HUUB wins Queen's Award for Innovation!

Here at Swim Smooth, we're super excited to announce that our wetsuit partner, HUUB, has just received the coveted Queen's Award for Innovation. Amazing! We'd love to take this opportunity to tell you a little more about the early days when Paul and Adam were visited on a dreary, wet September day in 2011 in Folkestone (UKd) by a true entrepreneurial visionary in the product development aspect of triathlon, Dean Jackson.

Dean had a plan to fundamentally redesign how wetsuits were made and sought out Paul and Adam's help based on our unique Swim Type coaching methodology, to create a suit that better addressed the needs of a range of different swimmers and triathletes, taking into account varying levels of buoyancy. On the back of a paper napkin, overseen by a world-famous sports scientist and co-founder, Huub Toussaint, the three guys started to craft out what would ultimately become one of the world's leading wetsuit brands.

But before we tell you that story, let's hear from Dean on what this means for the company which today employs 24 passionate HUUBies, has created a world-beating independent cycling team, produces a massive amount of great technical wear, has the world's most famous chef, Gordon Ramsey, as one of its keenest users, and is still based at its home in Derby, UK.

From a Derby garage to Buckingham Palace in just nine years!

HUUB, which has become a world leader in triathlon gear, has now received Royal approval after being awarded the Queen's Award for Innovation.

The awards are the most prestigious in the UK and celebrate the success of exciting businesses which are leading the way with pioneering products or services. HUUB was put under the microscope of a stringent panel of judges before they passed their recommendation to Her Majesty for approval.

HUUB's founder, Dean Jackson said, "To be recognised in the Queen's Awards is amazing. I would never have dreamed when starting this business on my kitchen table nine years ago that we would be recognised for what really makes HUUB special... Our innovation!

"We constantly strive to make athletes better and faster and our sport more fulfilling. We are relentless in the pursuit of performance, and innovation sits at the heart of everything we do.

"I'd like to thank the team for driving our ambition and aspirations to be the very best in our field and for believing in the crazy ideas that drive innovation and experimentation.

"There is a saying, 'if you do what you did, you get what you got', and we believe that to make an innovative change, you need to do, think and explore where others have failed to go or failed to see the benefit.

"Winning the Queen's Award is for the whole business. It's a reflection of the team's dedication to pushing thinking and challenging the norm."

Research | Science | Reality

Back on a dreary day in September 2011 as Swim Smooth Head Coach, Paul Newsome, was waiting for the call to swim the English Channel, Paul and Adam were visited in Dover by a true visionary in the product development aspect of triathlon, Dean Jackson.

Dean had reached out to Swim Smooth to help him create a new range of exciting wetsuits which would be named HUUB after one of Paul's most-admired sports scientists, Professor Huub Toussaint. Dean coined the tagline "Research | Science | Reality" in recognition of Dean's research and understanding of what the triathlon population needed from a new wetsuit at that point, Huub's ability to test and back-up any innovations with his stringent scientific background, and Swim Smooth's work on the reality "coalface" with the swimming and triathlon population in a coaching context.

On the back of a paper napkin in a Costa Coffee in Folkestone, Dean, Paul, Adam, and Shelley Taylor-Smith (7-time world marathon swimming champion who was there to mentor Paul for his big swim), began discussing some new concepts for wetsuit design centred around Swim Smooth's Swim Type coaching methodology. In a coaching sense, we have used this system extensively since 2010 to help our coaches and swimmers determine a starting point for their individual stroke correction needs based on such things as height, build, gender, experience/ability, age, wingspan, etc. Dean was curious to know what we had learned about how these different factors impacted a swimmer's technique, specifically from the point of view of buoyancy profiles in the water. Did different types of swimmers require a different type of wetsuit based on how they normally swim without a suit?

Most people wrongly assume that everyone loves and benefits from the most buoyancy in a wetsuit as is legally allowed, however our own observation, awareness, and thousands of hours working with a range of different swimmers, suggested that this wasn't the case - some people positively hated wearing a wetsuit and resent those who spend the big bucks and suddenly become significantly faster!

