A Tutorial On How To Use The Indo Original Flo GF

2010-01-02T16:46:06Z

Here is a video I posted on our other website that is meant to explain how to use the Indo Original Flo GF for balance training, posture, and core stability. I wasn't going to post it here, but it is VERY applicable to Stand Up Paddle Surf training. I have been using this Indo Original Flo GF with my clients and I'm finding that it is so valuable to use on One Foot! Training one foot at a time is a great way to break your balance down to into finer segments and target one leg at a time. If one leg is stronger (which usually is the case) then you can target that leg more to build up your weak links. Enjoy!

DEC '09 SUP DEMO DAY IN SANTA BARBARA

2009-12-07T00:42:48Z

I went up to SB today to go to SurfingSports' SUP demo day to check out the new stuff they have going on. Wardog and Deb are always on top of the new trends - Plus, I have been anxious to get a new 8.3" quickblade paddle.

They didn't dissapoint! I tried 3 of Wardog's personal quiver custom built boards from North Pacific Surfboards and I must say that they are the most stable, yet maneuverable boards I have ever tried - even at 8'10! They have a quad +1 fin set up which makes them great for surfing or for just going for a paddle, and they are super durable and light since they are so small. I think they are an all around great board for what I am looking for. Here is a gallery from the day.

Wardog has a 10'6" stinger board which seems to be a great board for "Big" California days. The cool thing is about getting this custom made is that if you are smaller like me, you can just ask them to scale it down to 9'3" instead of 10'6". Thanks to Wardog for a great day!
