I bring you workout number 2! This one will tone your full body and your arms. Ladies, this one is going to make you sweat, it is hard, but worth the work! The main muscle focus being your triceps and abdominals, ensuring a full body workout through stability and balance. I encourage you to repeat this video three times in a row and you should be able to complete this in under ten minutes (no breaks
) Do this workout routine three times per week and your body will shape into a beautiful form. I recommend the ROXY “Away Game” sports bra and “hot Competition” shorts…sweat threads create great lines! Have fun! – Shellie

Alexandra, Flora and Stéphanie are about to attain their challenge called Cap-Odyssée: connecting Cap-Breton Canada to Capbreton in the French’s Landes region in paddle board and thanks to the strength of their arms.
The girls, who left the Canadian coasts on July 5th, are looking forward to crossing the finishing line, and start realizing the accomplishment they’ve almost achieved: more than 5000km covered.
Yves Parlier, the patron of the adventure and skipper on the escorting boat, admires their determination.
Roxy not only collaborated closely with the 3 paddle boarders to develop neoprene wetsuits adapted to their challenge, but also organized a meeting with our skipper Samantha Davies to discuss the technical specificities of an everyday life in the Atlantic ocean!
Currently in the Golfe de Gascogne, at less than 200 miles from the arrival, the girls are expected to arrive at 2.30pm tomorrow, Friday, in Capbreton.
The welcoming committee will be gathering for their arrival event in Capbreton. No doubt that this Friday, August 28th will stay in the minds of those three fantastic women who once swore that they would complete their mission, no matter what.
Almost done, girls!
Dernier jour, dernière ligne droite!
Alexandra, Flora et Stéphanie sont en passe de réaliser leur défi Cap-Odyssée: relier Cap-Breton au Canada à Capbreton dans les landes en paddle board et à la force des bras.
Parties le 5 juillet dernier, les filles sont impatientes de franchir la ligne d'arrivée et commencent à se rendre compte de l'exploit quasi réalisé : plus de 5000 km parcourus. Yves Parlier, parrain de l'aventure et skipper du bateau accompagnateur, est admiratif de leur détermination.
Roxy a étroitement collaboré avec les 3 rameuses pour developper des combinaisons en néoprène adaptées à leur défi mais également initié une rencontre avec notre skipper Samantha Davies pour échanger sur les specificités techniques d'un quotidien dans l'océan atlantique!
Actuellement dans le golfe de Gascogne à moins de 200 miles de l'arrivée, les filles sont attendues vers 14h30 demain vendredi à Capbreton
Le comité d'accueil sera à la hauteur de l'événement à Capbreton. Nul doute que ce vendredi 28 août restera dans les mémoires de ces trois drôles de dames qui avaient juré de remplir leur mission, coûte que coûte...
Mission quasi réussie les filles!
Aimee Fuller on the podium in Queenstown
The Roxy snow team have been laying down some great results in the NZ Winter Games in the South Island of New Zealand this last week. Top trumps goes to Aimee Fuller who landed herself a well deserved 3rd place in the ladies slopestyle competition in the Remarkables resort coming just behind TTR star Jamie Anderson and local hero Shelly Gotleib. Roxy team mate Britte Van der Pouw also put down a great performance to take 4th spot showing that the up and coming Roxy riders are a force to contend with.
Meanwhile, in the halfpipe, with doubled up as a FIS World Cup and Olympic Qualifier, Roxy riders Kendall Brown, Lisa Wiik, Mirabelle Thovex and Lesley McKenna battled with horrendous weather conditions in the form of 80km an hour winds and driving snow. Somehow the competition went ahead in the windows of weather where the riders could see the pipe and down to some pretty impressive organisation on the part of Cardrona Alpine Resort and the NZ Winter Games Team the competition was rescued from weather oblivion. The standard of riding was exceptionally high with riders from all over the world trying to secure their Olympic spots. In the ladies competition it was Chinese ripper Jiylui Lui who took the top spot with Kelly Clark and Gretchen Bleiler taking second and third. Team Roxy put on a good performance with the scores of the riders between 10th place and 30th place being very very tight. Kendall, Mirabelle and Lesley all finished well inside the top 30 they need to be in for Olympic qualifications, although none of the girls had the best day of their riding careers. Lisa was well on track to be inside the top 30 as well but had a few sketches which saw her finish just outside the top 30 cut in the end. Roxy team riders Torah Bright, Kjersti Buaas and Paulina Ligoska were conspicuous by their absence, being the only other top pipe riders in the world not at the contest due to injury or prior commitments. They are all already well inside the top 30 though so with a bit of luck Roxy will be very well represented come the Olympic Games!

In between training for the NZ Games Aimee and Lisa took some time out to do a bit of sight seeing. From very high up! They had the time of their lives sky diving with Wanaka Ski Diving, getting to view the amazing NZ scenery from a very different perspective.

The girls are heading back to Europe now to catch the end of summer back home before hitting up the European glaciers for the autumn training sessions.

Johanne Defay crowned European Junior Champion for 2009
Johanne, 15 years old, comes from Reunion Island, she is being competing in the pro junior tour since 2 years now. She trained a lot and stayed really focused on the tour all during the season this year. She deserves the title and it makes her even more motivated to start competing in the WQS tour in 2010. She took part in her first WQS this year and did great. It was the South African 5 star event (MR.price pro in Durban) where she went through 2 rounds, unfortunatly the event had to be cancelled because of the huge swell. Johanne likes big waves, that is one of her strenght. We hope that she will express herself even more in the WQS now!
Johanne Defay - Championne d'Europe Junior 2009
Johanne, 15 ans, vient de l'île de la Reunion, elle prend part au tour junior en Europe depuis 2 ans seulement et remporte donc le titre pour 2009. Notre petite surfeuse est restée focus tout au long du tour, elle a beaucoup progressé et appris de ses adversaires et amies. Elle a bien mérité cette victoire! La voici donc plus motivée que jamais pour entamer la saison des WQS en 2010. Elle s'y est frottée pour la première fois en Afrique du Sud cette année en passant les 2 premiers tours, malheureusement l'evenement a dû être annulé pour cause de houle trop conséquente. Johanne est une jeune fille qui aime les gros swell, c'est une de ses forces. Nous esperons qu'elle pourra davantage s'exprimer encore l'année prochaine!
Although most people in the Northern hemisphere are in full summer swing some of the European Roxy Snow Team are loving the return to winter down under in New Zealand. Aimee Fuller and Britte Van Der Pouw have been shredding with Roxy coach and fellow Roxy rider, Lesley McKenna, who has been putting them through their paces. The girls have been learning lots of new tricks and the training is definitely paying off with Britte scoring a very respectable 10th place in the Burton NZ Slopestyle TTR event last week. Aimee who was also looking good in the qualification and was sitting in 4th place after the first run, just missed out making the semis after just sketching out on a massif backflip off the first kicker. Britte joined fellow Roxy ripper Lisa Wiik in the semis of the slopestyle where she came 10th. Lisa rode really well but did not put down a totally clean run and finished in 9th place. With an 11th place in the half pipe Lisa has got off to a very strong start in the TTR points standings.
