Danny Ching and Erika Benitez have taken out the 2016 Hanohano Huki Ocean Challenge in San Diego’s Mission Bay, with 500 paddlers showing up on a crisp morning for this classic, early season race. The Infinity speed freaks Dave Boehne & Slater Trout took line honours on their tandem SUP, while Rob Rojas snuck across for second over the line on his unlimited. But in the main battle of the 14 footers, Danny narrowly edged out his new team mate Noa Hopper, with Chase Kosterlitz, Chuck Glynn, Chance Fielderand Gabriel Beauchesne Sevigny all just seconds behind.

PADDLE HEALTHY: 5 TRAINING AND RACING TIPS TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE

Posted January 22, 2016October 3, 2017 Posted in Paddleboard Rentals, Paddleboard Training, SUP Training, Uncategorized

There are several reasons to train with a partner or group. Firstly, it is someone to hold you accountable on those lazy days when you really don’t want to paddle, but know you should. When you’ve made plans to meet, you gotta show up or risk being called out on Facebook for being a flake or a “loser.” Also, when you set a workout goal with your training partners you are more likely to complete a challenging workout or task than you would be if you were alone.

Your Very Own Custom Made SeaDek Marine Nonskid SUP Traction Pad

Posted October 27, 2015May 10, 2017 Posted in SaeDek Marine, SeaDek, Uncategorized

When starting the beginning of my career in the water sport industry at a Stand Up Paddle Board rental company, The SUP Connection, my passion for the sport grew tremendously. Couple months into the new company, I was rewarded with my very own ‘Killer’ stand up paddle board. I fell in love with the size and color, but soon started to realize the original traction pad was not working out.

The SUP Connection is very excited to once again help sponsor the 2015 PaddleFest held at Bonita Cove on Mission Bay October 17th, 2015.

We always look forward to this annual charitable event. This year, The SUP Connection provided 10 Bounce paddleboards and provided 5 different time slots for SUP instruction. Thank you to Wes and everyone else that helped make this yet another successful event.

Dogs seem perfectly designed to be our adventure buddies. They are natural athletes, they don’t complain, and their excitement to be outside, by our side, is unmatched. But that’s not to say they don’t require a little basic training to join us safely and happily in our favorite sports. We asked a cadre of athletes and expert trainers for their tips on how to get our pups prepared for some serious playtime.

We spent many years of researching, spending too much money, doing too many repairs and generally being dissatisfied with the equipment we used for rentals. Finally, the search is over. We could not be more pleased with the Bounce SUP’s that we are now using.

Fanuel Park, located at then end of Fanuel Street, south past Pacific Beach Drive. The perfect launching point into Sail Bay. Easy entry into the water and large grassy area to prep before and after paddling. This is the perfect spot to come with kids. There is a great little park right on the beach and the water is calm and nice for the little ones. There is even a lifeguard and a designated swim area during the summer months. There are restrooms and showers for public use. As with most parks in the summer, come early on the weekends because parking is limited.
