Increase Shoulder Flexibility With This Effective Paddle Stretch
By: Nikki Gregg, CPT   
Stand up paddle fitness expert, Nikki Gregg, shares an excellent stand up paddle shoulder stretching technique.
 

This shoulder and chest stretch has become one of my favorites, especially after a long paddle session.  Over time, this exercise will help increase shoulder flexibility and may help alleviate shoulder pain.

 

1.     First, take a wide and loose overhand grip on the shaft of your paddle.  Let the paddle rest against the front of your legs.

 

2.     Next, inhale and raise the paddle up and over your head while maintaining completely straight arms.  The key to this exercise is to keep your arms straight.

 

3.     Bring the paddle all the way down behind your back again maintaining the straight-arm position.  Your chest will be facing outward and shoulders pulled back.

 

4.     Last, exhale and lift the paddle back over your head and down in front of your body to the starting position.  This counts as one repetition.

 

**If you find it challenging to execute this movement then try loosening your grip on the paddle’s shaft and widen your grip spacing between hands.  Remember to keep your arms straight.

 

**Perform two sets of 10-12 repetitions, slowly working up to sets of 25-30.  Over time, after you have gained enough shoulder flexibility and are able to move your grip closer on the paddle, you can perform up to 50 repetitions at time.

 

**Perform this exercise in a slow tempo and in a controlled manner.  Please be careful with this one and only do what is comfortable.

Dog Jam Stand Up Paddle Event for Dogs
By: Neil Pearlberg   
As the owner of Rusty, a 5-year-old Australian Shepherd who's ridden surfboards and paddle boards since he was a puppy, I started thinking about holding a surf contest for dogs in Santa Cruz.

People often say, "I want to do that with my dog," when they see Rusty in the lineup.

What better way for them to try it out than to participate in an event?

Though I'd heard of other surf contests with dogs, the idea really started to stake shape one evening while I was watching the Westminster dog show on television. A dog show on flat water rather than a surf contest sounded like it could be entertaining and also much safer.

This unique canine event will take place Aug. 21 at the Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor from 9 a.m. to noon.

I'm calling the DogJam the world's first dog show on water.

Mitchell, Duncan-Seraphin, Kalama, and Moller Take Molokai-2-Oahu Paddleboard and SUP Honors
By: Jodi Wilmott   
HONOLULU -- Australian Jamie Mitchell, 33, claimed an unprecedented ninth Molokai-2-Oahu World Paddleboard title in Hawaii today, completing the 32-mile distance just four minutes outside of his own record in a time of 4 hours, 52 minutes and 45 seconds. His record of 4:48:23, set in 2007, stands for another year. Mitchell attributed today's convincing win to experience in Hawaiian waters that allowed him to overcome an uncooperative ocean of disorganized swells. And if Mitchell is the 'King of Paddleboard', then Hawaii's Kanesa Duncan-Seraphin, 34, is the 'Queen', claiming her 8th Molokai-2-Oahu title in a time of 6:02:45 - less than 10 minutes shy of the record she set in 2004.

In the men's division, it was 1-2-3 for Australia with Jackson English, (5:07:54) in second, and Joel Mason (5:15:42) in third. Fourth-placed Mikey Cote was the top placing Hawaii paddler (5:15:42). Beyond the finish line, Mitchell and English were paddling today to raise funds for SurfAid International. Their impressive 1-2 finish will likely see them surpass their $10,000 target.
