Water Sports can be so much fun!
, 12 22nd, 2008
After water skiing for many years I finally tried wakeboarding. I could not believe how different it was and how much fun I had. I thought that I had done every water sport that would interest me until I tried this. It was truely a challenge and it brought out the competitive side of me to master the wakeboard.
This Body Glove wakeboard is designed with fiberglass reinforced for a stiffer ride. 6 removable fins allows the rider to customize their ride from tight and true, to loose and fun. Hold-Um bindings have 3 point adjustment system with 1 inch foam foot bed and high density EVA heel inserts for softer landings. Binding fits shoe sizes 5-12. 139cm long. Wakeboards are fun for the people who are trying to get the most out of their boating trip.
Stay Green, Even When Boating

Being green is very important today. We all have to do our part to make our planet a better place. When you are out on the water in your boat you can do your part by using solar panels to charge cell phone, laptop computer and DVD players.
Most of them are weatherproof so you can charge your boat battery while you are on the water you can also keep you personal water craft charge in the winter. They come in a variety of sizes and watts with a very portable one to carry onto your boat.
Keep your MP3 player on the boat!

Boating is the type of sport that people spend alot of time doing. Most boaters use up an free time to take the boat out and cannot wait for the weekends. There are so many activities that can be done on a boat, which keeps the sport exciting and entertaining.
It is important to have the luxuries that you normally have on land with you on the boat. Freestyle Audio has a waterproof MP3 player that is submergible up to 10 feet and comes with waterproof earbuds.
Watch TV on your boat
, 12 08th, 2008
While we were out boating we found that we miss some of the comforts of our living room. Namely the TV! Luckily we found a solution.
The Jensen 15″ LCD TV w/stand is a great item for boating and camping. If we have a event on TV that we just can’t miss, the Jensen LCD TV is the answer for us. This TV is HD ready and has a wireless remote and table top stand, be the first boater floating around watching your favorite event on the 16:9 high performance widescreen format.
Holiday Gifts for Winter Months
, 12 04th, 2008
When you’re purchasing holiday gifts for your family or friends, it’s good to consider that they’ll be using those gifts in the winter months. Thus, a more seasonal gift will be a sure delight for most people on your list. Here are a few fun, winter inspired, gift ideas:
~Sledding/Sliding Equipment – whether it’s on the slopes, or down the little hill at the park, toys like inflatable tubes, skis, snowboards, and sleds are a great way to celebrate the snowy season.
~Winter Clothing – jackets, scarves, earmuffs, and gloves… these articles of clothing are essential for winter weather and all those fun outdoor activities.
~Gourmet Coffee – for warming up on a cold morning or when coming in from the outdoors, a hot cup of coffee never goes unappreciated.
Inflatables all year round!
, 12 04th, 2008
Some of those same inflatable water toys you use for fun in the water during the summer can be used in the winter for sliding down snowy slopes. Though you want to avoid using inflatables like water mattresses and those made of thin plastic, most inner tubes made of rubber or durable plastic are just fine for the snow. In addition, the special inner tubes that are pulled behind watercraft make excellent snow toys. Ensure to refill inflatable toys that were used during the summer if you’re using them again in the winter. The most common reason for a hole or rupture to form is from an inflatable that isn’t quite full on air.
You might also have to refill your snow inflatables during or after a ride down the slopes; with more pressure on the inflatable, more air is liable to escape through the filling hole.
Rough Seas
, 12 03rd, 2008
While boating over the last weekend I was amazed at how many boats do not have Trim Tabs, I can tell the boats that do not have Trim Tabs as it takes them a long time to get on plane and their ride is not as smooth as it should be.
Boating should be a fun experience both for the driver and the participants. Having a smooth ride in a boat will make it more enjoyable. No one likes to get sea sick! Make sure that you are using Bennet Trim Tabs so that you can enjoy your boating experience.
Don’t get Wet!
, 12 02nd, 2008
Anyone who spends time on the water knows how important it is to keep your valuables dry. Your valuables can be your camera, cell phone, your matches, your money or a wallet. The best thing that I have found is to use a product that will keep things dry for you.
Dry Pack Storage is a must when on the water or near the water as you do not want to loose any valuables to water damage, you never know when you are going to get wet so make sure you are using Dry Pack Storage.
