Maliko Gulch is very exciting and a huge goal for some who travel from around the world to experience the 9 mile paddle on the N. Shore. However, with the popularity of SUP I feel compelled to write about how only the real experienced should venture down. Read more about what to know and how to be safe so your first experience is a good one. A hui’ ho! See you on the water!

Building Your Dynamic Core For Stronger Stand Up Paddling with Suzie Cooney

As a pro team SUP rider for Naish International and fan of the TRX Rip Trainer, I’ve combined here the basics of core training to anyone but specifically for SUP or stand up paddling. The exercises here do require one to already have some experience knowing how to activate and engage the core. These are excellent and challenging. SUP can require explosive paddling at times. Hope you enjoy! Suzie Cooney, CPT of Suzie Trains Maui
