Sinossi

"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.

    A must-have book to reap major-league benefits! 
    What’s The Endgame is a guidebook designed to help families navigate youth baseball, written by former All-American outfielder at Kansas State University and professional baseball player Sean Collins, who was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in 1989. 
    This book is packed with over three decades of wisdom to help young ballplayers maximize their baseball dreams and guide parents through the journey, including: 
    ● Insights on the types of levels that are appropriate 
    ● Clearly defining their ballplayer’s role 
    ● Recognizing expectations going into a season 
    ● Principles that have helped ballplayers 
    What's the Endgame provides one-of-a-kind insights on how to pursue a baseball career, whether it’s playing for a major college baseball program or making it to big-league stadiums. 
    A note from Coach Collins: “I wish I had this book in my life when I was pursuing my baseball dreams. I had a lot of success, but there were also many mistakes made because I did not have anyone in my life early on who had the experience and know-how that could help me. That's what What’s the Endgame is designed to be. Readers will be able to define an endgame for their child’s journey from practice to team ball, and much more. Parents will be able to define the ‘why’ of what they are doing.” 
    Readers should look at this book as if they are the hardware and the information in this book is the software—a guidebook to keep handy. Let my years of successes, pain, and suffering be your guide as you help your young ballplayer chase their dreams.
