We enjoyed SUPing so much during our Maui trip. Thinking about getting this one from MEC, the NRS Baron 4 inflatable stand up paddleboard (SUP). It gets really good reviews and extremely convenient for someone who doesn't own a truck.

New Sport Invented: Loopyball a.k.a Bubble Soccer or Bubble Football

"Bubble soccer or football if you're from Europe has spread to Italy, providing us with this totally amusing clip of guys smashing into each other, bouncing around and rolling across the floor in inflatable, Zorb-like balls. As much as we love watching these big guys chase after balls, it's even more fun watching them bounce around upside down with their legs stuck in the air.
