O’Neill’s “Don’t Get Burned” Athletic Wear for Paddlers

In a revolutionary design, O’Neill protects paddlers on the water using a Hydrophobic HyperDry Technology in their rash guard series with a 4-way stretch and overlock stitching. O’Neill’s fabric is soft to the touch and dries faster than standard cotton. It’s a great looking defense against the sun’s harmful UV rays. Each product in the Hybrid series is made using a super lightweight material that keeps a paddler feeling cool and fresh all day long.

O’Neill’s Hybrid Men’s Hoodie:  4-way stretch & lightweight for paddling

Tom Taylor of Paddleboard Orlando says:

“After using the Hybrid series in my own outdoor lifestyle, I can attest to the outstanding quality and construction. I first used O’Neill’s Hybrid full zip hoodie for a Florida padding adventure along the Silver River. The hoodie was very cozy on a brisk, cool morning.  I appreciated the durable full-zip up the front to adjust the fit and feel to my liking as I paddled.

Also, the zippable pockets kept my snacks and car keys safe from falling out. O’Neill’s 4-way stretch fabric made the hoodie SUPer comfortable and easy to paddle in. I wore it throughout the 5-mile paddle and its U.P.F. 50+ Ultraviolet Protection kept me safe & shielded from the Florida sun. After loading our boards, my wife and I decided to end our trip at a popular lunch spot. I was still dry even after the long paddle and felt stylish enough in the hoodie to wear it up onto the docks and to lunch. We were both so impressed with this product!”

O’Neill Women’s Hybrid Full Zip Hoodie & Long Sleeve V-neck success

My wife tested the Women’s Long Sleeve Full Zip Hoodie and Women’s Long Sleeve V-neck. Both performed above standard both on and off the water. From pre-dawn surf sessions to sunset paddles on the lake, the O’Neill Hybrid Series kept my wife protected from biting insects and the harsh sun.

Both of us loved the comfort and feel of O’Neill’s tech 4-way stretch fabric every time we paddled. These items will continue to be worn to many of our outdoor paddle adventures.”

Evelyn O’Doherty

Evelyn O’Doherty, owner & publisher of the new Standup Journal 2.0, worked her way up the ranks in the world of stand up paddling. A former surfer gone rogue, Evelyn stepped onto a SUP for the first time in 2009 when a plaguing neck injury kept her out of the water from surfing. Discovering the core benefits and expanded perspective on the water that stand up paddling brings, Ev immediately was hooked. She became a strong SUP racer in the North East and a year-round SUP surfer, gathering multiple top brand sponsorships including becoming a team rider for Starboard SUP and a national ambassador for Kialoa, as well as celebrating all aspects of the sport with additional brand ambassadorships including lululemon athletica, Clif Bar, Cobian, Kaenon & Indo Board. Her love of watersports and commitment to advocacy in preserving our marine environments led to a short film made with The Nature Conservancy as part of their Clean Water initiatives on Long Island, NY, called “A New Perspective”. Evelyn just keeps paddling. Today, she’s stepped up to take over the helm at Standup Journal after having worked for the magazine for 2 years as senior online editor. Her dedication and belief in the power of print to immerse readers in the watersports they love even if they don’t have access to the water in a daily existence plus a powerful desire to spotlight the amazing people doing rad sh*t on the water is what drives her vision for Standup Journal 2.0. Evelyn welcomes the conversation about how to make the magazine benefit as many people as possible and encourages feedback, letters to the editor and communication at editor@standupjournal.com . Now, as owner/publisher for Standup Journal., Evelyn continues to live in East Hampton NY where she has daily access to the water. When the swell is working, you can find her in Montauk rattling around in her Ford Ranger surfboards hanging out the back headed for points East.
