Sales Reviews
Recommend this dealer? Yes Purchased a vehicle from this dealer? Yes
My husband has always wanted a new Audi. After surviving cancer surgery, we decided to stop in Audi of Charlotte one day JUST TO LOOK! Before the week was out, he had ordered a new car with custom features. He loves it so much that he feels and looks 20 years younger in it. Our salesman Walter was a...

I think the reviews here typify how we tend to tell a lot more people about a bad experience than a good one.
For the negative reviews here, I am sure there are many more like mine that were positive experiences.
Walter gave me all the time and attention I needed for inquiring about a new Audi.

QUIT trying to make everyone else advertise for you!
I've struggled since the very beginning with BlueHat CDN. I was an early adopter and a paying player when I suddenly could not add any new sites to the CDN, then months later sites using the CDN couldn't retrieve content. I finally have up and went back to CloudFlare and or Amazon S3.
"Super-Charge your website using Blue Hat Turbo plugin for FREE!" is only part of the story.
You either have to display a link "Optimized By BHN" on your website which this plugin does automatically for you. Or you have to purchase a "pro" version.
If you don't purchase the pro version, you only get part of the advertised features from the plugin description page.
While I think it's reasonable to display this link for getting a free plugin, which keeps your blog fast when getting heavy usage, it's totally unreasonable to not state this fact in the description.
The marketing of this plugin begins "Instantly speed up your WordPress website using Blue Hat Turbo plugin for FREE!" However, to get this plugin to do anything, as far as I can tell, one needs to add a link to the plugin developer's site or pay to upgrade. I think the marketing of the plugin should make this clear. To me, neither of these options qualifies as free.
Purchased this some time ago and have yet to get it to do what I paid for it to do. Entered support tickets without getting a response.
I admit it … I fell for all of the hype from Blue Hat CDN. After extensive testing, I found that Blue Hat actually slowed my site by 1.4 seconds. None of Blue Hat's lofty claims seem to be a reality, in my opinion, possibly because the company is very small, its CDN network is tiny, and the service does not measure up to other CDNs.
By the way, if you look at all the 5-star rave reviews, they were all written on the same day, possibly by Blue Hat.

Electric Love
- Artists Jon Gurd, Alan Fitzpatrick
- Release Date 2012-05-07
- Labels 8 Sided Dice
- Catalog ESD043
- Description The UK techno scene has rarely been without new artists pushing the scene forward, but recent times have seen a rash of producers emerge and rise to global notoriety in double-quick fashion. One region that seems to have spawned more than most is UKs south coast, producing a long lineage of techno acts including 8 Sided Dice founder, Alan Fitzpatrick and fellow stable mates Reset Robot, Chris Colburn, Rich Jones and Bryan Chapman. Now add to that list Jon Gurd. No stranger to notoriety himself, his 2001 The Brotherhood track found favour with many, as has his Primal Rhythm label. Lead track, Electric Love sees Fitzpatrick & Gurd combine to create a deep and twisted cut centred around a distinctive Im going downtown vocal, stabby bass and steady nagging chords; a combination that resounds in the mix, generating a kinetic energy of its own to add to the solid thumping kick. On the flip, Pendulum plays its cards straighter, going for a full-force yet linear groove that matches shunting rhythms with pulsing mechanical tones and wobbly background tones. A pumping but powerfully hypnotic track, which combines raw, direct energy and taut, mesmerizing moods.

