Siren's "Get On Board" Demo Days:Locals Surf Shop

Our final stop in South Florida was at the radical Locals Surf Shop in Jupiter FL! Jimmy and his wife Katie are local rippers and run a great surf shop with an awesome and knowledgeable staff. Siren started off the weekend with Locals on Saturday night at the Abacoa Town Center in Jupiter for Trik Flix. Trik Flix is a part of the Palm Beach Film Festival's student showcase of film and allows youth 25 years old and younger to submit their extreme sports videos at a chance to win a $10,000 scholarship. Later that night, my friend Mikey DeTemple screened his new longboard movie "Picaresque". Costa Del Mar did a drawing for another pair of awesome polarized "Switchfoot" sunglasses and gave out heaps of free swag! The 9'0 Siren SUP board and Kialoa's new adjustable paddle, the Hinalea, were there on display and attracting quite a crowd!



The next day, everyone met up on a beautiful little beach along the intracoastal waterway to try out Siren Surfboards new Stand Up Paddle line. It was a typically perfect South Florida day, lots of warm sunshine and the water in the intracoastal was especially clear and turquoise. Guys, gals and kids all come out to give the 9'0 and 11'0 Siren a spin and a great time was had by all!


Stay tuned to kristysawesomesurfadventures.blogspot.com for information on upcoming clinics and demos this summer, starting May 29-31 in Austin TX. Please email me if you are interested in joining us for a 3 day clinic and good times on Town Lake in Austin!

Kialoa's New Methane Paddle

I just wanted to give a shout out to Kialoa Paddles for creating such a rad SUP Paddle. I have their new Methane Paddle and it is awesome! Definitely the best paddle I have put in my hands yet. It has an oval shaped shaft that molds to your hands perfectly, the T shaped handle is super functional and has a smaller 8 inch wide blade. For all you ladies out there listen up! This is a great paddle for us! Being a woman paddler who rides a smaller SUP board (I am 5'3 and 130 pounds) I have found that the Methane takes much less energy to move through the water because of the smaller blade but still provides that quick momentum when you need it with the least amount of effort. All the elements you need in a paddle for the surf as well!


Did I mention it just feels like "butta" in your hands? When you put this paddle in your hands, you will not want to let it go. It makes paddling just that much better and if you have not had the chance to pick up a Kialoa paddle yet, do it soon! You can find your local dealer by visiting www.kialoa.com

Stand Up Paddling on a Waveless Day....

It's hard not to answer the call when winter weather pushing 80 degrees lures you outside. Sunshine coupled with a serious lack of swell leaves one option: stand up paddling. Here are a few shots from last weeks run of Santa Ana....
