In Florida, It’s All About the Water... So, Take the Plunge! We live in Florida. The weather is

warm and sunny and there are miles of white sandy beaches. People flock to us from cities in the north to escape the cold winters. But a lot of us who live here year round don’t truly take advantage of all that Florida and specifically, Pinellas County, has to offer. For those of you who have forgotten, we have water everywhere and we can do much more than just get wet in it. We can surf, skim, sail, kayak, windsurf, kite board, paddle board and canoe. And that’s just on top of the water. We can go below and snorkel or go real deep and scuba dive. Of course, we can swim. We can swim for fun or fitness and we can swim competitively and we can do it in a variety of places. We can swim in the gulf and in the lakes. We can also swim in pools both indoor and outdoor, pretty much whenever we want to.

BOARD SPORTS What’s a board sport? Simply put, anything that involves a board, a body and some form of natural propulsion like wind or waves, is a board sport.

SURFING The most well known, and oldest of all the board sports is surfing. In fact, it was 1779 when James King, recorded the first written description

And, if you don’t know how to do any of the above, well, you can learn, because there is a multitude Andrew Billitto, 11, swims competitively for West of instructional classes Florida Lightning Aquatics in Largo. available. Don’t know where to go? Well, we’re gonna tell ya! We’re even gonna of Hawaiian surfing. But by 1890, tell ya what kind of equipment you because missionaries believed need and where to find it. After all, surfing was “hedonistic,” surfing in this is the 2016 Your Sports News Hawaii was nearly extinct. Watersports Issue, so let’s get started!

It wasn’t until 1905, when a teenager, Duke Kahanamoku, who became known as the “Big Kahuna,” and some friends, later known as the “Beach Boys of Waikiki,” started the rebirth of surfing in Hawaii. A few years later, surfing was introduced to the United States mainland. In the 1950’s, the attraction of the north shore’s swells had brought on a migration of surfers from California in search of the ultimate ride down some of the world’s biggest waves. In 1966, Bruce Brown produced his epic surfing documentary, “The Endless Summer,” which, along with the movie, “Gidget,” ignited the surf craze of the 60’s and 70’s. Today, some estimate that there are 25 million surfers worldwide. Surfing is big business with sponsorships and the World Championship Tour (WCT). In 2004, Stacy Peralta, a famous skater/surfer directed and narrated the epic big wave surfing tale, “Riding Giants.” The movie traces the origins of surfing and specifically focuses on the art of big wave riding. Now, west Florida isn’t exactly an epic surf spot. In fact, many people who live here comment, “You surf here? Really? I didn’t think we had any waves...” But, yes we do get waves! In fact, Pinellas County gets about 100 days of surf during the course of the year.

In the winter, the cold fronts that send most Floridians fleeing to find warm clothes and cover the bushes, signal the surfer it’s time to put on the rubber and head to the beach. While most of us are putting up hurricane shutters in the summer and fall, surfers are tracking the hurricane swell to find the best break to surf. Why do we have surf? Well, because the Gulf of Mexico has wind and water. Wind is what makes waves. Confused? A storm creates wind and the wind blows onto the water. The area of this interaction is called the fetch. The longer the wind blows over this area, the bigger the created swell. Eventually, either the storm dies or the wave speed exceeds the forward speed of the storm, and these seas ‘escape’ into relatively calm waters. The water doesn’t actually move, but the created energy does.

This swell moves towards the shore in sets of waves. As it reaches the shore, going from deep water to shallow water, the wave rises up and begins to break. This is where the surfer catches the wave and rides it to the beach. Of course, we won’t be riding many “giants” here on the west coast, but if there were a movie called “Riding Midgets,” the west coast of Florida is home to a board sport that fits the title.

SKIMBOARDING So, what exactly is skimboarding? Skimboarding is a close relative of surfing with one major difference. The skimmer begins on the beach (as opposed to the surfer who starts out in the water beyond the break and rides the wave into the beach)

ECKERD COLLEGE

and stands about twenty feet from the water and waits for a wave. When a wave comes in, the skimmer runs towards it, tosses the board into the wet sand and jumps onto it as quickly as possible. Once on the board, the skimmer rides the skim out into the water toward the oncoming wave, banks off it, and rides it back into shore. There is a close relationship to the dry land x-treme sport of skateboarding. Many of the names of tricks that are done by the skimboarders were originated in the skateboarding world and many skimmers are also skateboarders.

