Giro Helmet

Giro Air Attack Shield 13

We noticed a few of these helmets on some of the faster triathletes at IM 70.3 Raleigh. Despite its design, which appears more appropriate for skateboarding or hockey than cycling, the Giro Air Attack Shield helmet is said to offer a significant aerodynamic advantage. The first Air Attack™ was a revelation in styling and performance for all types of riding. Inspired by the original, the new Air Attack™ Shield delivers a dose of free speed. Its compact, lightweight and super-aerodynamic design slices through air to deliver a hyper-efficient ride. It features a magnetically fastened eye shield for wraparound eye protection that’s easy to remove during pre-race or warm-up. With an enhanced airflow design and the all-new Roc Loc® Air system, this helmet is the new benchmark in performance.

Surftech Laird

The Surftech Laird boards are a collaborative effort between big-wave and tow-in surfer Laird Hamilton and the highly regarded shaper Ron House. These boards are among the best-selling boards on the market and for good reason –they do everything surprisingly well. The series of Laird SUP boards share some common characteristics: flat bottoms for both stability and planing speed, combined with a pulle- in tail and hard rail edges for performance and control. The net result is an optimal crossover design well-suited for both flatwater cruising and wave riding. If you want just one board to do it all, this is the board to buy.
