NK SpeedCoach
If I could only choose one piece of technology for paddle training, it would be the NK SpeedCoach.
The SpeedCoach GPS 2 provides immediate feedback while you’re paddling, allowing you to see exactly how changes in technique, effort, conditions, and equipment affect your performance. Whether I’m preparing for a race, testing equipment, monitoring interval workouts, or simply tracking progress over time, it helps remove the guesswork from training.
The ability to measure speed and pace in real time has made me a more efficient paddler and a better coach. It allows athletes to connect what they feel on the water with objective performance data.
Portable Handpump Shower
My favorite rinse kit for paddle training—and my gear loves it, too. This portable 8-liter pressurized shower is perfect for rinsing off salt, sand, boards, paddles, and gear after time on the water. It delivers up to 45 PSI of water pressure with multiple spray settings and works with cool or warm water. The foot-pump design means no electricity or charging is needed, so I can keep it in the car and have a quick rinse wherever I train.