Jasmine Kripalani
Jasmine Kripalani is a court producer for CBS4.
Prior to joining CBS4, she worked as a reporter for The Miami Herald covering local politics, crime and occasional features for print and online.
She was part of The Miami Herald's Pulitzer Prize-winning team for its breaking news coverage of Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez who was seized by federal agents and returned to his father in April, 1999.
Jasmine is familiar with the only-in-South-Florida story lines that make this community such a news-rich environment. One such story Jasmine uncovered featured a greens keeper, who worked for an exclusive golf club in Weston, and, who, it was later discovered, had been robbing banks in Scottsdale, Ariz. on his days off.
Jasmine worked as an intern for various newspapers including the Commercial (Memphis) Appeal, Contra Costa Times in California's Bay Area, St. Paul Pioneer Press and The Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Her work has also appeared in The Washington Post. She spent a year studying French at the Sorbonne in Paris where she covered Yasser Arafat's death and other international stories on a freelance basis.
She joined CBS4 News in August of 2008, and has moved around the newsroom from night editor on the news assignment desk to producer for the CBS4 I-Team and now as weekend web producer.
When she's not working, Jasmine enjoys spending time with her daughter, reading, singing karaoke and learning new languages. She's fluent in Spanish and French.

WINDER, Ga. (AP) - The Barrow County Commission has approved a
plan to cut pay for all 512 county employees in a cost-saving
measure it says will, along with other spending cuts, help the
county shave about $2.2 million from county expenses over the next
eight months.
By a 4-3 vote, the commission approved a measure that would use
a graduated scale for reductions ranging from 3 percent to 10
percent. The measure goes into effect in February.
Besides pay cuts, county officials, among other moves, intend to
do away with holiday and on-call pay and eliminate two part-time
positions in leisure services.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Apr 01st, 1995
Running Time: 75
Director: Scotty Fox
Company: Coast To Coast Video
Cast: Steve Drake, Amanda Rae, Jasmine Aloha, Kylie Ireland, Mike Horner, Lynden Johnson, Kitty Yung, Mark Davis, Danyel Cheeks
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Mike Horner returns as private eye Harlow in this lightweight drama that has Mike vainly searching for some original footage during the show's first half hour. Unfortunately, all he can find are Sarah-Jane Hamilton, Joey Verducci, Bionca, Lilli Xene, Fallon and others from Rainwoman 7 via the magic of video clips.
He also finds the same sets and extras and bartender (played by Alex Sanders). This time, Sanders gets Kylie Ireland. (It was Horner in #7.) Mark Davis is also back, but instead of Kitty Yung (in what was probably her best scene ever, in #7), Mark gets three ladies on the bar's stage; Jasmine Aloha, Amanda Rae and Lynden Johnson. Not bad for a group scene, but it doesn't hold a candle to the Davis/Yung coupling.
Danyel Cheeks plays a rich bitch who has hired Horner and who takes time out from counting her money to give Mike a roll in the hay, or at least on her couch. (Some excellent set decoration here.) Kitty is on hand also to join with Steve Drake, who may be playing a butler, but due to the poor sound quality, I couldn't tell. Other than that, this is an acceptable entry, but enough of the scenes from earlier volumes, please.
Stock with earlier volumes in the series.

So, I am working on a fun personal project and it's definitely a WIP. I'm trying to stay away from the traditional gamer/team/clan site, and forum look. Trying to go with a more game website design/blog look.
Anyway, I'd love to see some awesome examples, but for now, this is what I have.
I've probably added and deleted a bunch of stuff I did at the top, as far as what do to for content. It's tough, but a good learning experience, plus I love this stuff.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
General Description
Allomyces macrogynus is a saprobic homothallic fungi from the order Blastocladiales. It exhibits two very similar looking dichotomously branching, coenocytic thalli while immature. However, once the thalli have reached maturity the orange male gametangia growing epigynously on the clear female gametangia make the haploid gametothallus differentiable from the diploid sporothallus that produces terminal sporangia. The gametangia produce small haploid posterior, uniflaggellate gametes. The female gamete is much less motile than the male gamete and diffuses a hormone called Sirenin to attract the male gamete. Upon gamete fusion a large posterior biflaggelate zygote is produced that encysts to form the sporothallus. On a single sporothallus both pigmented resistant sporangia and clear zoosporangia can be produced. The thick-walled, melanin pigmented, resistant sporangia are the site of meiosis and release haploid zoospores into an exit papilla prior to release into the water. The haploid zoospores later encyst to form the gametothallus. 1

Do Your Organs Glow in the Dark?
When an organ in the body isn't working properly, we usually take certain drugs to make up for the imbalance.
For instance, a person with diabetes will take insulin because his pancreas doesn't produce enough of the hormone, or doesn't use it effectively.
Well, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital have designed a way to make the body perform a desired function without drugs.
Essentially, they implant a transparent hydrogel material that illuminates in your body. And this new "organ" uses light to talk to cells – much like how a fiber optic cable uses light to transmit data across long distances.
Early tests show that the technology works, too. After implanting a diabetic mouse with the hydrogel, its glucose levels normalized in two days.

JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. (AP) - Commercial fishermen and charter boat
captains say they're bracing for economic devastation after a federal agency voted to ban red snapper fishing in the southern Atlantic Ocean for six months.
The ban approved Thursday by the South Atlantic Fishery
Management Council will likely take effect this summer.
It will affect commercial and recreational fishermen on the East Coast from Florida to North Carolina.
The council imposed the ban during its quarterly meeting at
Jekyll Island after federal scientists warned the population of
Atlantic snapper has dwindled from 50 years of overfishing.
Fishermen say size and catch limits for red snapper imposed in
1992 are working and the fish seem abundant.
Those who rely on red snapper say the ban could doom businesses already struggling with the turbulent economy.

An excellent work, Muqtada ends off right where current events pick up with the recent Iraqi army attacks ordered by Nuri al –Maliki in southern Iraq, Basra in particular. The media view that this was purely an Iraqi effort is put into place with one of author Patrick Cockburn's closing comments that Maliki "had limited real power" and felt "that he could not move a company of troops without American permission." This morning's news on al-Jazeera fully demonstrates American involvement with the new surge into Sadr City - the Baghdad stronghold of Muqtada's Mehdi army – supported by American Abrams tanks and aerial bombing.
Patrick Cockburn has written a fascinating account of Muqtada al-Sadr, with his departure point being the long history of Shiism in the Middle East. Muqtada neither extols the virtues of his subject and the heroic valour of his resistance, nor does it denigrate the Shia beliefs or the man himself. There is a fully balanced perspective and a good deal of critical analysis which allows the reader to place Muqtada accurately – or as accurately as can be given considering his elusive nature – within the overall historical context of the war in Iraq.
A deeper understanding of Muqtada comes indirectly from an understanding of his family's background, the martyr status of his father and grand-father and the murder of many of his family including his older siblings under the regime of Saddam Hussein. Much more than simply a radical firebrand cleric, Muqtada is seen as a more complex person "a cautious man" with a "sure instinct for the swift tactical retreat when confronting an opponent of superior strength." Coming of age during the unsuccessful Shia rebellion against Saddam, the fault being placed on the lack of American support, and then having to survive through the many years of sanctions and oppression, Muqtada developed a wily sense of survival, knowing when to confront, knowing when to back off, knowing when to disappear altogether.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
His stature arrives from his ongoing life within Iraq, rather than having gone into exile like so many of the elite in the Green Zone, now despised by the average Iraqi masses. Neither fully in control of nor fully determining the events in Iraq, his stature has increased immensely as the occupation continues. Never fully in control of his Mehdi army, circumstances carried him along as much as he helped shape them. The rebellion in Najaf and the subsequent escaping of a murder plot, the civic structure and safety provided by the Mehdi army in Sadr City, the strength of the army in claiming most of Baghdad during the ethnic cleansing of Sunni and Shiite factions, and most recently his successful standoff with the Iraq army in Basra, all have shaped his power and influence.
