Paddle Air


I have finally come to grips with the fact that I'm not a kid anymore. Surfing tends to keep you young. ( at least mentally)

I really try to keep fit. And do for the most part.

But, in the last few years I have noticed a decline. Just kept getting harder to push off and jump up.

So I tried lots of stuff: Yoga ( still do) Advil, energy drinks, heavy stretching, longer thicker wider boards. Still just going down hill.


Until I got paddle air.

Really helps me get in full sessions. Stronger paddle, easier to pop up.

Yep means gray people will be in the line up longer.

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

Thanks for the review. Alas, i am in the same boat. Coincidentally, I was thinking about the Paddle Air this weekend. This might inspire me to get one.

I might get the female version so I can keep myself occupied on flat days.

Just joking, that's actually a pretty cool idea.

I was right.

lol

Well truth be told there are some potential draw backs. If you blow it up as much as possible you will have man boobs.

Duck diving is somewhat problematic.

I'll take the drawbacks to get the wave count.

If nothing else you'll look like a surfer in a big wave contest.

Replace turf grass with native plants that don't need irrigation and synthetic fertilizers or chemicals that can go into our waterways and ocean

The blow-up thing looks hokey to me, I don't quite get the point, but that padded Rib Rocket could save me some pain.

I don't undestand how this vest helps with you popping up. Did you add a leaf spring or something

 

Raises your chest up from the board. ( an inch or more depending on how much it is inflated )

Its like a balloon across your chest. Its kind of like a soft rubber ball bounce.

May not be for everyone. Sure as ship works for me. I'm talking about the one that inflates, not the rib pad.

I think there are some vids in the link. You can call the developers and they will explain also. Been around awhile. They have sold many of these. They continue to refine the design.

I bought mine after going to Old Man's and seeing some people with them and talking to them about it.

so it raises the chest an inch or so off the board and its making a big diff?  

dont do enegry drinks youll blow youre heart out.

I bought one for a sore xyphoid about a year ago and has worked well for me.  Held up much better than expected also.

my friend hurt his ribs and was out of the water over a year! we got him one and he's back!! love's it!

 

ok as a cheaper test I will attch a rubber ducky over my chest next time to see if 5" will help my popups greatly.   

Could you post a link so I can order one of those?

thanks
