The problem is learning how to participate in life instead of competing through life.

Thanks, and i agree. But it was decades of open water swimming that destroyed my shoulder.

SUP General / Shoulder issues/Paddle Craft Type
« on: October 07, 2018, 12:12:13 PM »
Quick survey. I am a 57 year old female paddler. I  like to compete locally in shorter races. I live on a tidal small river in SW Florida. Had rotator cuff surgery 3 weeks ago and soon to have knee imaging for a torn cartilage. I have racing 12’6 and 14. What craft do you think is easiest on shoulders/older bodies?
Paddleboard?
OC 1?
Surf ski?
Launching canoe would be more difficult because of my dock.
Thoughts?

SUP General / Need Rack Advice
« on: November 29, 2017, 02:08:49 PM »
It’s time to organize my toys so I can get more toys. So far I have two 12’6” race boards, one Sup Surf, one Sunfish and one Kayak. Don’t tell my husband but that am thinking of getting a 14 to keep up with the boys( ok old men but whatever). I have one half of the two car garage to work with. So....should I put in a wall rack or fabricate something on casters? Any suggestions on spacing of levels? Anyone have plans they want to share or better yet come build it for a free Florida vacation.

Gear Talk / Zaveral /QB paddle comparisons

I was delivering a paddle for a friend and was amazed at how similar these two paddles are. QB V drive and Zaveral.

Too bad my Bark Vapor Ghost isn't a 14. It would be the perfect board.

My 12'6" Bark Vapor Ghost is 25 on the nose, one of the first 2017 produced. A friend bought one a couple months later and hers is 22.5 pounds. I almost didn't accept the board on delivery because I was expecting a 20 pound board. I'm glad I did though because it is a great board for the gulf when it gets choppy and the weight only seems to bother me when I am carrying it around. Oh but how I do wish it was lighter md had more durable paint.

So my watch came today. My brain hurts from trying to figure it out. I can't really see the face well  but I am indoors and haven't actually used it out doors. The SUP feature seems fine it you can see it when paddling. More to come.

Do you need a computer to synchronize? I don't use one.

Any thoughts in whether buying refurbished is safe?

Gear Talk / GPS Watch
« on: March 09, 2017, 02:49:03 AM »
I use a Speedcoach. It is the older nonprogrammable model. I have a heart monitor but rarely use it. I keep the unit at the bow which I like because I can see it without looking down.  I don't like having to stop and crawl on my belly every time I want to stop it for an interval so I was thinking of supplementing with a GPS watch. I've never owned one. I DON'T want a fitness tracker or HR monitor. I DO want something simple with big numbers so OLD eyes can read. I'm thinking less features and functions, maybe an older model that a mature mind can easily operate.
Garmin 910 keeps popping up. As far as cost goes, I was hoping to slip it into my PayPal account without my husband notice so prolly under 250. Any opinions?