Other personalities enter into the story. Most notably from the comments made by Cockburn, would be the complete ineptitude of Paul Bremer who showed a "peculiar inability to learn from his mistakes." Bremer fully misjudged Muqtada, with Iraqi ministers "struck by the degree of Bremer's hatred and how much he belittled Muqtada." It was Bremer that underestimated Muqtada in Najaf and with growing Sunni cooperation in the battle, an end of sorts was reached, but "Muqtada had emerged the winner because he had challenged the U.S. led occupation, held off their greatly superior army for weeks, and survived without making concessions that would have weakened him permanently." Bremer is not fully faulted for the U.S. failures in Iraq: while his "errors are glaring in retrospect" U.S. actions "were determined by the Washington political agenda" and he received "disastrously poor advice from the returning Iraq exiles."
Another important figure in the same battleground is the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani who carries much more seniority and prestige within Southern Iraq. Sistani took a "quietist stance" in contrast to the Sadrist "activism and missionary zeal." Sistani avoided conflict between the Shia clerical leaders and the "all-powerful Iraqi state," of Saddam Hussein. Not all is smooth with the Shias as "there lingers a bitter sense of betrayal" because as the Sadrists fought and died, al-Sistani and others "stood by in silence," or rested in exile. Sistani "kept his distance from the CPA and would meet none of its officials," leading to Bremer's underestimating the determination of the Marji'iyyah [the senior Shia clergy] to force elections, which the Shia community was bound to win, and to insist on a new constitution in which Islam was the primary source of legislation." Essentially, the U.S. rhetoric of democracy came in spite of their efforts to quell it.
Other characters and issues obtain their share of commentary as well. One of the more significant is Muqtada and the Shia's relationship with Iran. Seen here as a "self-fulfilling" prophecy, the continual call to battle by the Americans against Iran has its influence in slowly driving Muqtada toward Iranian contacts based on the need for survival. Cockburn considers it a "poisonous myth…that the Shia of Iraq are puppets manipulated by Iran," as the "Sadrist movement was historically anti-Iranian." The Iranians could see "the immense advantage to itself of having 160,000 American soldiers stuck in the Iraq quagmire," and started "to increase its influence by infiltrating the Sadrist movement and Mehdi Army,[along with others]" bringing with them money and military training (hmm, sounds like the American way of operating).
The Baghdad surge is discussed under the parameters of Washington "outwardly treating the Iraqi administration as sovereign," but acting "brutal in asserting its authority in private." Muqtada lay low during the initial surge, "Keeping his distance form the Iraqi government in the Green Zone" as it was "almost universally loathed by Iraqis because of its failure to provide security or the basics of life."
Cockburn's final analysis considers that "the new government cowering in the Green Zone turned into a kleptocracy comparable to Nigeria or the Congo." As a result of the surge "the Shia's had won and there were few mixed areas left" in Baghdad. Now as well, a new breed of Sunni warlord is emerging to counteract not only al-Queda, but also the Shia influence in Iraq. As for what lies in the future, undoubtedly more fighting and destruction, continuing the "disintegration of Iraq" as it "has probably gone too far for the country to exist as anything more than a loose federation."
As the U.S. supports (pushes?) Iraqi troops inside Sadr City, and with Muqtada threatening an all out counter-insurgency, this book makes one wonder about the unexpected, unintended outcomes of the American actions as they encounter Muqtada's sense of survival combined with his willingness to stand up to the occupation.
With thirty years experience in Iraq, Cockburn's writing places him in the forefront of journalistic writing in the world today. A mix of anecdotal stories, historical commentary, analytical thought examining different ideas and viewpoints, and eyewitness accounts, Muqtada stands out as a work to be taken seriously by anyone wondering about the reality of the situation within Iraq.

