Blowfish to visit the Antarctic!
Blowfish ambassador and all around action women Helen Ahern is going to be taking her blowfish down to the Antarctic this summer for a bit of chilly paddling...if there was ever motivation not to fall in Id say icy water, hungry polar bears and frostbite would be right at the top of the list! We'll keep you up to date with Helens amazing journey! Pictured below is helen is taking the blowfish for a paddle down the Waikato River near Taupo.

The importance of the right pressure on an inflatable
You ever drive a car with flat tyres? If you're not pumping your board up enough your probably going to get a simlar lack of performance from your inflatable. There are a few variables we've found, for example cold water make the pressure drop a fraction, and if it's really hot the pressure tends to get a bit higher. Regardless of the these the number we've found to work the best is around 15psi, if you're a smaller person you can maybe get away with 12-13 but any lower is really not going to give you the best performance from your board.

Taupo river paddle on today
Heading down to Taupo today with a crew to do a river paddle on the inflatables. Im going to drop everyone at the control gates in town, they're then going to cruise down to the bottom of Spa Park for a hot swim on the side of the river and then (if they can get themselves out of the hot water!) head down to Reids Farm to have a go in the rapids. Bruce Webber's also taking a crew down as well and has kindly offered to shuttle us back up to town for more runs... how good are these kayak guys!

Blowfish rips in the wee stuff!
Had a great play in some tiny surf this morning, the blowfish caught the tiniest bumps and just kept on going.

Headed out for an earlyish paddle this morning with Glenn and the crew from Assault. Beautiful morning, flat water and great company. If this is winter bring it on!