The second wrong assumption people were making if they did believe that there could be a need for different levels of buoyancy between swimmers, was that more buoyancy for a guy would be better than more buoyancy for a female. Again, this assumption - whilst feasibly correct 70% of the time - didn't cover the whole gamut that we were seeing day-in, day-out as coaches. We were observing that wetsuit selection and buoyancy profile could be more closely linked to the swimmer's type (which is gender independent), than their specific gender and the assumption that all female swimmers float better than men.

Let's look at three extreme examples which helped form the basis of two of HUUB's early wetsuit range - the 3:5 Archimedes, the 3:3 Aura, and the 4:4 Aerious:

Our Classic Arnie Swim Type and the 3:5 Archimedes wetsuit:

Typically male, but many female Arnettes do exist, especially those with very lean, muscular frames of the type that might be doing Ironman at a relatively serious level. This is the classic swimmer who loves using a wetsuit as it helps to offset their key stroke flaw, low sinking legs. This swimmer loves using a pull buoy (and eventually buoyancy shorts and HUUB's "kickpant"), because of how this added buoyancy both lifts the legs and keeps them closer together, thus reducing drag. By creatively reducing buoyancy in the upper body of the wetsuit (3mm) and increasing buoyancy around the hips and legs (5mm), the 3:5 Archimedes wetsuit was the ultimate speed weapon for the type of swimmer who is ordinarily limited by their swimming prowess in the pool.

Click image above for a cool comparative wetsuit vs non-wetsuit video with an Arnie

Our Classic Kicktastic Swim Type and the 3:3 Aura wetsuit:

Many assume that everyone loves a wetsuit, but not a Kicktastic! In fact, most Kicktastics are not truly slower when wearing any wetsuit, it's just that they don't see the same gains that their Arnie / Arnette counterparts do and this has been historically frustrating for them. Together with Dean and Huub, we helped create the world's first specifically designed low-buoyancy wetsuit to cater to the fact that a Kicktastic's body profile and horizontal position in the water is already their key strength. Adding more buoyancy than what is necessary to keep the swimmer warm in colder water is simply unnecessary and contributed to the feeling of "unbalance" and awkwardness that a Kicktastic would repeatedly tell us about. The 3mm body combined with the 3mm legs saw a much more balanced position in the water for the Kicktastics who tried the original Aura suit and it soon became known as "the wetsuit for people who hate wetsuits"!

Overly buoyant wetsuit combined with a very strong kick = disaster / frustration

Our Classic Smooth / Swinger Swim Type and the 4:4 Aerious:

Even if you don't have a massively strong leg kick, but swimming is your background, chances are a) your buoyancy without a suit is already pretty good, and b) you want a wetsuit to feel like you're not wearing one! The 4mm body combined with the 4mm legs of the original lower-price-point Aerious became a quick crowd-favourite for those from a swimming background wanting to try triathlon for the first time. In fact, here's Australian National U18 open water swimming champion and this year's 4th place in the open category (narrowly missing a birth to the Tokyo Olympics by just 12 seconds), using a new version of Aerious just this morning in the Swan River here in Perth where we're undergoing another short COVID lockdown - Byron loves this suit!

Launch:

The HUUB wetsuit range was launched in February 2012 at the London Triathlon Show which we were hugely proud to be part of. Check out the initial release blog here, which shows some of the initial testing and analysis which Adam went to oversee at the hi-tech InnoSportNL facility in Eindhoven.

Canyoning is exploding around the world as a popular way to get outdoors, stay fit, and get out of your comfort zone. And on top of that, it’s awesome fun and you feel like a kid again jumping and sliding in the water!

Whether you have just started canyoning or are looking to get into it, the question almost everyone is always interested in when starting is this...

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO START CANYONING?

It's the question people always ask me. No matter the sport or activity, if people are interested in trying it themselves, they want to know how much it will cost them, among other things of course!