Thrills shot through Castiel making him shudder. He wasn't sure how long it had been since the leviathan had vanished from sight. He was no longer completely connected to his vessel, which made it difficult to judge elements like time and location. However strange waves of cruel glee had been vibrating through him for what seemed like hours. Castiel wondered what horrible wrath the creature was visiting upon the world outside Jimmy.
Once he was sure he was alone Castiel had begun to try taking hold of his vessel again. Every time he lifted his hands and reached for the threads of Jimmy's nervous system he grasped at goo. Everything was slick as if smeared with oil. Before long he let his arms sink back into the water and ground his teeth in frustration. Not for the first time his mind filled with memories. He could feel Dean's strong hands lifting him to his feet when he could not will his legs to do so. He could hear the waver in Bobby's voice when he spoke. He could feel Sam crumble when he pushed the wall down.
A feeling swelled deep within Castiel. He needed them to hear him; he needed their last meeting to not be their parting. His mind reeled for ways to reach them. Through his vessel it could not yet be done but as an angel few things where beyond his reach. Angels could enter the Dreaming and speak to people regardless of protective sigils or distance. Castiel moved himself into the dream realm and searched for signs of his friends. He looked for the old hunter's house filled with dusty books and memories. An apartment rented for a few weeks with a golden dog on the carpet. Most of all he sought the giant house of the Winchester's youth. A home to the young family, a mighty castle to one small green-eyed boy.
Though he was thorough he found no dreams belonging to those people he knew and made to return back to reality when something caught his eye. It was and it wasn't Sam Winchester. He seemed almost spectral as though he were struck between the waking world and the Dreaming. He was watching Castiel, face pale, body frozen in a seated position and yet Castiel saw no chair. He wondered at this strange phenomenon.
"Sam?" he asked taking a step closer. Though the vision did not reply Castiel could tell from the look in his eyes that he heard. The angel felt a smile niggling at the edges of his downturned lips. He wondered if he'd smile again. He opened his mouth to speak but something coiled around him, choking the air from his lungs and the words became a husky cry. In an instant he was back in the watery cave constricted by a massive scaly twist of skin. The scales where like sharpened shields cutting at his body as they pulled tighter.
"Why do you keep me here? You have this vessel!" Castiel snarled, desperate to return to the Dreaming and catch Sam before he slipped away. He had to let them know he was still alive. A rumbling laugh that climbed in pitch cackled through the air.
"Do you really think we would keep the wagon and not the horse?" it sniggered "As long as you're here with us they will not kill this vessel "
"They will, they know that saving this world is more important then saving me" Castiel shot back trying to wriggle free earning little more then some extra tatters in his suit. Gravity dove as the coil wrapped around Castiel dunked him deep under the water.
"The old sucker would" it mused voice echoing around. Castiel followed the sight of what held him, the body seeming to stretch on forever coming in and out of view for miles.
"The younger Winchester'd end you no doubt " It was then that he caught a glimpse of it's head. It's eyes were like those of a shark, lifeless and sunk in its horrible face. Jowls hung from a gaping mouth stories high and lined with thin, sharp and thick crooked teeth. Castiel had never seen such a fearsome beast. He supposed even Lucifer would fear it.
"But not Dean" it smiled as Castiel struggled for a breath of air "I could see it through your eyes as I tossed him against the wall. The way he stared up at us
He will not allow it. No Castiel you will stay here, you will stay quiet or you will drown forever"

Hey all... I have been asking for help lately and getting none LOL... not even a response. Well anyway, I'm hoping today there might be a techie willing to take a look at this for me. I am using Magazine Premium as my theme and when I activate the plugin 'Mingle' on my website, it shuts down the flash rotating intro on the homepage. Can anyone explain that? Or what I should do to fix it? Thanks so much in advance!
http://www.paranormalutopia.com that is the link to the website and I'm going to leave mingle on for now so you can see what I mean. I want to have it so I can get the forums in there and within the parameters of the site as no other forum/message board that I know of will. The flash intro is the one large image and the four small ones near it that rotates the 4 most recent posts from whatever category you choose.
I'm open to ALL ideas right now. Sorry this is so poorly written but it's almost 7 in the morning and I haven't been to sleep yet LOL Hopefully I'll make more sense by the time I get up to check these messages. Thanks so much!