MilPro Publications board, also commonly called a sailboard, usually 2 to 5 meters long and powered by wind pushing a sail. The rig is connected to the board by a free-rotating flexible universal joint (U-Joint). Unlike a rudder-steered sailboat, a windsurfer is steered by the tilting and rotating of the mast and sail as well as tilting and carving the board. The sport combines aspects of both sailing and surfing, along with certain athletic aspects shared with other board sports like skateboarding, snowboarding, waterskiing, and wakeboarding. The boom of the 1980’s led windsurfing to be recognized as an Olympic sport in 1984. However, windsurfing’s popularity saw a sharp decline in the mid-1990s, as equipment became more specialized,

Page 9 requiring more expertise to sail. Now the sport is experiencing a modest revival, as new beginner-friendly designs are becoming available

KITEBOARDING Kitesurfing or kiteboarding is a surface water sport that uses wind power to pull a rider through the water on a small surfboard or a kiteboard. The Chinese are credited with using kites for propulsion in the 13th century. In 2013, the number of kitesurfers had been estimated at around 150,000 to 210,000, with 114,465 inflatable kites sold that same year.

STAND-UP

PADDLEBOARDING

Stand-up paddleboarding or SUP, like surfing, is derived from it’s Polynesian roots. The Hawaiian translation KU HOE HE’E NALU: to stand, to paddle, to surf a wave. It’s the world’s fastest growing water sport. However, it’s certainly not new. Man has been riding for hundreds of years. It really came to notice in the 1950’s and really took off in the 1990’s when big name Hawaiian surfers took to the sport.

WHERE DO U DO IT? OK, so now you have a board. It’s all waxed up and you’re ready to go, but where do you go? In Pinellas County the answer to that question is simply two words, Gulf Boulevard. The twenty mile stretch actually starts at Clearwater Beach, where

Pinellas County gets about 100 days of surf during the course of the year.

you can get rides at a couple of spots, but the area is crowded and tourist heavy. Continue south and cross the bridge to Sand Key County Park. Sand Key is the first stop and has plenty of metered parking. It’s a short walk down to the water and the park has bathroom and shower facilities. During the summer, the lifeguards will restrict you to a 100 yard section just off the jetty, but after Labor Day, the lifeguards are gone and the entire beach is up for grabs. Keep driving south along Gulf and you will pass Belleair Beach which is mostly residential and has limited beach access. But have no fear! Just a mile or so down the road you will arrive at Indian Rocks Beach. For skimmers, surfers, SUPers and kite boarders alike, Indian Rocks Beach (IRB)... Rocks! Beach access is abundant and free. Just look to your right as you drive south and you will see beach access signs at most avenues. Start at the north end around 28th Avenue. Pull into almost any avenue and you’ll find

parking and in a few steps, you’ll be on the beach. For cyberspace info on skimming and surfing in west Florida go to www.gulfster.com. So, if you are living east of the beaches, it might be about time to drive across the bridge to see what all the hype is about. And you could some day get stoked!

SAILING Although sailing as a means of transportation predates history, sport sailing,or yachting, seems to have originated in the 17th century in Holland. From there it was introduced into England somewhere around 1660 by Charles II, and eventually spread to the American colonies. Then, as now, it was common for sport sailors to join together for social and recreational purposes in groups known as yacht clubs. The world’s first such club was founded in 1720 at Cork, Ireland.

The oldest continuously existing club in the United States is the New York Yacht Club which was founded in 1844. In 1851, members of the NYYC raced the schooner America against British competitors around England’s Isle of Wight. Victorious, they deeded their trophy to the NYYC. It became known as the America’s Cup, giving it’s name to the oldest and most prestigious event in international sailboat racing. Of course, navigating your sunfish through the treacherous waters of Clearwater on a calm sunny day, can’t quite compare to winning the America’a Cup, but one has to start somewhere, right?