I've made a list detailing all you need to be a self sufficient canyoner. Minus the experience and skills of course, so you should always seek to get proper instruction from experienced canyoners or take a course.

The following items will be listed by importance, based on you starting your canyoning journey with no gear at all. If you are progressing into canyoning from rock climbing, you will have some of the gear already (yay)!

Any non critical safety items, like shoes, bags or wetsuits, are fine to buy second hand. For all safety equipment, buying new is recommended.

With all items, keep an eye out for sales and discounts at outdoor/climbing gear stores. Joining canyoning clubs will often get you discounts year round. Sales can see some items reduced by significant percentages! So make use of them!

Descending The General. Is This One of New Zealand’s Best Canyons?

What is Canyoning? Is Canyoning for You?

A quick note: Some of the links in this post might be affiliate links. This means that if you click on the link and make a purchase, I’ll receive a small commission – at no extra cost for you, which helps me cover the costs for this blog, or at least, I can buy a slice of cake.

1- Canyoning Shoes

Your footwear is important as canyons are often wet and slippery environments. While there are specialist canyoning shoes you can buy, lightweight trainers work perfectly fine in many parts of the world. In Australia where I started canyoning, Dunlop Volleys are very popular for their superior grip on the wet rock.

I have tried expensive canyoning shoes and cheap shoes and now tend to stick with cheap $30 trainers as my expensive pairs last only slightly longer.

Approximate cost: $30 AUD +

Example: Mens/Womens Trainers / Specialist Canyoning Shoes

2 - Harness

A harness is your attachment point to the rope as you abseil or when you need to connect to an anchor or guideline to stay safe. You can buy a simple climbing harness or use a specialised canyoning harness with vinyl bottom protector. This vinyl sheet stops the abrasion on your wetsuit and harness as you slide and move on rocks, so will make the wetsuit and harness last longer. Either are fine to get.

Approximate cost: $80 AUD +

Example: Simple harness Mens / Womens/ canyoning harness

3 - Helmet

Wearing a helmet is important in canyoning as anything moving about the top of the canyon, like animals for example, can dislodge rocks and other debris. A helmet also protects you from general knocks that can happen. You can use any regular climbing helmet, but make sure it fits and you like wearing it. You will be more likely to always wear it if you like it after all!

Approximate cost: $60 AUD +

Example:Mens / Womens

4 - Abseil device with a locking screwgate carabiner

When you first start, you can use a climbing belay device if you already have one since many climbers tend to give canyoning a go. If you are starting with no gear at all, getting a figure eight abseil device is the best choice for the flexibility in the later stages of canyoning, and are also quite cheap as well. As you progress, or if you know you like canyoning, the Petzl Pirana is one of the best devices I’ve used and is highly recommended!

Approximate cost: $30 AUD +

Example:Figure 8 / Petzl Pirana descender

5 - Cowstail with 2 locking carabiners (safety)

A cowstail is important in canyoning as your means of connecting to anchors and guidelines to keep you safe, and is also known as your 'safety'. Using a climbing PAS (personal anchor safety) or sling is not recommended as you need the dynamic rope for a cowstail as the chance of slipping and shock loading your safety is higher in a wet canyoning environment.

You can buy a ready made cowstail from Petzl, or make your own (guide coming soon).

Approximate cost: $60 AUD +

Example:Petzl dual adjust connect / Large locking carabiner

6 - Canyoning pack

A regular hiking backpack will work fine to begin with, especially in dry canyons. But the more water a canyon contains, the more important it is to have a canyoning pack with adequate drainage. As you swim and exit the water, everything drains out quickly and the bags don’t weigh you down. My absolute favourite packs are made by Access Gear in New Zealand.

