Synopsis

"Paddleboard Trends" offers a fascinating journey through the evolution of paddleboarding, from its ancient Polynesian origins as "hoe he'e nalu" to its current status as a booming global water sport. The book expertly weaves together historical evidence, cultural significance, and modern developments to showcase how this traditional mode of transportation transformed into a versatile recreational activity embraced by millions worldwide.

 
The narrative unfolds across three distinct phases, beginning with paddleboarding's indigenous Hawaiian roots in fishing and warfare, through its mid-20th century revival in surf culture, to its contemporary explosion as a multi-faceted sport. Readers discover how ancient paddling techniques and board designs continue to influence modern practices, while learning about the sport's remarkable adaptability across various water environments, from ocean surf to calm lakes.

 
The book presents compelling data on the sport's growth, including industry statistics and participation rates, while exploring its expansion into diverse disciplines such as racing, yoga, and fitness training. What sets this comprehensive exploration apart is its balanced approach to both practical and academic aspects of paddleboarding. While providing essential information on technique development and safety protocols, it also delves into marine engineering studies, sports science data, and environmental conservation aspects. The author skillfully combines technical detail with accessible explanations, making it valuable for both newcomers and experienced practitioners interested in understanding the sport's cultural significance and future trajectory.

    Sports vision is an often-overlooked area that can be leveraged for improved performance. Most athletes invest in equipment and training without ever thinking about their vision. 
    Many scientific studies have highlighted the relationship between vision and on-field performance, and most professional sports teams employ a sports vision specialist to ensure all team members have optimal vision and visual function for success. 
    This audiobook, written by one of the premier sports vision specialists, details the knowledge gained over a 30+ year career working with Professional Athletes from all major sports from Premier League football to Olympic athletes, as well as almost every Professional league in the USA. 
    Beginning with a detailed review of how and why vision is important in sports, the book takes the reader on a journey through the vision system, identifying the areas critical to performance. 
    This audiobook spotlights the different areas that impact sports performance. From basic visual abilities (spoiler alert: 20/20 vision is not normal for an elite athlete and is rarely enough for optimal performance) to how the brain uses vision to make a decision and then how an athlete uses vision to make a perfectly executed motor action.

    The classic guide to living amid wild, unspoiled nature by a legendary outdoorsman and an experienced survivalist.     A longtime Army colonel, Townsend Whelen later became renowned for his passion for wilderness exploration and his skills as a rifleman. Bradford Angier, inspired by Henry David Thoreau and possessing the same adventurous spirit, advocated for back-to-the-land living and wrote extensively on outdoor survival skills. In this book, they collaborate to offer a guide to discovering the inexpressible thrill of primitive country, the workshop of nature, and the appreciation of wilderness technique.    Unspoiled regions possess a quiet beauty and peace—no artificiality, no crowds, all woods uncut. There is unbounded satisfaction and pleasure in successfully meeting the challenge of the wilderness. Colonel Townsend Whelen and Bradford Angier have combined their vast experiences camping and bivouacking to produce the perfect guide to peace and utter freedom. If the wilderness calls you, they invite you to join them and talk about how to live in it. They explain what from their experience they found to be the best ways of entering wild and unspoiled country, of finding their way through it with the right knowledge and equipment, and of living there in comfort and safety. On Your Own in the Wilderness is their explicit direction on how to escape to an earthly paradise.
