(Huntington Beach, Calif.) – Quiksilver Waterman Collection recently partnered with Mother Ocean and Tahoe SUP to launch a yearlong project in 2013 called Expedition Florida 500 (XF500). XF500 is a modern-day exploration of Florida’s coastline, waterways, and marine ecosystem as seen through the eyes of the waterman. 2013 is Florida’s 500th anniversary since Ponce de Leon discovered the land back in 1513; in celebration of this momentous occasion, the three organizations will unite to embark on a year-long journey combining the best of exploration, adventure, stewardship, science, and sport into a package that will include the full gamut of the waterman’s lifestyle.

The team will consist of watermen from all three organizations, spending the first half of the year exploring the coastline: chasing hurricane swell in the Atlantic, freediving Spanish shipwrecks, sailing in the Gulf of Mexico, stand up paddling the state’s coastline, catching mini-season lobsters in July, spearfishing in the Dry Tortugas, stopping into local beachside communities and hosting cleanups. They’ll encourage others to paddle with them, including team riders from Quiksilver and various celebrity paddlers. They’ll also be mapping the coastline and waterways with the help of Below the Surface and their Riverview Project (imagine Google Street View for rivers). In addition, the team will be collecting research and data along the way to further ocean science.

Team XF500 will then turn inland, spending the second half of the journey along the rivers, lakes, estuaries, and marshland – the intricate network that makes up the Florida marine ecosystem. They’ll document, map, and explore the waterways in similar fashion as they did with the coastline. They’ll camp and airboat through the Everglades, canoe the natural springs, drive old pickup trucks that run on algae biofuel, film amazing Florida wildlife and scenery, kayak and stand up paddle the rivers and waterways, and leave the land in better and cleaner condition than when they arrived. Camping and living off the land will be the norm.

The expedition’s primary goal is to highlight the importance of stewardship efforts as they relate to the ocean, coastlines, waterways, and the marine ecosystem. Florida is unique in that it embodies the entire marine waterway system from source to sea – one of the few places on Earth with such thriving wildlife and a natural environment based around water. The team will document their journey through daily blogging, daily photos and videos for social media outlets, filming for their own documentary and filming for Tahoe SUP’s EXPLORE project series.

XF500 was designed by Justin Riney, founder and Executive Director of Mother Ocean. Riney recently launched Mother Ocean on January 1, 2012 with the purpose of creating, inspiring, and empowering ocean advocates worldwide. “Our goal with Expedition Florida 500 is to merge our passion for ocean advocacy with an incredible storyline that resonates with the masses. With the help of Quiksilver and Tahoe SUP, our voice and platform will reach a global audience. XF500 is just the beginning – we’re rallying the troops.”
Riney will lead the expedition with Peter Mel of Quiksilver Waterman Collection, Matt Kechele of Quiksilver, and Nate Brouwer of Tahoe SUP rounding out the project management team. In addition, both Quiksilver and Tahoe SUP have designated Riney an ambassador and team rider for their brands.

Quote: “Walking is a man’s best medicine” Hippocrates

The typical individual will burn in between 100 and 125 walking calories per mile. The more you weigh, the more calories you will burn.

As what the surgeon general of the United States have mentioned, a total of 30 minutes of moderately-intense physical activity, such as walking, that you do for at the very least 5 days a week can enable you to become fit and healthy. So in the event you walk for 10 minutes three times each day in a week, you’ll certainly notice improvements to your overall being.

If you grow stale quickly with your exercise routines, then the perfect solution for you is to seek variety. One technique that can allow you to get more out of your exercise sessions is cross training. Even if you belong to a gym, there are many options available there that you can use for this. Whatever it is that you normally do, then just pick something that is different. This is used quite extensively by those who do weight training, and the possibilities are endless. Actually, when you cross train you are using your muscles differently, and that is better for your body. Actually, I’ve learned a lot about fitness from a seminar not too long ago that was sponsored by different ultrasound technician schools.

Among its many other benefits, exercise can help keep your skin looking healthy and young. Sure, you need to avoid too much sun, smoking and all that good stuff, too.

However, regular exercise can also help, as the increased blood flow brings nutrients to all areas of the body, including your skin. You know when you work hard, you sweat – and that is one more cleansing effect on your body. The long term benefits of physical fitness are well known, and your quality of life will remain better and for much longer.

You can improve your social life while you get fitter, and many activities are more fun when done with a partner, or in groups. As you can clearly see, the possibilities here are almost unlimited when it comes to what you choose to do. If you don’t know anyone who wants to start working out or that has a compatible schedule, you can search for people locally or online, perhaps putting out a classified ad for an activity partner. Adding the social dimension definitely will make it a lot more fun just because that is the way it works. Learning more about working out is the smart thing to do. It’s just a matter of finding activities you can pursue consistently and also watching your diet and daily habits. When you study all of the diverse benefits of fitness, and the many ways you can accomplish your goals, you realize that it’s possible for anyone to create a custom fitness program that works for them.