Approximate cost: $150 AUD +

Example:Mesh Expedition bag / Canyoning Bag (great for lots of rope work)

7 - Wetsuit

Canyons are always cold, even on very hot summer days. For any area in the world with water filled canyons, a wetsuit is very important to keep you warm, which in turn, helps you enjoy your day. For many places, a 3mm thick wetsuit will provide enough warmth and can be bulked up with thermals and spray jackets which add warmth. For places like New Zealand and Europe, thicker wetsuits (4mm+) are recommended as the water is very cold. Any type of wetsuit is fine to get (freediving, scuba, surfing) as long as it will keep you warm based on the area you will go canyoning.

To pick the best wetsuit, try on all the different ones you can find, and buy one based on fit. Ensure you can move reasonably well while wearing it, and that it has tight seals on the wrists, ankles and neck. You can also scout your local trading websites, groups and newspapers for people selling wetsuits as these are often quite cheap.

Approximate cost: $100 AUD +

Example:Canyoning specific wetsuits

8 - Drybag/waterproof keg

A minimum of 2 drybags, one inside the other and closed independently, are perfect to keep the water away from the things you want to keep dry. Using one is no guarantee of keeping your things dry, as they can eventually break and leak! Alternatively, I love my waterproof keg which is 100% watertight and very durable for when you throw your bag around.

Approximate cost: $40 AUD +

Example:Waterproof Keg / STS drybags

9 - Whistle

A whistle may seem like an odd piece of equipment to take canyoning if you have never done it before, but in water filled canyons it is one of the best ways of communicating over the noise of rushing water and when you cannot see each other. It is important to get a 'ball-less' whistle which also works when wet. Regular 'cheap' whistles can fail when water is inside them.

Approximate cost: $5 AUD +

Example:Fox 40 Whistle

10 - Carabiners

You can never have enough carabiners! They are useful for all sorts of rigging tasks and for building anchors. To start with, have at least 2 large locking carabiners spare on your harness.

Approximate cost: $15 AUD each x2 =$30

Example:Large locking carabiner

11 - First aid kit & Survival blanket

It’s important to stay safe in the event something were to happen, so always take a first aid kit and a survival blanket. The survival blanket is especially important as canyons are already cold places, and if you were stuck in there for longer than expected, will get really cold! Consider getting a survival bivvy bag, they retail for around $30 AUD and are far warmer than the blanket. The bivvy bag is a great addition to every outdoor adventure anyway, so is well worth investing in!

Approximate cost: $50 AUD +

Example:First aid kit / Bivvy bag

TOTAL COST TO START CANYONING: $635 AUD ($450 USD)

EXTRA GEAR YOU WILL NEED AS YOU PROGRESS IN CANYONING

While the above gear gets you started, you will require a few more items as you progress. These can be bought over time and will depend on your exact canyoning needs. Not everyone will need a rope as friends or partners canyoning together can share this cost.

Here is the complete list if you want to ensure you are well equipped and self sufficient:

12 - Static Rope

Your canyoning rope should be a static rope. Dynamic rope used for rock climbing is NOT SUITABLE. As well as the increased likelihood of damaging it from sharp edges or abrasion due to its increased stretch, it is also more prone to jam on anchors and in between rocks. Canyons are simply too different compared to the rock faces climbers scale.

A big question is always which rope to get? Basic static rope, either 9-10mm is suitable, and focus on one which has a thick sheath and low stretch versus other static ropes. If you want your ropes to last a little longer, canyoning specific ropes are the way to go, my favourite being the Tendon and Kordas brands. There's no need to stress obsessively over which particular rope to get, just make sure its a rated static rope, is 9-10mm in diameter, and is suitable for abseiling. Always buy well known branded ropes from reputable climbing or outdoor stores, and ask for assistance if in doubt.

Approximate cost: $250 AUD +

Example:Kordas Iris 9

13 - Ascenders

Ascenders are used to get back up the rope and for rescue hauling. This could be if a rope gets stuck, or if someone is stuck on the rope mid-abseil. Prussic loops can be used initially and should always be carried on your harness in both climbing and canyoning sports anyway, but mechanical ascenders like the Petzl Micro Traxion are invaluable in that rare emergency of if you wish to haul something. It should go without saying, hauling and rescue techniques require training.

