2019 Wish List for Christmas

10. Kanulocks

Product Details:
Keep you boards sage from the Grinch with these strong, durable, reinforced stainless steel straps from Kanulock. Comes with the ability to lock your boards on your car to keep them safe outside. Included with the package is a set of keys unique to your straps.

Our Review:
These straps are great for the paddler who is lazy…oh what, no, I mean, too busy to take their boards off their racks as soon as they get home. Or if they’re the type to grab some lunch after a long paddle. With the added feature of reinforced stainless steel straps and the ability to key lock the release mechanisms, these straps are sure to keep the avid paddler’s boards safe for extended periods of time on their racks. The straps themselves are durable and soft- ensuring that no damage will come to the board if pulled down tightly. Comes in 11′ and 13′ sizes! Highly recommended from the Walk on Water team!

9. M-16 Onyx Inflatable Belt Pack

Product Details:
Unique design keeps stand-up paddle boarders, anglers, boaters, and other paddlers safe without compromising movement! 16 gram CO2 charge provides 17 lbs. of buoyancy- the oral inflation tube can also be used to provide additional buoyancy up to 26.5 lbs when fully inflated. Extremely low profile. 

Our Review:
The team at Walk on Water have been avid racers for years. And as such, we’ve tried every inflatable belt pack on the market. While most suffice in that they will keep you floating in case of an emergency, the Onyx offers something the others do not- comfort. The sleek, small, and almost weightlessness of it really allows the racer and cruiser to feel comfortable while knowing there is something to inflate if the need should arise. The only downfall in the Onyx’s flotation device is a bit smaller than other brands. However, it does inflate up to 26.5 lbs of buoyancy which is more than sufficient in keeping you afloat even in the toughest conditions. And at $89.99 the price sets it apart as well!

8. Kore Dry Covers

Product Details:
One-sided board cover to reduce overheating and sun exposure. Made from Koredry lycra material for great durability. Over 30 degrees cooler vs. uncovered boards. Slips on in ten seconds. 4-way stretch to 1.5 ft. Fits in a backpack. Great for transportation on cars. Reduces discoloration and made in the USA.

Our Review:
If you’re looking for a quicker and easier way to cover your board after getting out of the water- this is the cover for you! While board bags have their purpose, and a little extra padding to go along with it, the Kore Dry cover offers convenience, flexibility, and the added benefit of keeping your board cool in the hot summer sun! Which, if anyone has done that knows, the dreaded de-lamination tends to pop up on a salty board in humid temps. Also, these make great travel buddies if you’re going to be storing your board on your racks for an extended period. Trust us, they have been tested to their limits in Costa Rica of last year. Our boards wouldn’t have made it without one!

7. Rinse Kit

Product Details:
With no pumping and no batteries, Rinse Kit delivers a pressurized spray for up to three minutes. Rinse Kit stores the strength of a regular household spigot or sink (with adapter) and can be quickly filled with hot or col water. Rinse Kit’s patented design features the eon pressure system that holds up to 2 gallons of water with a spray nozzle that offers seven different settings from jet stream to soaking shower. 

Our Review:
Surfing Assateague is fun. Surfing Assateague in winter is still very fun. Surfing Assateague with no showers after an awesome salty session is slightly less fun. But that’s okay! Because the Rinse Kit now solves that problem. Fill it with some hot water, leave it in your vehicle and when it is time to get going with the rest of your day, you now have a portable shower to get the sand and salt off of your body from the convenience of the parking lot. Added bonus- the ability to wash your board off for clean storage and no tracking sand back into your house. For those who love winter surfing- the Rinse Kit is for you!

6. Speed Coach SUP 2 with Training Pack and Heart Rate Monitor

Our Review:
The Speed Coach SUP 2 (NEW!) with training pack and heart rate monitor is a must have for any avid paddle board racer. Unlike other GPS units this one tracks your strokes per minute, which is an amazing piece of information when testing out new gear- such as paddles or boards. The team at Walk on Water have personally owned and tested ALL of the features on the Speed Coach SUP 2 (NEW!) and we all feel comfortable when saying- we highly recommend it in order to get faster on the water!

5. Paddle Upgrade

Gain a softer feel without sacrificing all your blade size. Note their unique 12 degree shaft to blade offset. A dihedral blade face makes it stable and consistent for all strokes.

Our Review:
If you’re looking for a lightweight paddle that’s good for a race and for surf, then the Werner Grand Prix paddle is hard to beat. Featuring a unique blade shape designed for a quick release in and out the water and slightly flexible shaft to help decrease the wear and tear on your shoulders makes the Werner both comfortable and fast. Werner only makes paddles so they know what they’re doing!! As evidenced by the Grand Prix.

Our Review:
If you are inspired by stand up paddle board racing or know someone looking to start racing or just interested in participating in a celebration of the paddling lifestyle -then this event is for YOU! ​ We at Walk on Water believe it isn’t so much about who wins or who loses- rather, it’s about bringing people together to experience a beautiful outdoor activity, share in the struggle and triumph of the course, and the feeling of exaltation once you and your fellow racers cross the finish line. It is very much a shared experience, blurring the lines between age and skill level. Ask any racer and they will tell you it is the welcoming atmosphere surrounding Return to Goat Island Race which becomes imprinted on their minds! Be sure to contact the shop for further details!