It has been two weeks since the National Hockey League canceled the 2005 All-Star Game. Since then, one question has been resonating across the league: When will the season suffer the same fate?
It depends on the offer.
Both the NHL and the NHL Players' Association are expected to make at least one more proposal before the season is canceled, sources close to both players and owners tell ESPN.com.
But instead of meaningful compromises, those same sources say the offers will reinforce the polarized positions and will be used as ammunition when the dispute proceeds to what seems to be the inevitable next step -- the declaring of a legal impasse by owners, likely next fall, and an attempt to unilaterally impose a hard salary cap. The move would force players to either report to their teams or strike, which would create the possibility for owners to use replacement players. In turn, the players' association may block the declaration of an impasse by claiming the owners haven't bargained in good faith.
However, if there are legitimate concessions in either side's proposal, the timing becomes paramount.
The league is currently allowing owners to schedule their buildings on a rolling 45-day basis, which was increased from 30-day increments Oct. 19. But NHL executive vice president and chief legal officer Bill Daly said the 45-day period is not a restrictive timeframe.
"It is certainly possible that if we had a deal tomorrow, for instance, we could be playing within 45 days," Daly said. "The 45-day roll-out period is not an automatic cancellation window."
League officials continue to insist there isn't a drop-dead date and one hasn't been discussed.
The 103-day lockout of 1994-95 was resolved Jan. 11, in time to implement a 48-game season that began Jan. 20. Supposing one month of negotiating would be needed to reach an agreement, then negotiations must be under way and on the right track by mid-December in order to save a portion of the season.
"I think Dec. 15, there would have to be a deal in place to play," said one NHL general manager who asked not to be identified for fear of financial reprisals as outlined in NHL by-law 17.17, which prohibits comments pertaining to the CBA.
Another source with significant ties to both the players' association and ownership expects that if a deal isn't in place by the first week of January the owners will gather shortly thereafter and collectively cancel the season. He added that if owners ultimately want to declare an impasse, "there's got to be something on the table that's better than it is now."
As of now, an owners' meeting is not scheduled.
"I really don't know what to make of their plans or their timetable," NHLPA senior director Ted Saskin said Monday. "Their entire strategy through the lockout I don't fully understand, so from my perspective it's difficult to say what they might do or when they might do it."
The owners introduced what the players' association described as a one-page outline of a hard salary cap last October. The players' counteroffer included revenue sharing, a luxury tax and a one-time five-percent rollback in salaries, as well as additional entry-level salary limits. Both sides rejected the other's proposal.
That exchange was followed up on July 21 by a series of six proposals from the league, all of which tied player salaries to revenues.
Possibly undermining the negotiation process is Forbes magazine's recent report that the league has grossly exaggerated its losses, a long-held assertion of the players' association and a lynchpin in their argument against a salary cap. The report, which did not have access to teams' financial records, estimated the league's losses at $219 million over the past two seasons, less than half of what the league claims. The NHL and individual owners immediately denounced the story.
Meanwhile, the NHL stands by its claim of $497 million in losses during the past two seasons and the results of the Levitt Report, a league-commissioned audit of the 2002-03 season by Arthur Levitt, former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that found player salaries accounted for 75 percent of team revenues and that 19 of 30 teams suffered losses. The league has denied access to teams' financial records to the players' association and outside parties, other than Levitt.
One former Western Conference general manager said he felt the Forbes story might prod the owners into moving toward reaching a settlement.
"That'll stir the pot a little bit," he said. "This really puts a nail to ownership all of a sudden."
A source familiar with the NHLPA and its bargaining process says the players' association might tweak its latest proposal, which was presented Sept. 9 and contained a more stringent luxury tax, before the season is canceled.
"I've said we're not going to stand on ceremony. We're going to work to think of ways to bridge the gap," said Saskin, who would not confirm the formulation of a new proposal or the timetable of one.
In a meeting two weeks ago, the Players' Association addressed a groundswell of frustration from players angry the two sides have not met in more than two months. However, it is a factor that might play into a new proposal being presented from the players' side.
Regardless of the motivation, it is unlikely either side will stray from their respective positions for fear of weakening their case down the road. One labor expert noted that Major League Baseball weakened its case to declare an impasse during the 1994 stoppage by continuing to negotiate with players.
If NHL owners detail their demands for a hard cap, as opposed to discussing a luxury tax system, they would protect their "legal framework," the source said. Similarly, the players' association's response will be measured to protect its argument that the owners haven't been negotiating in good faith.
"The players," the source said, "are not going to want to start negotiating on the owners' system."

