Surfing Redefined

In the June 2004 issue of LongBoard Magazine longboarder Joey Hawkins tells his story about the unfortunate injuries he suffered after winning the world championship in 1992 and how the complications not only nearly ended his surfing career but almost took his life. Fortunately for Joey, he recovered from his ailments and is back surfing again,

We contacted Joey because we felt PaddleAir would help him enjoy surfing more. A meeting was arranged, and Joey agreed to give PaddleAir a try.

He immediately discovered how comfortable and relaxing the PaddleAir system made him feel.

When I am surfing a point break or spots with a long paddle out, the PaddleAir really helps. The air chamber under your chest helps you to relax your lower back muscles. I would recommend it for anyone who has problems like me, but it would work for anyone who wants stay out a little longer and shred a few more. Joey gave PaddleAir a try maybe you should too.
