Sports Men

Imagine a team full of guys who just barely compete in their Sunday League. These are guys that like football, but they won’t be confused with the English national team anytime soon. Now imagine someone told you that this team went up against a bunch of English legends in a big time game. Your reaction, if you are being honest with yourself, would be to expect this team to get crushed. That is not what happened in the Nivea Great Football Experiment, though. Nivea was involved in this experiment and the company made all the difference, giving one group the legitimate chance to compete.

This Great Football Experiment was pretty simple in all actuality. It was an experiment that was designed to see just how powerful the right preparation actually can be. Nivea took a bunch of applications from Sunday League teams across Europe. Though it was difficult to narrow things down, Nivea eventually settled on Ivory, F.C., a club that came out of Essex. This club started off without many expectations, but Nivea stepped in to provide the type of resources and the type of preparation necessary to absolutely transform the team into something worth respecting.

Nivea set up Ivory, F.C. with some great coaches to begin with. The company knows that without the right preparation, no team and no business can run properly. This is why Ray Wilkins and Terry Venables were so important to the process. Those two men stepped in to provide a tremendous amount of support for the team. The two coaches were instrumental in preparing the team both physically and mentally. They transformed Ivory into a team that could actually compete with the best in the game. At the end of it all, Ivory was put up against a team of legends, meaning that they got a chance to prove their worth.

In the end, this experiment came out a good one. Ivory took down the bunch of English football legends by a score of two to one, taking a close match with their good skills and newfound physical stamina. There was truly no substitute for Nivea in this experiment.

Let’s first establish what defines “surfing.” It is a surface water sport in which the surfer rides a board on the crest of a wave in the direction of the shoreline. Unless you are properly prepared for this ultimate recreational activity, take caution when attempting to surf. Surfing, a Polynesian tradition, has been recognized for centuries. Its origin dates back to 1767 in Tahiti. Over the years, the thrill of surfing has become widespread worldwide. Stores like Oakley and PacSun have jumped on the wave to provide surfing gear and necessities you can’t live without.

Equipment

Equipment is key to surfing success. Stand-up surfing can be longboarding or shortboarding. The decision of which works best for you is determined by board length and your riding style.

To comfortably survive the year round climate and water temperature changes, a neoprene wetsuit is your best defense, most commonly found in basic black. When braving cold water, a full suit of 6 mm thickness is irreplaceable. Once the water temperature is in the mid 60′s, you can use a spring suit of lighter weight. Warmer water temperatures, above the 60′s, only require wetsuit pieces for your personal comfort, a top, a vest or shorts. Continue reading ‘Tips for Surfing All Year Round’ »
