SUP RACE. Tips for the UPWIND

Imagen
Hello everyone, today I sill l like to introduce you to the Sup race world. What’s the Upwind? Upwind is when you are paddling against the wind and it’s the hardest way to paddle. Now I would like to give you some tips about how to paddle Upwind and continue going faster.. 1st TIP: Paddle  with good rhythm... The longer the paddle is out of the water, the less we will advance, so we have to try to keep the pace. Better to give shorter paddles but with a higher rhythm. If we make slow movements the wind will slow down the advance. So the first advice is short, fast and constant paddling. 2nd TIP: Go facing the wind and  paddle straight. As soon as we turn a little and we put aside the wind exerts force on us and on the side of the table so it makes us turn automatically, so we must make an extra effort to redirect the table where we want. 3rd TIP: Advance the position of the body in the table.

Super core session!

CORE TIME !! In the following post we present a table of exercises dedicated specifically for the core. Everyone thinks that the core is only doing crunches, but the core is the entire middle part of the body and is made up of many muscles, not just the rectus abdominus, the muscles that form the core are the following: ABDOMEN (rectus abdominis, external obliques, internal obliques, abdominal transverse); LOW BACK (multifidus muscle, erector muscle of the spine, latissimus dorsi); HIP (gluteus, iliopsoas). For this exercise table we need a fitball, a bosu and a mat. To do this training it is necessary to carry out a basic heating of joint mobility of the parts of the body that are going to work and, after a smooth 3-minute running. Joint mobility: - Weists rotation - Shoulder rotation - Hip mobility - Flexion - extension of knees - Ankles Rotation Here you can watch videos or images of all exercises: - Fitball plank: https://youtu.be/4JxaKKO4I_c - Isometric superman: https:...

EXPERIENCES

Imagen
Hi all! How you doing? I am now in the blog to talk about last experience I had in the amazing world of SUP. We said in past posts that in Alicante there is no good weather to enjoy some modalities of SUP like surfing waves because of here, usually there is not enough wind to practice this modality. BUT, last 3, 4 days, we were the lucky ones. Here, in Alicante was good weather that caused I could introduce me to the water to enjoy the waves for my first time. It was amazing, It was incredible feelings out there. It was a cold and windy day, early in the morning and I was sleepy and angry because I love to sleep but at the same time, I felt nervous and impatient to be in the water. The morning went fine and to be my first time surfing with a SUP, I did not do it wrong. I am sure this day was the first time but not the last time, and for this week will be windy too, maybe, it is time to improve my skills...I will tell you in my next post! Carlos.