“This operation perfectly fits into our long-term growth strategy,” commented Neil Pryde, Managing Director of the Pryde Group. “Imagine is a well established SUP brand with a strong presence in North America and the best possible partner for us to strengthen our involvement in SUP and other paddle sports.”

Established in 1970, Neil Pryde Ltd. (a.k.a. Pryde Group) began as a sailmaker for yachts. Later, with the windsurfing boom of the 1980’s, the operation expanded into making both sails and boards. Continuing to grow, the Pryde Group has since established itself as one of the most varied and complete companies in the performance sports industry with involvement in windsurfing, kitesurfing, SUP and, most recently, road cycling. With several factories in China and Thailand, the manufacturing capacity and experience of the company is second to none.

Imagine was originally formed in 2002 in Montreal, Canada. The operation moved to San Clemente California in 2010 after securing investment needed to accelerate growth and become a major brand in the SUP industry. Over the course of the last 18 months the working relationship between Imagine Surf and the Pryde Group grew as distribution was taken up by this established and experienced brand internationally.

“I suppose this marriage was inevitable,” said Imagine Surf founder Corran Addison. “The more closely we worked with Pryde Group and the vast distribution network it has, the better things went for us. It made sense to use the Pryde Group’s manufacturing power as well as their sales and distribution network.”

This new relationship will allow Imagine Surf to focus on what the brand does best: designing great boards for this new and exploding market, with manufacturing and sales handled by the Pryde Group divisions in each territory worldwide.

“We’ll have more time now to do what we love to do: go to events, promote the brand and of course, work on new and exciting designs,” continued Corran. “After all, our cutting edge design is what Imagine is famous for, and now we can really take this to the next level.”

None of the faces at Imagine Surf are changing, just the focus and efficiency of the brand which we can expect to continue to innovate and grow in the SUP and paddle sports arena over the next few years.

There are actually two to three features for you to body building ( space ) resistance training, eating habits, and even rest-recovery.

The most famous because of of resistance training cost nothing weights. Its effectiveness is inarguable. For many, this includes me and my friends, it’s easy the most suitable variety of making a request consistent, impressive capacity to resist your own muscles. In addition to being actual.

Stretchy weight rubberbandz are usually not.

Simply because severity is not a consideration, the pressure is close to the muscle tendon complex and not simply a lot of regarding bones and even suspensory ligaments. Various workouts such as leg squats consist of both the severity ( space ) the body ( space ) and the nongravity ( space ) a shortage of some sort of weights on a upper back.

And lastly, just a extensive technique such as Bodylastics commence located at beneath 75 $; which means nothing like expensive free of cost bodyweight programs, stretchy weight rubberbandz are often more when compared to cost-effective.

Also, it could systematically employment your own muscles. And then any technique that might systematically get you to healthier will establish lean muscle, made available you will give food doing it and even rest doing it.

Where’d you learn to standup paddle? I’ve been in the ocean my whole life. I learned how to standup paddle here on Maui when Laird (Hamilton), Dave Kalama and Loch (Eggers) were down at Ho’okipa with their huge standup boards and they let me go out at the point. I remember catching my first wave and being hooked. I was 9 or 10.

What kind of paddling are you doing the most these days? Either downwind or surfing on Maui. This past winter I did a lot of early morning SUP surfing before the wind picked up. I just started training downwind. Maui has the best downwinders. There’s nothing like the feeling of surfing the ocean for 10 miles, nothing like connecting the glides going from swell to swell.

Is there a generation gap in the standup scene there? Yeah, there’s a little gap in the racing here on Maui. It’s mostly women in their 30s. I don’t race against women my age. When it comes to SUP surfing, me, my sister and a good friend, who is like in her late 20s, go a lot. Most of my training is with my dad and his friends, which has been good because they push me to keep up. It’s pretty cool though: I see families paddling together on weekends.

So, you make bikinis? In the summer of 2007, my younger sister Tehani and I started sewing. We grew up at the beach. That requires lots of bikinis and they get expensive. We decided to start making them for ourselves. Our dad encouraged us to start selling them. By the beginning of 2008, Manini Gangini Bikinis was born.

And jewelry too? I started making jewelry at 12. My mom is an amazing artist and she would always try to get my sister and I to paint or do something creative, but we were never really interested. All we wanted to do was be outside running around, or playing in the ocean. Then my sister, Tehani, started playing around with jewelry and she inspired me to try it. Because I have so much energy, jewelry design is a quiet focus time for me. We sell pieces on Maui and call it Pashey Designz

And some of it appeared on the cover of the SI swimsuit issue? I was the youngest designer ever to be featured in the magazine. Bar Refaeli wore one of my cone shell necklaces. I got both the cover and centerfold.

So where does standup fit in for you? I want to get people on the water and see the thrill when they catch their first glide or see a turtle pop up in front of them. And I want girls to know it’s not just a man’s world for standup surfing or racing. We can rip.
