A little more than twenty years ago, Dave Kalama, Laird Hamilton and their Hawaiian colleagues probably had no idea that they would make history in sports. Successful and world-famous wave riders, when the sea did not offer high waves for surfing, took a paddle to their boards and trained by stand-up paddling. It didn't take long for others to follow suit, first in Hawaii, later in California and beyond. The turn of the millennium is considered the beginning of modern paddle surfing (supanja), which is currently the fastest developing sport. Because it is an attractive activity, the popularity of diving can be seen at every turn. In the last few years, Slovenia has been "overwhelmed" by more and more enthusiastic young people and a little less young people who take up surfing on all types of water.

JetSurf glides over the surface of the water at a good 55 km/h, which is unheard of on land, but on the water is truly extraordinary. A toy for real men who don't just want to lie on the beach in the summer, but need the company of a great gadget.
We love water, are we adventurers and Robinson explorers at heart? The answer is the quick-build modular Point 65N kayak, which will conquer river rapids, the open sea, a calm lake...
People like to quickly get excited about new things, which we also quickly buy, but then sometimes disappointment follows. It is always wise to do a bit of searching for information, especially when deciding to buy a product that is still largely unknown.

Man comes up with many strange things. In fact, there are so many of them that they are no longer unusual at all, or will become completely common over time. This also applies to sports, where soccer still reigns supreme. In recent years, we've witnessed many rumblings, but we haven't seen cyclists on the water yet, is that right? At least not the ones we're going to present to you now.
Surfing or "surfing" has never been so easy. We don't need any more strong waves, just a Lampuga "surfboard". Thanks to the electric motor, even an average surfer can enjoy the sea waves.
Few new sports have caught on as quickly as stand-up rowing. Supanja, as we call it after the English abbreviation sup, is a global water success. We see sups on rivers, lakes and seas, on calm, wavy and turbulent water... Most manufacturers also offer inflatable versions that have many advantages. In the inflated state, they are completely equivalent to the classic versions in terms of strength. But they are much lighter and above all more convenient to transport and store. In the Intersport stores, we found some new models of supos, which will surely become our loyal companions in water activities.
After winter hibernation, it's time for outdoor sports activities. Some of you go to the mountains, others run, and some prefer water sports. And since the feet are still slightly sensitive due to the long winter, it is good to choose the right footwear, especially for the water, because the rocks, shells, hooks on the bottom and last but not least the salt can be quite disgusting at the first encounter. These are the best men's water shoes.
Undoubtedly, one of the more adrenaline-tinged adventures is going down the rapids with a dinghy, where we like to be tossed around, splashed, sometimes even thrown into the water. In most cases, it is a fairly safe activity where you can enjoy the beauty of nature, take care of some recreation and spend time in good company.
Do you remember the scene in the Bond film Thunderball when Sean Connery dons a mask and snorkel and dives into the depths of the sea? Everything went so smoothly and quickly. Now you can be Bond too, except you don't have to fight criminals underwater, but you can admire the world below the surface. The time has come for you too to go into the water and taste the magic of diving.
We probably all know the game called throwing frogs and have played it at some point to chase away boredom on the beach or by the river. It was from the mentioned game that Celjana Gregor Ferlež and Martin Hostnik drew inspiration for the innovative Slovenian toy Skippy, which brightens up hours in the water.