Approximate cost: $90 AUD+

Example:Petzl Micro Traxion

14 - Knife

A good, lightweight knife is used to cut webbing for anchors. There should be at least one in your group, but it is recommended each person have their own. In severe emergencies, it may be needed for rescues (training required).

Approximate cost: $30 AUD

Example:Petzl Spatha

15 - Wetsuit socks

Cold feet can make the rest of the body feel cold. So for places like New Zealand and Europe, wetsuit socks are well worth investing in and will make a massive difference in your overall warmth!

Approximate cost: $30 AUD

Example: Wetsuit socks

16 - Slings

Slings are used for a variety of tasks and should be carried by everyone. At least one sling is recommended, however, a few extra should be in the group. Webbing material for anchors should also be carried on all trips and may substitute your slings for anchor material.

Approximate cost: $15 AUD +

Example: Black Diamond Nylon Sling

17 - Extra figure 8 descenders for single rope abseil

If using releasable abseils, a extra figure 8 descender is often used for this. You should always be supervised if learning single rope releasable abseil techniques. A munter mule can also be used which requires one of your carabiners. You should aim to learn both techniques to be able to go canyoning with anyone in the world and be familiar with the procedures.

Approximate cost: $10 AUD +

Example:Figure 8

TOTAL COST, INCLUDING THE FIRST LOT: $1,060 AUD ($755 USD)

DOES IT SEEM A BIT EXPENSIVE?

While running the canyoning and abseil events in my adventure group years ago, many people thought this amount of money required to go canyoning is quite substantial. I have always disagreed.

Here’s why.

Many people happily fork out $150 + per month on membership based fitness classes. While they offer a great service, I’ve always seen it as money that could be spent of gear that then opens up many new avenues for adventure and spending time in the outdoors.

And other activities such as boating or scuba diving are far more expensive in both startup and ongoing costs. Even just going canyoning with a commercially run group will usually set you back $150-250+. And that's just for one trip!

Think about this: after 6 months of Crossfit, you would have bought ALL the gear you need to continue canyoning independently for 3 years (approximately) before needing to replace some of the gear for safety. Items such as descenders and carabiners (and all gear made from alloy for that matter) lasts almost a lifetime, unless damaged. Helmets tend to last many years as well.

And as mentioned earlier, you will be able to share gear costs with items such as ropes, among friends and partners, reducing individual costs.

This makes canyoning quite affordable in comparison to many other activities or sports, and also allows you far more freedom to have a variety of adventures and see new places all around the world.

Canyoning can be done in many locations around the world and is FREE to do if you are self sufficient. A bit of gas money to get to the canyoning areas is the only extra ongoing cost and the occasional gear replacement when its worn.

Once you have the gear, get some instruction from some experienced people or mentors, or take a course, and then find some canyons to explore! Taking that first step can be hard, so never be afraid to ask questions no matter how silly they seem.

Got questions of your own? Comment below or contact me for more help!

Remember: Safety is your responsibility! No internet article or video can replace proper instruction and experience. Make sure you’re practised in proper techniques and safety requirements before you go canyoning!

Blue Seventy Men's Helix Wetsuit - 2013

New Post has been published on https://topbargaintriathlon.com/blue-seventy-mens-helix-wetsuit-2013/