SAIL BOAT TYPES The Sunfish dinghy is a popular one-design sailing dinghy which can be sailed with one, two, or three persons, but is most often sailed by one person. The Laser is a popular one-design class of small sailing dinghy. According the Laser Class Rules the boat may be sailed by either one or two people, though it is rarely sailed by two. The Laser is one of the most popular single-handed dinghies in the world. The 420 Class dinghy is a monohull planing dinghy with centreboard, bermuda rig and centre sheeting. It is designed for a crew of two. A Catamaran is a type of multihulled boat consisting of two hulls, joined by some structure. The most common sailboat is the Sloop which features one mast and

MilPro Publications two sails, a normal mainsail and a foresail. This simple configuration is very efficient for sailing towards the wind. Where to learn? There are two expert schools in Pinellas County. Conveniently, one is located in the north and the other in the south:

SWIMMING Swimming competition dates way back. Although swimming was not included in the ancient Olympic games, the Greeks practiced the sport, holding it in high regard, as they did all athletic endeavors. In fact, one of the most biting insults one Greek could unleash on another was to describe him as a man who, “...neither knew how to run or swim.”

Plato considered a man who didn’t know how to swim uneducated. Both Julius Caesar and Charlemagne were known as great swimmers and Louis XI frequently took swims in the Seine River. Today, a Pinellas County swimmer’s path to the Olympics starts with USA Swimming. The USS is the national governing body for competitive swimming in the United States. Unlike many other sports, qualifying is based on beating the clock, not another swimmer. Throughout the year, swimmers compete in meets with their age groups and at the end of the year, the top 16 are announced in each age group. Swimmers age 19 and under who make the Olympic qualifying times, can compete at the Junior Championships. At the Junior Nationals, age groups are not considered and it’s all about how fast you can go. Younger swimmers can stay in their age groups and compete in the AAU Junior Olympics. Pinellas County offers swimmers of all ages and skill levels many options. Pinellas County swim clubs are a good way to get started:

Page 25 matches are set. Extra Butter, who finished the regular season in first place with a 7-1-0 record, knocked off Bmore Corny , 2-zip to advance to the semi finals. They will take on K-FORCE, who finished the regular season with an even 4-4-0 record. The two seed, Maybe We’ll Get Better, got the better of THE ANNIHILATORS to move through the first round. They will take on Hole Patrol, who eliminated Sack To The Future 2-1. Hole Patrol spoiled Extra Butter’s shot in a perfect season back on January 29th when they handed the Butter their only loss. This could set up an intriguing championship match. Ed MacDonald of Maybe We’ll Get Better leads the league with a 6.11 average score per inning. Pete Krull of K-Force is second with 5.85 and Extra Butter’s Brandon Shanahan is third. Winter leagues in all of the above sports will be starting soon.

Seal Swim School was founded by Therese Cullen Seal in 1980, operating a home-based swim program in Tampa, that taught thousands of children to swim. In 1993, the school expanded by opening two swim schools located at Total Fitness Center in Tarpon Springs and the other was operated out of a pool connected to a daycare center in Tampa. The Lutz location was established in 2000, and the brand new state of the art facility in Lutz was completed in June of 2005. The South Tampa location was opened in March of 2006. Seal Swim School’s goal is to produce safer, skilled and happy swimmers while building selfesteem and a love for the water.

SCUBA DIVING Scuba diving is swimming underwater while using a scuba set. By carrying a source of breathing gas (usually compressed air), the scuba diver is able to stay underwater longer than with the simple breath-holding techniques used in snorkeling and free-diving, and is not hindered by air lines to a remote air source. The scuba diver typically swims underwater by using fins attached to the feet. Scuba today typically refers to the in-line opencircuit equipment, developed by Emile Gagnan and Jacques-Yves Cousteau, in which compressed gas (usually air) is inhaled from a tank and then exhaled into the water.

However, rebreathers (both semiclosed circuit and closed circuit) are also self-contained systems (as opposed to surface-supplied systems) and are therefore classified as scuba.
