Suzie Cooney’s Book
This is THE SUP training bible. Treat the paddler in your family who is just starting out or who wants to take his or her racing to the next level – whether that’s to the podium or just beating his or her own time. This book covers technique, training on and off land, nutrition and the all-important mental piece. A fantastic gift that really will keep on giving. (Yeah, I said that. So what?)

Olukai Moloa/Nohea Slipper
Soft shearling wraps your tootsies in the the kind of comfort Olukai is known for…so nice to slip into after a cold winter’s session. The slippers are perfect for sliding into after a paddle, walking the dog or running errands. There’s a nice leather sole, and they don’t scream Old Person Slippers so they aren’t relegated to inside duty. They look good enough to wear with jeans. Men’s version is the Moloa, women’s is the Nohea. Find a local Retailer: https://www.olukai.com/locator/

Sup Pocket
If you don’t already have one of these mesh and suction cup “storage bags” for atop your board, what are you waiting for??? They are perfect for training sessions when you need to store nutrition, your phone (in waterproof bag or case) and your flip-flops. They are great for long distances races too. The suction really works on most surfaces and the profile of the bag is slim. Get one. Just do it. Buy it here
Season Five Anything
If there is any risk of rain, or rain and cold temps, Season Five is the bomb. Warm but lightweight, it will keep you comfy whether you paddle SUP or OC. And when the rain starts to fall, you will be mesmerized by the way the water beads off of it and by how fast it dries.
First, buy locally– Shop Finder: http://seasonfive.com/pages/store-locator

Bluesmiths Windpro Kula Hoodie:
Yes, it is pricey. But once you put one of these babies on, you will never, ever, ever want to take it off. Ever. And this is coming from a technical jacket snob. Well-made, hydrophobic, warm…but most of all IT WILL BE THE MOST COMFORTABLE soft-shell jacket you will ever wear. It is like butter. And it still does the job. Wear it alone or use it to layer under a hard-shell jacket.