Blue Seventy Men's Helix Wetsuit - 2013

we've further enhanced our flagship Helix wetsuit with subtle pattern refinements and considerable material improvements. This year our Helix suit is designed to further impress with unparalleled flexibility while strategic materials and panels maximize buoyancy throughout the suit. Our Torsional Stretch Technology has been further enhanced with functional design using A-Flex material in a swim specific multi-directional layout. Our now legendary reverse zipper not only ensures a more sure swim, and a quicker suit exit, but reduces the need for a traditionally bulky collar, improving your comfort and making it easier to sight. The 2mm textured Knee Flex panels assists with knee flexing by reducing bunching behind the knee and improving functionality. The tube construction in the lower leg, combines A-Flex material with a single seam to maximize the flexibility and promote a quick release from your suit in the transition. The buoyancy of this suit features a centralizing core buoyancy to raise the position of the hips in relation to the rest of the swimmer.The 5mm chest thickness of the Helix uses two lateral panels that naturally and anatomically accentuates the lungs, producing the optimal amount of buoyancy for the swimmer in the upper body. The 5mm thick torso uses a core panel of Yamamoto aerodome material to deliver a maximal central buoyancy zone in the suit, keeping the hips high and promoting an efficient downhill swimming position. The 4mm Yamamoto 39 cell neoprene legs deliver the perfect blend of buoyancy without limiting drive from the kick.

HUUB 50% OFF SALE - Understanding Buoyancy Profiles

As we are sure you've noticed, we've got some stunning 50% OFF deals on 2020 HUUB wetsuits right now. Remember the sale ENDS ON MONDAY! : shop.swimsmooth.com/collections/50-off-huub-sale HUUB wetsuits come in three major buoyancy profiles and it's important you choose the right one for you, for maximum comfort, stability and of course speed. These buoyancy profiles are labelled 3:3, 4:4 and 3:5. But what do these numbers mean and which is right for you? The numbers refer to the thickness of the main areas of neoprene: 3 = 3mm (that's thin for a wetsuit), 4 = 4mm and 5 (you guessed it) = 5mm, the maximum legal thickness in triathlon. The first number refers to the upper body of the wetsuit and the second the lower body. So 3:5 means 3mm in the upper body and 5mm in the lower. Obviously more thickness means more buoyancy but where that buoyancy is placed is super important: The Sinky Legged Swimmer If you have sinky legs (as many men and some women do) then you obviously want to lift your legs up as high as possible with your wetsuit to minimise drag. Maximum buoyancy all over then? Actually, no! You want maximum buoyancy in the legs (5mm) but minimum buoyancy in the chest (3mm) because your body acts a bit like a see-saw in the water. Bring your front end down with less buoyancy in the chest and that brings your legs up even more to reduce drag further. Of course having nice thin material in the upper body also gives maximum flexibility for shoulder and upper back movement - peachy. Recommended profile: 3:5 Suits: HUUB Brownlee Agilis 3:5 HUUB Varman 3:5 HUUB Aegis II 3:5 The Naturally Buoyant Female Swimmer Most women have great natural body positions in the water, sitting nice and high with the legs near the surface. If this is you, you might actually dislike swimming in a wetsuit because it makes you feel unstable, awkward and unable to use your kick as you'd like to. That happens because a high buoyancy wetsuit lifts you too high in the water, leading to instability and causing you to kick into thin air! This is further exacerbated in the ocean where the extra buoyancy from the salt water lifts you even higher. The solution here is to make the whole suit from 3mm neoprene - a low level of buoyancy overall which allows you to sit in a natural position in the water. The difference is remarkable and the thinner suit keeps you looking slim, is super comfortable and easy to get on and off too - smooth! Recommended profile: 3:3 Suits: HUUB Aegis III 3:3 HUUB Brownlee Agilis Womens The Neutral Male Swimmer Many experienced swimmers have good body positions in the water but could still benefit from a small lift at both the back and front to bring their drag down a smidgen. Those with a competitive swimming background normally fall into this bracket. If this is you, 4mm in both the upper and lower body is a nice compromise. It allows you to retain a natural feeling when you swim and if you like to engage your kick you can do that cleanly too. If you've never swum in a wetsuit before you'll be amazed at the extra performance a great suit can bring. Recommended profile: 4:4 Suits: HUUB Brownlee Agilis 4:4 If you have a question about your choice of HUUB wetsuit or sizing of it, then send us an email to [email protected] or simply reply to this email. And don't miss those deals! :