Paper Denim & Cloth Jeans
New denim @ Bluefly: True Religion, J Brand, Joe's Jeans & more!
Great new stuff over at Bluefly from J Brand, True Religion, Raven, Joe's Jeans, Paper Denim & Cloth and more!
Has Paper Denim & Cloth gone under?
We got an email tip that Paper Denim & Cloth has gone under, and that several Paper Denim & Cloth employees and designers have told our source its true. Can anyone confirm? The site PaperDenim.com is down. We will post if we get confirmation, but so far, this seems to be pretty credible. Interesting because Earnest Sewn was created by the same designer and founder as Paper Denim & Cloth, and Earnest Sewn just got a new financial backer and are set to expand…did they kill Paper Denim off in the process?
Deal of the Day – Paper Denim Fusion Jeans
Paper Denim & Cloth has lowered its price point lately – which we can't complain about, as we still love the quality of their jeans! (And no, they are not made out of paper). We love these Paper Denim & Cloth Bootcut Jeans in the Fusion Stretch wash, on sale at Macy's for just $60.99!

I recently had the chance to sit down and interview Connor Baxter at the 2017 Starboard distributor meeting on Maui. I can't post the video on his updated version of the Bolt paddle yet though I can say it felt great. This video features Connor talking about the length of his paddles for SUP racing and Stand Up Surfing (his paddles are dramatically shorter than they used to be) and has some great stroke technique tips.
Connor explains how he uses his legs and core muscles more and keeping his upper body relaxed. He also talks about his choke down stroke, "porpoising" his board when sprinting and some other great insights. You can't argue with his results, please give the thumbs up on youtube if you enjoy this video and subscribe to the blueplanetsurf youtube channel!
Connor Baxter demonstrates his stroke technique in this video and talks about how it changes over the years, including a dramatically shorter paddle length, and how he watches and tries to mimic the strokes of other top paddlers like Danny Ching and Travis Grant at races. He uses the analogy of pulling and propelling yourself past a fixed steel pole on a skateboard by pulling the hips back and then throwing them forward, a good analogy.
This is a link to a facebook video of Georges Cornsteadt that shows him using the forward thrust coming from the hips in a paddling drill:

If you are new to downwind stand up paddle boarding, and want to get ready to do some open ocean downwinders, these are some tips and drills you can practice in flat water to help you get ready for riding bumps on a SUP. Check the bottom of this page for information on coached downwinders.
This post is focused on downwinders and catching/ gliding on bumps, but this drill is also helpful for catching breaking waves if you want to learn to stand up paddle surf.
In this first video I'm showing how to take a few quick accelerating strokes and then pause, glide and skim/ brace the paddle to keep you stable and balanced while gliding. If you are doing a downwinder in light winds, this is what you will end up doing: a few quick accelerating strokes, then pause and glide while you are getting pulled along by the bump in front of you. In light wind you usually won't have to move the feet back, you can keep the parallel stance close to the center of the board. It's good to practice this drill in flat water to break the habit of paddling with long, powerful strokes at a steady pace. Downwinders are about quick sprints and glides, so you have to learn to break up your pace. The first step is to practice taking 3,4, or 5 quick strokes and then let the board glide for about the same amount of time, so you are only paddling for about half the time. Don't worry about moving your feet at first and just get into a good rhythm of accelerating and then gliding and skimming your paddle for balance. Try to skim it as far out to the side as possible with the paddle at a low angle to the water for side to side stability and behind you for front to back stability. Just skim the paddle lightly over the surface, you don't want to break, just keep the paddle very close to the water or skim very lightly over the surface. While skimming the paddle acts as a third leg which will give you more control and will allow you to feel more comfortable in rougher conditions. If you do loose your balance you can lean on the paddle and push your center of gravity back over the center of the board.
This next video shows how to start in "first gear" by taking quick, short strokes for powerful acceleration. You want to focus on keeping your stroke in front of your feet and using quick bursts of power to accelerate. Practice this in flat water as well as you will not have time to focus on this when conditions get rough.
When the wind is stronger and the bumps get steeper, you will also have to move your weight back on the board to keep the nose from piercing and to allow your board to release and accelerate by planing on top of the water surface and to reduce the amount of wetted surface. So, once you are good at stroking quickly to accelerate and then gliding while skimming the paddle, the next step is to also practice moving your feet back as you stop paddling and glide. As the board slows down and the tail starts to sink, you then have to move your weight back forward close to center quickly and take some more quick acceleration strokes. The video below has some helpful tips for moving your feet around on the board without rocking the board and loosing your balance:
If you do this for a while, you will notice that these quick sprints followed by pauses of gliding will actually be very hard work and your heart rate will go up to a higher rate than when paddling at a steady pace. I find that my heart rate goes up significantly higher in downwinders than when flatwater paddling which is why it is so important to relax and rest while you get a free ride when gliding on and connecting bumps. If you don't rest it is hard to catch the next bump. There is a misconception that when the wind blows hard you hardly have to paddle anymore. The reality is that you have to accelerate more quickly and paddle even harder to catch the faster moving bumps on the really windy days if you want to keep up with the really fast guys. The goal is to move as close to the speed of the bumps as possible and the stronger the wind is and the longer the fetch (the distance the wind has to create bumps), the faster you have to move to catch them.
The next video covers the five most common mistakes made by first timers on downwind runs and will be helpful to watch as well if you want to improve your downwind stand up paddle technique.
In this Board Meeting Episode #13 Evan and Robert talk in depth about the drills shown in the first video:

