Paddle Boarding: Killer Fitness on the Outer Banks!

We've talked about Devin Saylor's Outer Banks Paddle Boarding School before. It''s a lot of fun, and its a great way to workout when it's hot out. Classes are flexible and the teacher's a great guy and all around super athlete. And since it's been so hot,  our assistant Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor  Leo Saraceni decided to work off some of the extra weight he put on when his mom came to visit with a watery workout.  Read more

Devin Saylor's Outer Banks Paddle Board School

So as if Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Matt Costa's Psychoca-err...Boot Camp weren't enough options for fitness on the Outer Banks, we're now offering another way to keep you motivated to stay in shape. Devin Saylor is starting the first Outer Banks Paddle Board School's classes next week!

Paddle Boarding = Fun

Devin has been offering individual instructional classes for a while, but now he'll be offering a full beginner's level course. It's a great way to learn to paddle board without having to pay an instructor an arm and a leg for private lessons. Everyone who's gone has loved it, and it is a fun way to get in shape. There will be two camps: one in the AM and one in the PM.

Even our fearless leader is getting in on the action!

The Break Down:

  • It's a six day beginner's course.
  • May 11 & 12, 17 & 18 and 23 & 24
  • Classes are about 90 minutes
  • AM camp is at 8:30, PM camp is 5:30
  • All equipment is provided
  • Both sound and ocean, dependent on the weather
  • Only 14 spots total. Seven in the AM and seven in the PM

Devin, who also does Ocean Rescue,  has a full curriculum that begins with teaching safety and progresses into beginner stand-up paddle technique. After that, students will advance at their own pace.

If you want more info, make sure you check out the Outer Banks Paddle Board School on Facebook. This is a great way to stay in shape while learning a new skill just in time for summer.

Arenacross Comes to KnuckleUp!

That's right, KnuckleUp isn't just about fighting and fitness on the Outer Banks anymore. Our newest member is bringing a little motorcycle mayhem our way.  Devon Pilkington is a professional Arenacross racer! How awesome is that?

Devon is a Virginia native who has just started coming to the gym recently.  For those not in the loop, Arenacross is held in an arena (obviously), has a dirt track, and a lot of jumps. Try holding on to your bike when your flying through the air at 50 mph. It takes a lot of strength, and Devon picked KnuckleUp as his place to get conditioned, working with Matt in the kickboxing class.

This is Devon's first full season as a professional racer.  He's got a sweet new bike and is confident he can make something happen this season. Pilkington has quietly become a role player in the AMA Arenacross Lites Eastern Regional championship. Through four races, he has finished inside the top 10 each time, including three top fives highlighted by a podium finish of third. He is also a 5-time State Champion.  So this native son certainly has the credentials.

Good luck with the rest of the season Devon! If anyone will get you in the shape you want, it's KnuckleUp!
