Decks in Kodacolor

 

 

Girl Skateboards has had a long history of photography collaborations given its heritage. Photographer and director Spike Jonze is one of the co-founders of the company. Their most recent partnership is Girl x Kodak where they found their inspiration in those iconic 35mm Kodak film canisters

Kodachrome color reversal film was introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1935, and was one of the first successful color films used for both cinematography and still photography. It’s rich warm tones, notable in the reds and yellows, were distinctive from its cool toned counterpart Ektachrome.  So evocative were the images created, the film was canonized in a song by Paul Simon called Kodachrome.

A River Runs Through It

 

HYDROW

The latest entry into the burgeoning world of high-end home fitness is the Hydrow – a rowing machine meets Peloton concept that is unlike any indoor rower you’ve ever seen. This sculptural work of art features a sleek HD touchscreen monitor that delivers an immersive outdoor rowing experience at home.

Home fitness equipment is no longer related to the basement or closet with the evolution of machines so beautifully designed they become the focal part of a room. First there was Ciclotte that redefined the indoor bicycle with its striking and unconventional design. Then came Peloton, a SoulCycle-inspired indoor cycle, that was the first to integrate a sleek, oversized tablet-like monitor to stream both live and on-demand spinning classes at home. Coming soon is the Peloton Tread, the same concept on a treadmill, as well as Tonal that expands interactive home fitness to weight lifting, and Mirror that streams yoga, Pilates, barre, cardio, and strength workouts. Both of these turn the wall mounted monitor into an object of desire.
 

CICLOTTE, MIRROR, AND PELOTON TREAD

Launching nationally for pre-order on October 2nd, Hydrow takes home fitness to the next level with an indoor rower that brings the outdoors in. Hydrow offers over 100 rowing workouts, both live and on demand, from the waters of such rivers as the Charles in Boston, the Hudson in NYC, and the Miami River. Founded by CEO and US National team coach Bruce Smith, Hydrow instructors are all elite level athletes that include three-time World Rowing Championship silver medalist, Danielle Hansen. Hydrow delivers an on-river outdoor rowing experience that engages two times more of the body’s muscles than biking or running. A 20-minute workout on the Hydrow burns over 400 calories compared to 40 minutes on bike.

Water World

From the laps in the pool, to aqua running, to open water swimming…

we’ve got all the cool gear you’ll love to keep wet workouts fun.

C’mon and jump in!

 
I have not had my typical sporty summer of running, stand up paddleboarding, surfing, and cycling. I’ve had a stress fracture in my foot that has kept me from many of the sports I usually enjoy. The good news is it has opened up all sorts of new sports — all in the water!

Swimming truly is the sport of a lifetime. Non weight-bearing, it allows you to do the cardio, strength, and endurance workouts that injury or age prevents. I’ve seen that first hand with my new silver haired fitness tribe in the Deep Water Running class at Alphalt Green, where I’ve gotten a preview of my workouts at 80! It’s become my Soul Cycle replacement for the summer giving me that group exercise motivation and comradery I love.

Then there has been the solitary and meditative discipline of swimming — open water in particular. I’ve always been a pool swimmer, but this summer I’ve conquered my fear of what lies beneath in murky water with an experienced training partner, and discovered the goal achieving satisfaction of swimming to a destination – like a long distance run!

Surf Tesla

 

LIMTED EDITION TESLA SURFBOARD

For those who have dreamed of owning a Tesla – a surfboard that is – here it is! Available today is the new Limited Edition Tesla Surfboard, designed in collaboration with Lost Surfboards and famed surfboard shaper Matt “Mayhem” Biolos.

Constructed from a lightweight “Black Dart” carbon fiber, the Tesla Surfboard features a mix of the same high-quality matte and gloss finishes used on Tesla cars. Along with tonal logos in a subtle contrast gloss, Tesla red coats the underside of the board. Measuring 6’8”, the board is designed to fit the Tesla Model S, X, and 3, accommodating it comfortably on the inside or outside of the vehicle.

Each surfboard will be custom made to order, and only 200 are being produced. Priced affordably at $1500, unfortunately you’ll need to keep dreaming about owning that Tesla. Not surprisingly, the edition is already sold out.
