wait till next year."

The 2014 Standup World Tour came to a close yesterday, October 29, at La Torche Pro France, in one of the most exciting final events on the Tour to-date. With the Men's World Title up for the taking, spectators saw Maui's Kai Lenny and Brazil's Caio Vaz battle for high scores in the race to be crowned 2014 World Champion. After an impressive performance in the quarter finals where Lenny received the highest scoring wave of the day, he was named the 2014 Men's World Champion, making it his fourth world title. But, after Lenny was knocked out of the event in the semi-finals, it came down to a battle for the La Torche Pro title, with California's Sean Poynter paddle surfing to victory over 2012 World Champion Leco Salazar of Brazil.
On the ladies' side, 2014 World Champion Izzi Gomez worked toward another event win, battling with local favorite, Caroline Angibaud of France, as well as fellow American Sophia Tiare Bartlow. In the end, the young Gomez impressed judges once again with a strong performance that led her to her fourth event win of the 2014 Tour.
Check out the overall rankings from the 2014 La Torche Pro here.
Stay tuned to SUPtheMag.com for the release of the final 2014 World Rankings, coming soon.

Ontario's Jessica Rando is no newbie to winning in paddle sports. The Canadian is a World Champion Dragon Boat Racer, Canada's Sprint Canoe National Champion and a Pan American Canoe and Kayak Champion. She also competed as a lightweight rower in college, and now competes in SUP while running a paddling business, The Paddle Coach. With her experience as a top competitor across multiple paddle sports, it's no surprise that Rando began to win titles shortly after taking up standup paddling. Here, we get to know one of Canada's top SUP women. —SC
Tell us about your impressive athletic background.
I was active from a young age and participated in everything from swimming and downhill skiing to mountain biking, cross country running and snowboarding. I competed in mountain biking and running in high school, but the serious competitive athletics really started in sprint canoe. I didn't start competing until about 19, which was the year of my first National Championships.
My life for the next nine years was training multiple times a day on a very regimented and structured program. During my journey I had some top-notch coaches, including Olympic Gold Medalist Larry Cain, and trained alongside some very talented and inspiring female athletes.
A major highlight for me was earning a spot to compete at the Pan American Canoe/Kayak Championships, the only international competition for female canoers at the time. Sprint canoe really was the gateway to all other successes I've had in other paddling disciplines, including SUP.
You have an interesting past serving in the Canadian Navy. What made you choose that career path?
I chose this career path for the challenge, learning opportunities, and to serve my country. I loved the physical and mental challenges of Basic Training, and because I became an officer, there's a major leadership component, which benefited me in many areas of my life, including my business. This question actually brings me to one of my other athletic highlights: having the second highest number of consecutive pushups of over 100 recruits, of which over 90 percent were men. One person beat me; we're planning a rematch.

Why'd you transition from canoe and kayak to SUP?
I'd retired from sprint canoe, as I'd accomplished what I wanted to and was interested in trying something new. With outrigger canoe (OC) becoming popular in my area, I decided to train in OC for a while, develop my paddling ability on my offside, and learn to paddle in waves.
While I never competed in OC, I loved that I could venture out into waves and that I needed to learn new skill sets. I loved the challenge and paddling in a variety of water conditions, so when SUP was introduced to me a year later, I fell in love with the near limitless potential of the sport. Downwinding, surfing, whitewater, open ocean—they were all now within reach and I had a ton of learning to do.
Is there much of an SUP scene in Mississauga?
Yes, there's a growing SUP scene in Mississauga, which grows exponentially each year! As a local instructor, I have the opportunity to be a part of this growth firsthand, which is quite amazing. Each year brings more new people to the sport, and some of my past students are now venturing into more challenging aspects of SUP, including whitewater, surfing and downwinding, so the depth of the scene is developing as well.

How do you keep up your training during the cold season?
First, I throw on my 4/3 wetsuit, booties, mitts and hood, and take advantage of the best surf on the Great Lakes, which happens during the fall and spring months. I live on the northwest shore of Lake Ontario, with Lake Erie and Lake Huron only a couple hours away, so depending on winds, there are many surf spots within driving distance.
I train in the gym almost daily, working through a proper weight program beginning in mid-September and run year round. Last year we were frozen off the water for three months. I definitely start to miss paddling, but it's a great chance to cross-train and add variety to training, which is great for mental rejuvenation.
In the thick of winter I'll hit the trails for snowboarding or cross-country skiing, which, last year, I was able to do right out my front door (cross-country skiing I mean).
Come April, I run my annual SUP Camp in Florida, so when I'm not coaching, I'm on the water doing my own training. It's an awesome kick-start to the season.
What goals do you have as an SUP racer?
I'm really enjoying river SUP, so I'd like to compete in larger whitewater races next summer, including Payette River Games and Go Pro Mountain Games. I'll do as many races as I'm able to juggle with my business, but my ultimate goal is to gain the experience in Hawaiian waters to compete in the Molokai to Oahu Paddleboard World Championships. I absolutely love downwinding and that's the ultimate downwind challenge.

