Easy Rider is offering Free Storage of your new board until spring!
Since we are deep in the time of frozen water – I figured I would offer up Free storage of any new stand up boards that are purchased between January 1, 2010 and March 31, 2010.
This way you can get the board you want and not have to worry about where to store it until the ice melts.
Call or stop by the Easy Rider for more information and to check out all the new 2010 boards in stock.

Easy Rider is proud to announce the addition of Jimmy Lewis SUP boards to its line up.
Jimmy Lewis has been shaping surf boards since 1968, sailboards since 1978 and Kiteboards since the mid 1990’s.
Jimmy has found his new passion – Stand Up Paddling.
While several of his models are designed for the surf, he is also focusing on flat water and race board designs.
Easy Rider has already received several of the new boards and they are already in the store.

SInce the water around Edmonton is now solid, I thought I would share a couple of sessions from last summer.
I managed to paddle in the fountains of City Hall and the Provincial Legislature.
Although I had many strange looks and comments – mostly from security guards – no arrests were made!

Here are a few shots I took with a Go Pro camera.
It was a “nice” day for northern Alberta in mid November so I figured I would do a bit of a “downwinder”.
Air temp was about -2 celsius with the wind chill and the water was right around zero.
The camera worked great.
You can set them to take a photo every 2 or 5 seconds, or it can shoot video.
It takes a 2 GB card and that will get you either about 700 photos or just under an hour of video.
It is amazing that so many cool features can be packed into such a small case.
They are waterproof to 100 feet and you can get a ton of different mounting kits for them.
The brand new Go Pro HD cameras have just hit the store as well. They are just over $100. more than the regular ones and they shoot up to 1080p. The HD version will also shoot video at 60 frames per second – so you can do full slow motion!
Stop by the shop and check them out – just in time for Christmas.

I took what will most likely be my final outdoor paddle for the season yesterday.
Air temp was -11 Celsius and the water temp was below 0.
It was a really fun paddle – but the ice flows are getting really thick – up to a foot of solid ice.
I can no longer smash through them and spent a lot of time slaloming around them looking for a way through to open water.
The other limiting factor is the weight of the board – after a 45 minute paddle it ended up being about 50 lbs from all of the ice that formed on the deck.
Just figured I would share the stoke!

Vik, a new SUP customer of Easy Rider has headed south for the winter – making it all the way down to La Ventana, Mexico.
He sent a few photos for us Canucks to be jealous over.
Looks warm!
