THE BLUE GYM - LEADERS NOT FOLLOWERS

Around the world, there is a growing outdoor fitness trend, giving rise to the creation of an ever-expanding number of fitness studios. To support this latest fitness development of working out in nature in the fresh air, Mistral created the perfect on water fitness solution. The Mistral Kailua Fitness SUP board, offers a totally new experience for full-body workouts in exciting surroundings, whether on the ocean, lake or river. 

MANY CENTRES AROUND THE WORLD, ALSO USE THEIR KAILUA BOARDS FOR GENERAL PADDLING AND INDEED AS AN ENTRY LEVEL, FIRST TIME BOARD, THE KAILUA IS AN EXCELLENT, STABLE PLATFORM. WHEN YOU FACTOR THIS IN, YOU REALISE THAT HERE IS A BOARD WHICH FORMS TWO FUNCTIONS; THAT OF AN EXERCISE PLATFORM, WHETHER FOR YOGA OR FOR MORE INTENSE WORKOUTS USING ISOMETRICS OR PLYOMETRICS OR FOR PADDLING. THE KAILUA IS NOT ONLY PRACTICAL, IT’S RUGGED AND CAN WITH STAND HARD USE AS EXPECTED FROM SCHOOLS OR FROM INDIVIDUAL USE. 

SUP yoga can be practiced on the Mistral Kailua fit 11’5” SUP board perfectly in the most serene of settings, whether on an ocean bay or lagoon, a glassy lake or a slow-moving river. the kailua fit boards are exceptionally stable floating platforms and water-loving yogis, will embrace SUP yoga out on the water as a practice that brings a sense of joyful freedom to an otherwise earth-bound yoga practice.

Practicing yoga on a surface that is constantly in motion, fires up your core muscles and strengthens muscles that aren’t used in everyday practice.

You can feel the tiny muscles being activated when practicing on the water, which you don’t experience on land.

It is also fine (and even fun) if you lose your balance and fall overboard. Falling is part of the experience and there is freedom in fully embracing the experience. you let go of your expectations and judgment, which is what yoga is all about, getting out of the mind and into your heart centre. It is also a metaphor for our lives. We can experience a fall physically, mentally, or emotionally and we get back up and try again. 

The compact, balanced design of the Kailua board, will suit both lighter and heavier paddlers who want to combine pure stand up paddling fun with fitness workouts. The wide outline and voluminous standing area and tail provide unmatched stability and guarantee a perfect platform for all kind of fitness workouts and yoga exercises.

For fitness workouts and for more intense workouts, you can transform the Kaliua 11’5” to a fitness exercise machine just as you would find at your fitness studio.