What's it like to see fellow Canadians like Lina Augaitis make it to the top of the sport?
It's absolutely incredible and I certainly feel a sense of national pride, as I'm sure all Canadian SUP athletes do. What she accomplished this season shows that hard work and dedication really do pay off. It's absolutely inspiring. Coming from over 10 years of competitive paddling, I know the time and commitment it takes to achieve that—it's a good sign for the sport if it takes a full-time commitment to make it to the top.
Tell us about your business, The Paddle Coach.
I've owned and operated my business for over seven years, and over those years, SUP's become more of the focus of the business. We offer intro lessons, race-specific coaching to flatwater and whitewater SUP certifications, and stroke clinics to training camps. Recently, I added a personal passion: wilderness expeditions. We take clients on self-supported multi-day SUP trips into the wilds of Ontario.

Give us some insight into your conservation efforts.
I run an annual SUP cleanup on the Credit River, which has been my paddling home for years. We've had great participation and I feel we're impacting not just the aquatic environment, but also others in the community that see us taking action. When I travel upriver to the shorelines we've cleaned, I notice that they're staying clean longer, so hopefully this means we're inspiring people.
Beyond the competitive aspects of SUP, what do you hope to accomplish as a standup paddler?
Aside from travelling for racing, I'd like to explore as many new places by SUP as possible, and help make these places accessible to others, especially within Ontario. Our wilderness is so beautiful and we have an abundance of water within it.
This past summer was a summer of exploration. Jonah Logan, a fellow standup paddler and whitewater enthusiast from North Shore Paddlesurf, and myself took road trips to explore new whitewater spots and runs across Southern Ontario. The Paddle Coach and North Shore also recently partnered for our first River SUP Expedition on the French River. It was a huge success and the first of many expeditions like this.

The final stop of the 2014 Standup World Tour, La Torche Pro France, wrapped up today with a big win for American Sean Poynter, ahead of second place Leco Salazar of Brazil.
In the race for the world title, Maui's Kai Lenny stepped up his game to secure the highest scoring wave of the day in the quarter finals over world title contender Caio Vaz. Lenny was named 2014 World Champion shortly after.
"I feel amazing right now to be the new World Champion," Lenny told Waterman League.

Stay tuned to SUPtheMag.com for final World Rankings and more highlights from the 2014 La Torche Pro France.
Caio Vaz and Kai Lenny are both still in the hunt for the Standup World Tour title as the La Torche Pro France moved through Round Four today. It is likely that we will see a champion crowned tomorrow as we move into the quarterfinals and beyond.
As we mentioned in our pre-event analysis, Vaz needs to beat Lenny by one spot to take the title. At the pointy end of this competition, neither is going to have an easy time of it.
Lenny has the futuristic, high-tempo surfing of Airton Cozzolino to deal with in the quarters while Vaz must contend with another high-performance bar-setter in Zane Schweitzer. And with Mo Freitas, Sean Poynter, Leco Salazar and Kody Kerbox as potential semi-final and final match-ups, anything could happen. The call will be at 8 a.m. in France, which is 12 a.m. PST (midnight tonight). Considering the conditions in the video above and what's on the line, it might not be a bad idea.
Quarterfinal Heat Draw
Heat 1: Kai Lenny vs. Airton Cozzolino
Heat 2: Mo Freitas vs. Sean Poynter
Heat 3: Caio Vaz vs. Zane Schweitzer
Heat 4: Leco Salazar vs. Kody Kerbox
On the women's side Sophia Bartlow and Izzi Gomez look destined to meet in the finals. Our money's on the new World Champ.
Heat 1: Izzi Gomez vs. Tinina Etienne
Heat 2: Caroline Angibaud vs. Roxy Davis
Heat 3: Sophia Tiaré Bartlow vs. Maili Tahar

