New SUPlove boards and SUPlove's First Sale!

Jon Ham — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 20:24:21 +0000

They are finally here! SUPlove has gotten their first set of boards to the US and we were lucky enough to try them out and help get their first sale! More exciting things to come from SUPlove! I tried the 8'10" x 28.5" Challenger model and I found it to be very stable, agile, and super fun to surf. The 9'4" Mach1 is it's big brother and would be an ideal SUP surf board for someone between 140-180 lbs, while the 8'5" Challenger seems to be an ideal board for someone under 160lbs. At 145lbs, I find the Challenger to be an ideal board.

Best Pre - Stand Up Paddle Breakfast!

Jon Ham — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 02:56:06 +0000

Cari and I have been eating Coach’s Oats now for about a year and I cannot recommend getting in to a healthy habit like this enough. I used to eat a bagel every day and I knew it was a terrible choice, but it was a habit. Now, I eat Coach’s every day and made this a habit. It is healthy, tastes great, and easy and convenient to make. This is something that worked for us, now I challenge you to go with the Coach! Start your morning off on the right foot and take control of at least one meal of the day, right away, every day. Plus, Coach's Oats is a PERFECT pre- Paddle meal! Be sure to eat before you go out and paddle in the morning - you will be happy after a few hours that you did!

SUPlove Owner Matt Johnston with Jon Ham

Jon Ham — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 23:08:58 +0000

It’s a small world! Matt Johnston from SUPlove and I got connected on Facebook when Matt downloaded my free e-book on Stand up Paddle surfing conditioning. Fast forward a couple months, and Matt moved to Huntington Beach, CA where he is developing a new line of Stand Up Paddle Boards called SUPlove. Matt and I went out to my local break where we rode his boards and had a blast! The SUPlove boards were great, especially the 9’4” X 29 that I rode most of the morning. It is quite buoyant, maneuverable, stable and a very fun board in the surf. I must say that I was quite skeptical in the beginning, yet the board proved to be much more than I anticipated.

Here are just a few examples of why I like to use the Indo Board in my training sessions with clients - Especially for SUP!

TRX Indo Board Fusion - Indo Roller Scorpion + 1 Leg Atomic Pushup

Jon Ham — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 22:26:03 +0000

Here is an exercise I've been working on that has been challenging and fun at the same time. It utilizes the TRX and the Indo Board Roller to do a 1 Leg Scorpion and atomic pushup. I usually do about 8-10 reps of each while trying to maintain my balance. This is great for SUP! It is so core intensive that the exercise is fantastic for training your balance, stability and strength - all needed for stand up paddle surfing.

TRX + Indo Board Fusion at IHRSA 2010!

Jon Ham — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 16:45:11 +0000

Here is some video of the TRX + Indo Board Fusion class that I helped to teach and create at IHRSA 2010 in San Diego. I think it generally went pretty well seeing that not many people were actually familiar with both tools and with so many moving parts and so many different ability profiles, it was difficult to keep the class flowing smoothly. All in all, I do think it was a success! Using both tools is a great way to train for Stand up Paddle as I have demonstrated in my FREE e-book on How to Train for SUP! Here's a little background:
