The Beginning Water Skier - How to Choose Your Water Skiing Equipment

Whether you swim or not, you can water ski. It's a sport anyone can undertake if they love the water and its related activities.

Wakeboard Binding

There's basic water skiing equipment you need of course if you plan to pursue this sport or already do so.

Wakeboard Binding

Keeping Afloat Safely
Probably the most important equipment for water skiing is the life preserver. Many states mandate the use of a life preserver for any water sport activity. Make sure your preserver is brightly colored for added safety, has a snug fit and that you're able to keep your head above the water line when testing out one of these essential water skiing equipment supplies.

The Preferred Choice
When it comes to water skiing equipment, combination skis are the most commonly used skis. Because they have a broader tip, they are great for beginning water skiers. This makes this particular equipment for water skiing easier to learn on as the skier has greater control.

One Great Skiing Option
Where combination skis use two skis for gliding over the water, slalom skis provide the water enthusiast with one ski. This type of ski makes it possible for the skier to ski at greater speeds. Also, because of their level bottoms and broader tails, the beginning or recreational skier has a better advantage when getting up out of the water and staying upright. The slalom skis for advanced water skiers have a more tapered tail design, beveled edges and camber bottoms. These skis are more difficult to maneuver but by the same token allow the more advanced skier to go faster too.

Something for the Acrobat
If you're an acrobat on skis, then you might be interested in trick skis. Advanced acrobatics can be performed on these types of water skis including spins, jumps and the famous "loop-the-loop". These skis are designed with a broader ski area and shorter length. Unlike other water skis, there are no fins on the bottom so turns or slides can be better facilitated.

Jump skis as you might have guessed are used for jumping off ramps. Of course, if you're just beginning to water ski, these types of skis might be a "leap" for you to consider. As the information herein considers the beginning or recreational skier, we'll stick to the basic skis for review.

Skis for Kids
For training your children to water ski, trainers are offered by many sporting goods shops and water ski suppliers with ropes that adjust and crossbars at the tips of the skis in order to provide balance. Also such trainers provide a wider tail which adds lift for the skier when they're starting out. Most are extremely durable and made of composite materials that are injection molded for extra strength. Bindings offer security and additional comfort and can be adjusted for this purpose. Usually trainers are about 4 feet in length and can accommodate younger skiers up to one hundred pounds.

Selected Brands
You'll find many retailers who sell equipment for water skiing on the Internet. Some of the better known brands are Body Glove, Connelly, Ho, O' Brien and Radar among others.

Whether you're just a beginner, have been skiing for a while, or have younger members in your family who wish to ski, you can find the right skis to enjoy the sand, surf and sun that water skiing provides.

Choose a Wakeboard Boat

Wakeboard boats are specialized boats used for the specific purpose of creating wakes. On the wakes, athletes perform their water and aerial tricks.

Wakeboard Binding

How wakes are created using wakeboard boats

Wakeboard Binding

Like ski boats, wakeboard boats have ballasts, yet their ballasts usually have much more weight, making larger wakes when wakeboard boats are moving. Another device, the wedge, helps shape the wake that the ballast creates.

Wakeboard boats in the market

Wakeboard boats sold in the market, whether used or new, have the same basic features. They come with upholstered chairs or benches, carpeted surface, wakeboard towers, ballast, wedge, and, of course, the steering wheel. Yet these wakeboard boats vary in their fuel capacity, type of engines, and accessories. Some wakeboard boats have a special button which lets you adjust the shape of the wake with just one press. A few have heavier ballasts which create even bigger wakes. Others have exhaust systems which reduce the carbon monoxide emitted by the machine.

A number of wakeboard boats have specially engineered seats which give you lumbar support. Others have swim platforms which are either made of teak or fiberglass. There are even those which employ the use of mufflers to silence the engine.

Accessories in wakeboard boats

Most of the differences from one wakeboard boat to another lies in the accessories included in the package. While most have a whole stereo system, some even come with tower cans to protect your speakers from environmental elements. Some even have amplifiers and satellite antennae. Compartments and lockers onboard have different sizes; and some used wakeboard boats sold by individual sellers even include sports gear like ski handles, tubes, wakeskates, tube towing ropes, lifejackets, and both men's and women's bindings.

Other wakeboard boats come not only with boat covers, but also with cockpit covers. While most wakeboard boats have heaters and a bar, others even have hot water showers. Some even have clamp down board racks, pop-up bow and stern cleats, and batteries with battery switch. A few even come with a lounge remote control and halogen docking lights. Most individual sellers sell their wakeboard boats with a free trailer.

Services involved in purchasing wakeboard boats

Although a big number of wakeboard boats sold online are from companies, there is a considerable number sold by other wakeboard users. These wakeboard boats are sold through an online auction, where you can bid for the boat of your choice. The payment methods are several and some wakeboard boats users even offer various wakeboard accessories. Some sellers provide free shipment while most individual sellers admit that you have to shoulder necessary shipment fees and taxes upon order.

With the given features, engines and payment details above, you have boundless selections to choose from. It is all up to you whether to purchase a brand new or a second-hand wakeboard boat. All that matters is you make sure that among hundreds of wakeboard boats in the market, you choose that which fits you and your style in wakeboarding.

The Dangers of Paraben-Laden Skin Care Products - What You Need to Know

If you've been doing any research at all in regards to today's effectiveness of skin care products, the odds are that you've come across the word "paraben" more than a few times.  What you've already learned about parabens may have scared you away from any product containing them -- and it should.   While there has been no direct link made between paraben and a number of health issues (including breast cancer), the scientific community has long worried that this toxic preservative could be causing some real harm in people who use it on a regular basis.  And since the odds are that you'll use your skin firming cream every night, you'd better learn as much as you can about paraben before buying any product with it listed on their ingredients label!  

Wakeboard Binding

Are Parabens Bad?

Wakeboard Binding

Despite what the cosmetic industry may tout, the dangers of paraben are indeed real. Used in the vast majority of skin care products because of their ability to preserve the natural ingredients within the product's recipe, as well as their inexpensive cost, parabens have been used throughout the world since the 1920's to help prevent the growth of bacteria in a wide range of consumer products.  Although many people have questioned their safety on and off for decades, it wasn't until researchers discovered a few years ago that more than 90% of breast cancer tumors they studied contained traces of paraben --  which turned out to be the only commonality between the patients, it really didn't raise much concern.  That has since changed, even forcing many cosmetic companies to stop using the chemical in their product lines. 

Why Are Parabens Bad?

One of the things that make parabens so bad for humans is their ability to bind to the bodies' estrogen receptors, causing an estrogen-like response within the bodies tissues.  Unfortunately parabens seem to be the most dangerous when applied to or injected into the skin.  

But, if the dangers of paraben are so high and paraben is indeed that bad for you, why is it still being used in so many products?  There are several reasons:

1. there is no conclusive evidence that it causes cancer
2. it is effective and cheap to use
3. the cosmetic and skin-care industry is the least regulated industries in the United States

Whether you believe parabens are bad or not, the fact remains that more research into their dangers is needed to ensure that people are not being needlessly put at risk for cancer or other serious health problems by using products containing this preservative chemical.  In the meantime it is up to each individual consumer to look for all-natural products that remain paraben free in order to avoid any toxic exposure. 

For more information on parabens, or to see what paraben free products are available to today's savvy consumer, be sure to check out our website: http://www.MyNaturalSkinCareMD.com  There you'll find all the information you need to make a wise skin care product choice, as well as a the paraben-free products I personally use and recommend after years of research.

Wakeboard Binding

A great number of wakeboards that match every available style resulted from technological advancement. According to the material or the shape that is utilized, wakeboards behave and work differently. A particular design works like a skateboard or snowboard. Such type of wakeboard is known as the universal style, and the boarders that use such wakeboard are known for instability and maneuverability. Wakeboards of this style are ideal for wakeboard riders that like to perform high-rotational moves and tricks. Wakeboards with square cut type of angles are known as freestyle boards and have a dynamic acceleration, but there are many models that are less easy to maneuver. Still freestyle boards are great for moves such as big air jumps.

When wanting to buy a wakeboard, most riders will definitely have to look at the boards other important features, such as maneuverability, stability, and dynamic acceleration. Likewise, if riders would want to buy a wakeboard, the material with which the wakeboard is made should also be considered. The wakeboard materials can be grouped into to categories. Wakeboards are either made out of ordinary foam or honeycomb. Wakeboards that made from foam core materials are much more inexpensive, sturdier and more durable. On the other hand, the wakeboards made from honeycomb are much more expensive and lighter. Because of this, most manufacturers produce light foam core wakeboards. Likewise, when riders want to buy a wakeboards, they might also want to buy fins which are sold together with the board. Such fins are of the same brand as the wakeboard and of same quality. You might also have to shell out extra money to purchase bindings, which basically connect the wakeboard to your feet.

Again, personal style should be considered when you buy a wakeboard binding; there are either softer or stiffer boots that will determine position through the lock that is applied in the knees and ankles. It is advisable that when a rider buy a wakeboard binding, be sure to get the best quality, as such boards will really secure the rider's control on the wakeboard. It is advisable when buying a wakeboard to select the new models, most of which have straps that would allow bindings easier and more comfortable to wear.

Top Tips for Buying Your Snowboard

If you're interested in snowboarding, you will need to find out which length and width board is best for you. Both of these factors are critically important to the success of snowboarding.

Wakeboard Binding

Understanding length

Wakeboard Binding

When it comes to length it is important to understand that length of snowboarding equipment is measured in centimetres. In addition it is often abbreviated to the last two digits. So, for example, a Burton board that is actually 156cm in measurement would be known as a Burton 56. For a kids' board you are probably going to be looking at a length around 100cm. Racing and power boards can run as long as 180cm.

In order to find the right length for you will need to begin by comparing your height. Start by holding the board on its end. You can expect the short end of the board to rest somewhere between your chin and collar bones. Be aware that shorter boards are typically easier to manoeuvre, therefore making them great boards if you are just learning to snowboard. Because they are easier to manoeuvre many individuals who like to do a lot of trick riding also prefer shorter boards.

You can expect a medium size board to fall between your nose and chin. This type of board is typically best for an intermediate and advanced rider. This is a good board for riders who prefer a variety of different terrain.

Long boards will rest anywhere from eye-level up to several inches above the top of your head. For deep powder snowboarding and large mountain terrain, this is an excellent choice.

Consider your own body weight

If you happen to be heavy for your height it is important to look for a snowboard that has a stiffer flex. On the other hand, riders who are lighter for their height should consider boards with a softer flex.

When it comes to width it is important to understand that this often involves some level of personal preference; however, it is also important to consider foot size when choosing the width of a board. For example, if you have a small foot you should look for a narrow board. On the other hand, riders with larger feet should consider wider.

Trying it for size

After you have taken all of these factors into consideration, the next step in locating the right size snowboard for you is to try it on. Stand on the board while it is flat on the ground and then step into the bindings. Be sure to angle them as you would when you ride. Your boots should come either flush to or slightly over the sides of the snowboard. This is important because if your feet are not close enough to the edge you won't be able to get the proper pressure while snowboarding and that is imperative for proper turns.

Features of a Wakeboard

The wakeboard is used for a water sport called Wakeboarding. This water sport requires the person to ride a wakeboard over the surface of the water. Wakeboarding is designed in a manner to form a perfect blend of water skiing, snow - boarding and surfing.

Wakeboard Binding

The wakeboard is light in weight and the centre of the board is made of foam. The bindings and fins are fixed on to the board with the help of metal screws. Few of the well known wake boards are Liquid Force, Ronix, O'brien and CWB.

Wakeboard Binding

The arrangement of the fins and bindings depends on the rider, as the arrangement facilitates various stunts. For example, Flat spins can be done with shallow fins. The hardware of the wakeboard is designed to allow the rider to keep either foot ahead while riding a Switch or Fakie.

The bend in the wakeboard from the apex to the end is known as the rocker. The smooth curve which remains the same throughout is the continuous rocker while the curve with two bend points is the three - stage rocker. The continuous rockers allows the wakeboard to travel faster through the water, while the three - stage rocker supports higher jumps off the water.

Over the years, the riders have found the board either too big or too small. The size of the wakeboard is the key factor in deciding the style of riding. Smaller wakeboards gives the rider a feeling of lightness. A smaller wakeboard spins faster and vigorously, and also makes the perfect landing uncomfortable. A larger wakeboard provides a smoother and more comfortable style.

The width of a wakeboard decides how high it sits in the water. The width of the wake board can be checked at its apex and ends. The turns of the board become vigorous in case of a narrow apex and end. For better surface tricks and spins, wider tips and tails are used. If the center of the wake board is wider, the higher it will sit in the water and will also bounce harder.

The design of the bottom of the wake board expresses the shaper's style. The performance of the wakeboard is highly dependent on the width and shape from tip to tail, fin arrangement and rocker. Concaves constitute the lift required to allow the wake board to settle itself higher in the water. Various outcomes can be witnessed by the combination of single and double concaves.

The release of the wakeboard from the wake depends on the placement of the fins. The board releases itself easily if the fins are allocated closely to towards the central part of the wake board. Farther the fins results in the board being hooked to the wake.

Long based fins are used to give the wake board a feeling like that of a snowboard and to hold up better on rails and ramps. Multi - finned setups have a good grip over the edge and sails aggressively through the water. And, some riders say professionals prefer riding a board without fins.