Finistere provided beautiful conditions as the Men's Main Event of the 2014 La Torche Pro France got underway on Monday. A solid swell with light offshore winds and blue skies provided the perfect backdrop to a full day of competition that saw Round 1 and the Repechage of the Main Event wrap up, as well as Round 1 of the Na Kama Kai Youth Challenge.
The day saw epic rides through the opening heats before conditions started to become more difficult as the tide dropped, with stiffening offshore winds and walls of whitewater making for some challenging paddle surfing. However, within an hour of the tide change, conditions turned around, the wind backed off and the contest was back on track with great conditions for the Repechage Round as well as an exciting first round of action for the Na Kama Kai Youth Challenge.
In the heated battle for the 2014 World Title, Kai Lenny—currently ranked first—kicked off the day with a solid first round heat, posting the highest heat score total of the day, but Caio answered back at the end of Round 1 with the single highest wave score of the day, clearly echoing that the battle is on.

Boise has always been a paddling town. Standup paddling has only added to its legacy. Of course I'm biased. I grew up in Boise, in a state with more road-less area than any other in the Lower 48 and more rivers traversing more wilderness than pretty much anywhere on Earth.
As a young punk, I ran as many of Idaho's rivers as I could. I slept in my bivy sack in remote river canyons, piled way too many plastic kayaks on my beat-up truck and paddled enough whitewater to nearly flunk out of school. I lived a hand-to-mouth lifestyle simply to paddle all the time. I did it because that's what my whitewater heroes who lived in Boise did. They'd go off to remote places and tackle the toughest rivers in the world on the money they made tending bar.
But they always came back to Boise when they were done, with its cool downtown, cooler music scene and fantastic distractions—like the ultimate Frisbee league—that just make summers in the City of Trees so much damn fun.
In Boise, families raft together, paddle kayaks and canoes together, and now, paddle standups together. Whitewater paddlers use inflatable SUPs to run the Payette River system an hour north of Boise, landlocked surf bums ride the waves on tiny epoxy standups at the Boise play park and fitness fanatics have measured out kilometers at a local pond where they compare their heart rates against their lap times. Drive more than an hour and the paddling options increase tenfold.
Paddling shops like Idaho River Sports help people get into the sport. Pubs like Bittercreek Ale House feed and fill them with suds.
But above all, this community cares for its own. Because that's what good communities in good paddling towns always do. And Boise has always been a paddling town.

But what makes a good place to live and paddle? Is it access to the water? Is it a nice place to live? Is it the people? We debated. There were so many questions to answer that we formed categories: proximity to types of paddling (ocean surfing, whitewater, flatwater, downwind, river surfing), community (races, shops, people), off-the-water amenities (breweries, eateries, yoga studios) and influence (what role this place has played in the sport). Then you spoke loudly and proudly. You told us why your town or city was the best place to be a standup paddler. In the end, the people of Puerto Rico rallied around beautiful and diverse Rincón to put it at the top of the bracket. We let the locals tell you why their town made our Top 10.

So I had some time to build a new pistol box. This one is slightly smaller and has a little more time into it. Im happy with the results, just waiting for a briefcase handle and some rubber feet to finish it off. (And some decals of course. Gotta sticker bomb it a little.)
I think the fingers to hold the pistols are much better on this one as well. Rather then shaping the wooden fingers like I did on the last one I instead used .5 plywood, with rubber matting applied for protection, and then placed a combination of .25 and .5 pieces as spacers between the fingers. With extra spacers this allows me to easily customize the spacing between fingers for different pistols if needed.
Also, instead of latches on each side I installed a keyed lock on the front. I added a magnetic strip as well to hold the extra mags in place. The box was constructed of .5 sanded ply and joined with biscuits every 3. The drawer was made from some scrap Poplar with Maple splines. I stained it, applied 3 coats of poly, and then some Butchers Wax to help protect it from the weather

a home made card with a dime plastered onto it ?
Or something nicer...
Just wondering cause I don´t know...even though I looked at the site...
Front Fell Off
These cards have professionally printed inserts, and the inserts and dimes are laminated together to create a durable wallet friendly package.
Shire Silver - a better bullion that fits in your wallet.
Not that anyone hasn't
Not that anyone hasn't thought of this by now, but I think raising money for Dr. Paul by selling silver and gold would really get those discouraged Paul fans to shell out some more. I realize that for many of us, we just can't afford to give more than we already do. However, this little fund raising drive has shown great success. It started off with 800 being the goal and now 5700 was a cut off. Precious metals seem to have a niche right now and I hope other's will (for lack of a better term) exploit it.

