Review: Abysup SUP123 Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board (iSUP) (North Shore)

Read: 7 mins.Standup paddle boarding had been such great fun while socially distancing amidst the COVID-19 pandemic last year. It also helped us bond with our children, and not long after, many friends joined in with boards of their own. Their favorite was the beginner-friendly Runwave Kohala inflatable stand up paddle board (iSUP) that also had proved quite popular around the harbor we paddled at. In this review, I took a look at the Abysup SUP123 (North Shore) iSUP whose dimensions put it right between the Runwave and my slightly-more advanced DvSport Sunshine. In other words, it should appeal to both beginners and those more experienced/transitioning to the intermediate level.

Review: GVM RGB LED Video Light 50W 1200D (2-Pack Kit) For Photographers, Videographers

Read: 3 mins.Great Video Maker (GVM) released an updated model of its RGB LED lighting kit with the GVM 1200D. Its lights had easily replaced my previous lighting kits for studio and on-location outdoor photography. The versatility of having RGB control opens up a wide variety of shooting scenarios and would (or should) greatly appeal to videographers or vlogger/YouTube content makers.

Review: Costway 53 Quart Dual-Temperature Car Freezer/Fridge with Wheels (EP24413/24413-CYPE) (53qt/50L/50 Liters)

Read: 15 mins.It has been nearly a year since I purchased my first 12V/110V car freezer, and since then I had reviewed and compared six of them. All were coincidentally rebranded units manufactured by Alpicool, but they lacked features I increasingly longed for: dual-temperature storage zones, transport wheels, removable wire racks, drain hole, and remote app control. The Costway 53qt car freezer was a popular, affordable choice among outdoorsy people with the additional properties I was looking for. Was it better than my favorite Foho appliances? In nearly every way, YES... Almost!

Review: Merach Pocket Massage Gun Nano (Gray Silver) (and Kica K2 Mini Massage Gun)

Read: 4 mins."Percussion massage guns were a fad", I thought until my sister-in-law lent me hers for a week. I later found it relaxing for my sore shoulders, stiff neck, and lower back after sitting in front of the computer for nearly half an entire day for several days a week. There was one problem with these massagers: they were TOO large and unwieldy to bring for travels. Research eventually led me to the Merach Pocket Massage Gun Nano as the lightest and one of the smallest massage guns available today. I gave it a try.

Review: Evercross H5 Electric Scooter with Seat (vs Joyor X5S) Hitway

Read: 15 mins.Nearly a year ago, I reviewed my first-ever, electric scooter. It opened my eyes to the thrill of exploring town on a zippy, nimble transport, but standing for a prolonged period of time became tiring at times. Did the Evercross/Hitway H5 with its seat, more powerful motor, 30 mph top speed, and funky, dynamic LED lights along the deck make rides more fun and comfortable? In this review, I compared both scooters.
