Season's Greetings!

We would like to take a moment to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a healthy, prosperous and Happy New Year!

Fresh Water Surfing

I'd never heard of fresh water surfing but wonders never cease right? I have discovered an entire website devoted not only to fresh water surfing but there are sections devoted to sub-categories such as wake surfing, lake surfing, river surfing, kayaking and more.

This site is loaded with useful information such as Hot Spots, Tips on riding, Gear, Videos and more. For all water sports enthusiasts, especially boarders. I'd recommend this site for a look around. It's loaded with cool information for boarding of all types and focused on those who have access to fresh water only.

You never know, there may be a fresh water "hot spot" closer to home than you might imagine. If you're headed out to do some boarding don't forget to take a waterproof camera case, so you can capture and record those fun and fond memories spent riding the waves, rivers and rapids!

Swimmer's Pouch

Are you a swimmer, surfer, beachcomber or a person who simply enjoys the pleasure of basking in the sun on the beach? There are usually some concerns when leaving your beach towel or blanket for a quick dip to cool off or frolic in the water.

I used to make elaborate little hiding spots under my beach towel to stash my wallet with all of it's cash, hotel key card and credit cards. But no more, I discovered a nifty little item that attaches to my swimming shorts (inside or outside) and takes the hassle of hiding things when getting up to leave my "spot."

It's a 4 by 4 inch Ewa-Marine Belt Safe Pouch. It has two compartments, they are both accessed from the top of the pouch and the front is clear and such items as a pool pass are easily recognizable but there is a solid yellow divider where cash and credit cards can be stashed, out of sight from prying eyes. Only you know what is behind the solid colored partition.

If you have penchant for "fun in the sun" and hanging out at the beach or at poolside, this little lightweight, waterproof pouch may be just what you're looking for!

Planning A Dream Vacation?

If you have a vacation planned for a tropical island and want to make your memories last, you ordinarily bring your camera along right? Of course! What if you love to snorkel or scuba dive? Shouldn't you bring your camera long as well? Sure, but you'll need to have it enclosed in a waterproof housing to get those shots of a lifetime.

Ewa-Marine carries custom fitted flexible housings for all makes and models of photo cameras and recorders. What would be cooler than watching your own movies of rare tropical fish? All you need is a waterproof camcorder case to put your video camera inside and shoot shoals of beautiful and colorful fish moving along a reef feeding and hiding from predators.

Or, if you're a digital camera owner you can take still shots or video clips using an Ewa-Marine waterproof digital camera case. This gives you the best of both worlds stills and video!

Just a word about Ewa flexible housings. They are the most talked about housings in the world. Why, because the guys with deep pockets and large vehicles think that a clear shot can only be taken with a "hard case" which is extremely expensive and very cumbersome. They scoff at the Ewa-Marine housings which have sold more housings than any other company brand.

The fact is, Ewa housings are very versatile, light yet solid to their depth ratings and deliver beautiful underwater shots. They are very affordable and a darn sight cheaper than any of the big brand hard cases. They have a hardened, neutral, optical grade lens embedded in their lens ports, unlike other "knock off" flexible housings brands which allows you to capture the shot as you see it. Other flexible housings rely on Plexiglas lenses which get cloudy and nicked easily and rarely would produce a shot to compare with an Ewa housing.

Ewa-Marine housings use locking nuts and bolts to secure the closure rails not plastic snaps or sliding closures. They are the inventors of the first flexible housing and are made with German engineering and precision. The rest are just pretenders who have jumped on the bandwagon by altering this or that, to make them different and not infringe on any patents.

Next time you purchase a housing give Ewa-Marine a close look, the Navy Seals and Army Special Forces use them for their light weight and easy portability. Not to mention - they need very good pictures!

Survival Tools

Increasing your odds of survival, on the water or in the wilderness entails a bit of common sense and preaparation. Here are some great additions to any watercraft or expedition kit. Increasing your visibility is essential in being found by any rescue team or for hailing other vessels.
