I've always been the reader and movie-lover in my friend group. The way that stories and characters inspire me to be the best version of myself touches my soul in a way that nothing else does. I was already an imaginative child, but after my family moved across our state, I spent all of middle school connecting with fictional words and characters, so I spoke to relationship expert Elizabeth Earnshaw, LMFT, for a look at why our bonds with fictional characters are so strong.

I've always been the reader and movie-lover in my friend group. The way that stories and characters inspire me to be the best version of myself touches my soul in a way that nothing else does. I was already an imaginative child, but after my family moved across our state, I spent all of middle school connecting with fictional words and characters, so I spoke to relationship expert Elizabeth Earnshaw, LMFT, for a look at why our bonds with fictional characters are so strong.

As I aged, I felt like I was growing up with my favorite characters, from The Chronicles of Narnia's Lucy Pevensie to the various superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As someone who's on the quieter side, it's always been inspiring to see characters that are brave under pressure because it makes me feel like I can be brave, too.

"Fictional romances can make us believe that our own romances should look exactly as we see them on the screen," Earnshaw says. "The same with how friendships and family relationships might be represented. But in real life, relationships are more complex and include day-to-day interactions which can't possibly be demonstrated on TV."

With so many shows and movies available, it takes no time at all to fall out of one hyperfixation and into another, but Earnshaw says that's not necessarily a bad thing. "Remind yourself that it's okay to have a fantasy! It is also okay to admire a character. I think it's super important not to have shame around this," she says. "And then, use that admiration and fantasy to consider what it means for your real life — what are you hoping for? What type of connections do you need?"

When SUP enthusiasts asked 'can you put a motor on it?', we answered with the Rover Micro Skiff. When they asked 'what else can we float on?', we responded with a line of inflatable kayaks and inflatable docks. And when they asked 'can we get power on our boards?', well, we just couldn't resist creating a solution.




From the start, our unofficial motto has been to 'build cool shit'. And by using the Grab Rac as a muse, a perfect companion for paddle board fishing, the guys got to work splicing electric force with a design to hold all your SUP fishing accessories, and the Power Rac was born.

Specifically designed for the Rackham Paddle Board and Rover Micro Skiff due to their front positioned Rac Receivers, the Power Rac energizes your board and keeps you out longer, farther. Easier than 'plug and play', just insert into the Rac Receivers, power on, and peace out.


The Grab Rac alone is a kickass solution to your SUP fishing needs, but powering it with a rechargeable battery makes it, well, just better.

"For those of you that know, you know. If you ever had flashlights on the deck of your board to light stuff up. Or if you had to hand hold GPS's. Or don't have a place for fishing rods. Or need some place to plug in a speaker. Or when you're hanging out at a sandbar and you want to just power up your phone. You know. That's what this product is for."

When you're all about the lifestyle, it doesn't take long for the great outdoors to remind us that we're not alone--even in the most remote SUP destinations. Whether paddling quietly deep in the seagrass or trying to maintain balance while reeling in a catch, there's a lot going on beneath the surface whether we see it or not. So when unexpected creatures rear their ugly--and honestly, sometimes really cute--heads, you have to stop and appreciate the moment.
