road trippin'<br />
“sometimes the most scenic<br />
roads in life are the detours<br />
you didn't mean to take.”<br />
The Key to enjoying the sports you love are to:<br />
1. Progress and Improve 2. Engage and Understand,<br />
and 3. Wherever possible, make it your life. Be it Surf,<br />
Snow, Skate or Bike, if you can ever incorporate these<br />
activities into a ‘Roadie’, you will usually have the time<br />
of your life. Be it with your family, friends, you and your<br />
partner, or a combination of all of these … a wagon full<br />
of gear, toys included, and a few essential ‘bits and<br />
pieces’ to make the whole equation work, will make<br />
your trip away, a time to remember.<br />
Here are a few products that NZSHRED stock, that<br />
you might want to throw in the wagon before you<br />
head away:<br />
1: take that smell away<br />
As anyone who’s ever been holed<br />
up in wagon full of folks, post or pre<br />
activity, there is usually a plethora<br />
of smells to entertain the nostrils.<br />
To bring things back to a workable<br />
medium, a Sexwax Airfreshener<br />
hanging from the rear vision mirror can<br />
adequately mask the invasive scent of<br />
snowboard boots or a wet wettie.<br />
2: see where you’re going<br />
There are a lot of good sunnies out there, and Electric<br />
is the newest in the NZShred stables. You just can’t go<br />
past the Wingman or the Knoxville<br />
to shield your eyes from that early<br />
morning or sunset glare.<br />
3: know your gear is all<br />
secure<br />
There is nothing more secure<br />
than that feeling your kit is all<br />
safe and sound. Be it a DAKine<br />
Low Roller bag for snow<br />
or an Ocean & Earth Barry<br />
Basic surf bag for your board -<br />
- be comfortable knowing the bag<br />
around your prized snowboard or<br />
surfboard has it comfortably housed<br />
and protected. It means you’ll enjoy yourself and<br />
know you will be able to do this all again.<br />
4: something, if nothing is happening<br />
In the old days, folks had a<br />
‘pack of cards’, modern days<br />
are ‘an app’ or something of the<br />
like … to be fair, there is nothing<br />
better than a choice book to<br />
read, digest or peruse. A couple<br />
of options to have for flicking<br />
through, are: ‘Cabin Porn’ -<br />
Klein & Leckart, ‘Confessions<br />
of an Eco Warrior’ - Dave<br />
Foreman or ‘Let My People<br />
Go Surfing’ - Yvon Chouinard<br />