Safety first: Downwinders can be dangerous. Always go with a partner or group and if you are going for the first time, go with an experienced paddler or coach. Have a plan and set up meeting places if you loose sight of each other, with can happen quickly in open ocean conditions. Take a cellphone in a waterproof case and/ or a EPIRB. Always wear a leash and make sure all your equipment is in good condition.

When I first started Stand Up Paddling, I was struggling to catch waves. I was pulling on the paddle as hard as I could and figured the harder I pulled on the paddle and the more the shaft was bending, the more power I was applying and the faster the board would go. Despite pulling as hard as I could I was missing a lot of waves, I also kept breaking paddles.
A big breakthrough for me came when Brian Keaulana gave me this tip after watching me try to catch a wave: "You are starting in third gear!" He explained that first gear is short, quick strokes, way up in front, just tapping the water, not long, hard pulls. That was a turning point for me, I learned how to use these quick accelerating strokes and it worked like a charm. Not only was I no longer breaking paddles but my board would accelerate with just a few quick strokes and I started catching more waves. This technique also works well in downwinders, whenever you need to accelerate to catch a bump. Even in flatwater races you can use them at the start, after turns, or to catch up to a draft. So I encourage you to watch the video, try this first gear acceleration stroke, and you will be a more well rounded paddler. Not all strokes are the same, learn to use different gears when paddling and switch them up as needed.
Continue watching after the video ends to see more SUP Tip videos in the playlist.
This video demonstrates how to accelerate quickly on a Stand Up Paddleboard by "starting in first gear". Quick, short, strokes create lift and smooth acceleration that will help you get the board on a plane to surf a wave or catch a bump in downwinders.

Quick, short bursts of power will help you get up to speed to catch a wave or bump
On downwinders the goal is to get the board to plane over the surface of the water and surf the open ocean wind swells.
Gear used in this video: Kai Zen paddle with 88 blade, the blue board is the 2016 12'6 x 28 Blue Planet Bump Surfer, the rasta board is the 14' x 28" Bump Rider. Drone video shot with the Hexo+ drone, land video by Evan Leong of standuppaddlesurf.net
What's the best part about downwinders? The glides!
So I made this video without a single paddle stroke, just bump riding and gliding. A fun evening Hawaii Kai to Waikiki downwinder with my buddy Peter Shepherd from Sydney. Peter is on a 17' SIC Bullet V3 and I'm on the 14' x 28" Bump Rider. It's great to be able to get off work a bit early to do a downwinder during the busy holiday season.
Happy Holidays everyone!