wow if we could just get
wow if we could just get people to donate to the campaign like this instead of here we might actually raise some money
This is a stupid fund raiser!! The money need to go to the RP campaign. There are ads on this site to cover expenses. We donated 20k USD about a month ago for DP. What a waste this is!
Start focusing on the upcoming states. 3 states are voting on tuesday!
Im just a little upset that
Im just a little upset that the last money bomb didnt get promoted here till the day before it started then this gets thrown up and pushed like crazy. Just kinda wondering whats up with that?
I consider the success of this "use the pre-'64 dime with REAL
metallic VALUE for its value's sake" to be an unmistakable sign that Ron Paul IS winning. This educational and practical movement will only serve to spread Ron Paul's message to wider general population and increase his chance to WIN politically as well.
So, be glad! No need to begrudge the success!,
What a stupid comment
We need to keep mediums like this going and I think people here have donated plenty to the campaign. I know I have and this is worth a few bucks. So relax and buy some silver.
ron paul does a better job
ron paul does a better job making my world better than a silver dime does, sorry i got plenty of silver, dont got enough ron paul yet
Even though my
initial reaction was to downvote your comment, and I did, but in my opinion, The Campaign, could be more flexible, less monolithic in it's function so far.
Just a little more diverse creativity needed, accepted, allowed?
If we are to create change, we must be willing to change in the process of creation ...
Ron Paul 2012!
bought 5
of these dimes and a 1 once Silver Circle recently. End the Fed!!!
This inspired me to find a local coin dealer. Will be converting 1/4 of every pay check to silver coins.
Whats the worst that could happen, my fiat dollar continues to inflate, silver gets more value. I'll be getting more wealthy every pay check as far as I am concerned.
The WORST that could happen
is Pres. Barack DELANO* Obama takes your dime for $5, THEN inflates the currency and sells it for $8.75, just like FDR did to people owning Gold when his tyrannical, socialist government screwed them over!
* He doesn't like us to use the middle name, so lets use the closest substitute
Buy 1 ounce of physical silver every month.
100,000 people buying 1 ounce of silver per month by election day is 600,000 ounces of physical silver. This would increase the price of physical silver and gold and would increase the size of Ron Paul's wealth and holdings, PLUS, you then stack silver.

I bought some
Just because its Awesome!
This is a really great idea
This is a really great idea and reminds me of Daily Paul threads from a year ago.
Gives a chance to donate to Daily Paul, and plus, with the inflation that I'm seeing signs of, may end up costing you nothing to donate.
Plus, they make good tip cards that offer a heads up to others too.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
This is a solid method to raise funds and I was happy to kick Daily Paul and the Freedom's Pheonix some cash for fundraising, both organizations I support. I sold off my junk silver for pure years back, but I made an exception in this case. What's really sad here, though, is that we're almost investing in the failure of our cause. To me, though, no matter the outcome...up or down...it's a win-win for us.
What is your production rate, and can you scale it for LARGE volumes? Thank you.
Production rate
Large volumes shouldn't be a problem. I make my Shire Silver cards (where they got the idea for the dime cards) myself and can do about a hundred per hour. I imagine their production rate would be similar, and they have multiple people helping.
Shire Silver - a better bullion that fits in your wallet.
There a silver dime in the card? If so, I will buy a few.
Yes. It's worth listening to the full story
Thanks for the Link
I didn't connect the radio program post with this silver dime card drive post. Thank you for giving the link herein. I just bought 5! I think the radio link would be an asset to the original post.
i am trying to use my credit card but i cant because it is associated w/ a paypal account that i no longer use and have had issues w/ paypal about.... isnt there anyway to pay using a credit card w/ out going through paypal?
I had a similar problem
I didn't see any choice other than going through Paypal by either logging into my old account or paying as a "guest". If you pay as a guest, you will need to use a different email address from the one linked to your account, and probably a different credit card as well.
I don't use Pay Pal and so I...
just clicked on the other mode of payment offered that allowed me to use my credit card. Go back and try it again and read it again and you will be able to buy yours w/out having to go thru Pay Pal, too.
What % of total revenue goes to what?
I couldn't find this information - forgive me if it's somewhere obvious. Is this all for Daily Paul? Ron Paul? A certain percentage to one, or the other, or a PAC? Let me know, thanks!
Best buy. I look at it has an
Best buy. I look at it has an investment :D
"The economy's not a class you can master in college. To think otherwise is the pretense of knowledge."
I'm interested but want to know
Is the dime Silver and is it included with the card?
