They pulled together an amazing array of sponsors and helping hands to put women out on the water, some of us for the first time on a stand-up paddle board. As one of those beginners, I felt very well cared for, even though on the day of this event – with some 300 women and their boards showing up on the beach in front of the Four Seasons Resort – there was a serious shore break.

In addition to putting on a great fitness-oriented program with a slew of prizes for participants, Suzie and Tommy seemed to have pulled in a significant portion of the stand-up community on Maui to help. I especially appreciated the “board caddies,” a bunch of very fit and helpful gentlemen, who helped us with our boards and got us safely in and out of that hairy shore break.

Although I spent a lot more time in the water and climbing back onto my board than I did standing up, I had a great time, and I hope the event raised lots of funds for the American Breast Cancer Foundation.”

Maui Jim will be providing over 25 prizes in the constantly growing “Grand Raffle Event” including 6 pairs of Maui Jim premium sunglasses!  Other prizes include their high quality logo beach towels, visors and clothing.  “It’s an amazing and very generous contribution.  We’re really excited to have such a high end, globally recognized brand originating from Maui involved in this event.  Their glasses are incredibly well designed and a functionally superior product to what’s available on the market, and while living here, we really need it.  All of our contributing sponsors are really stepping up to make this a fantastic day for our guests.” says event co-host Tommy Callan of Beach Boy Events.

Maui Jim patented proprietary technology keeps the sunny days crisp and distortion free, while keeping the occasional overcast, cloudy days brighter and more clear. 

What was once a small sunglass company started in the old whaling town of Lahaina, Maui in the early 1980’s has evolved into an international optical leader in premium eyewear.  

Maui Jim sunglasses achieves this extraordinary task by eliminating 100% of UV light and makes reference to UVA as “Aging” light known as “long wave” light which contributes to the aging of skin and tanning.

A patented 9 layer design including a water proof coating, an anti-reflective “bounce back” layer which prevents eye fatigue, a scratch resistant clear coat, and an optically correct distortion free lens that is bonded to a proprietary polarizing film to eliminate glare and transmit more usable light, insures that your view is the best view!  And with over fifty styles to choose from, it’s safe to say that other’s “view” of you will be pretty good too.

So come join the Aloha and learn how to do the fastest growing water sport in the world on the beautiful island of Maui at Four Seasons Resort.  Stand Up Paddle Surfing (SUP) is making surfers out of everyone.  You’ve seen the “Stars” do it … now it’s YOUR turn!  SUP will improve your balance, endurance, strength and mindset.  Receive patient, guided instruction from professional instructors and experience the feeling of the “surfer’s glide”.

9/17/09  The Other Side, Islamorada 

The Florida Keys have always been said to be a great place to escape to … and if you’re lucky, you find the “Otherside”.

The Otherside Boardsports on the sleepy key called Islamorada is Mike and Shauna Walsh’s “otherside”.  These two and their little man Cody (”free” years old … he’s obviously wiser than his years) have managed the great escape earlier rather than later in life and are living the dream most of us never dare think of.  Surfing and Kiting enthusiasts at heart, they recently got the SUP bug that’s spreading faster than that pig thing.[[Show as slideshow]]

I met up with them at Founder’s Park which is ideally located just down the street from their jam packed little board shop.  Lot’s of mainland escapees (and “Gieco” the Lizard, no shit, that’s it’s real name) showed up to check out Starboard’s SUP deal.

Shauna offers Eco Tours and Mike can teach you just about everything else water related.  Their shop is 2 years young and there’s no doubt this couple is growing into a valuable resource on sleepy Islamorada.

Go check’em out and get into whatever you like.  They’ll help you too find the “otherside” .

With 3 locations around Florida, Liquid Surf & Sail has you covered for your SUP needs.  They are the latest retailer to jump on the Starboard SUP program.  I paddled with owner Jim DeSilva and his crew Sam and Julian the other night around the Shake A Leg marina in Coconut Grove.  They experienced Starboard’s construction and design elements first hand and realized that Starboard’s line-up was a win for them as well as their customers.  I mean, what retailer doesn’t want to offer the best SUP board?
[[Show as slideshow]]

My personal impressions of the paddle were 1. Julian’s paddle style rocks however “backwards” it appears, 2. Sam will be featured in GQ Magazine and Men’s Health with is new SUP Fitness program … He’s so Florida.  You may also see him working with Corona promoting his “Loaded Corona” drink on a campus near you!  3. Jim’s “Peter Pan” youthful attitude confirms I’m doing the right thing if I want to stay as young at heart.  4. Our dolphin escort during the evening paddle is what it’s all about.  Screw being on a huge boat sitting on your ass and missing their unique effect on your life … now where’s that manatee?
