Mocean365 Movement Adventures

So great to see all of the great progress and FUN in the world of movement adventures at Mocean365. Both from individuals and classes are full of people having fun in the outdoors first and then enjoying all of the benefits of that fun after. People are taking their shoes off, getting dirty and finding stuff on their own to get into trouble with from Downhill Mountain Biking to hiking, parkour and obstacle racing, zip lining and much more.
Here are some pics of people in action, contact us of you want to join The Mocean365 Movement Adventure!

Mocean365 And LOOPTWORKS

Always on the lookout for brands and companies that have similar missions. A eye for adventure, focus on quality and sustainability.Recently Meg Walsh(Rootswise/Mocean Mate') were chosen to be "Secret Agents" for one such company that is producing some amazing clothing and accessories with a very noble mission. The company is called LOOPTWORKS and is based out of Portland Oregon. We have got right to work testing the clothing and spreading the word and are very pleased with it overall. LOOPTWORKS is dedicated to "Upcycling" which is that repurposes abandoned materials into meaningful, long-lasting and limited-edition products. By re-using the world’s pre-consumer excess, the U.S.-based company aims to rid the world of waste while inspiring a generation to reduce their impact on the planet. The inaugural line includes jackets hoodies, skirts, shirts and graphic t-shirts for both men and women.
So NO new materials are used in their process and that is really incredible. Check them out and order up something and see for yourselves. Below are a few shots of some of their stuff. We will be regularly updating so stay tuned!

Peak Races McNaughton Ultra

Spring has sprung and the fun, adventures and even a little torture are here.
A few of us recently went down to Pittsfield VT to run in the Peak Races,McNaughton Ultra Trail Run.
One guy who i've been training for a year plus went out and killed it! Chris Thompson showed a lot of heart and drive as he blasted out 3 ten mile laps that had over 2,400 feet of elevation gain per lap and lots of technical up and down.
Got a little antsy the night before the run and the organizer let me head out and do some laps via headlamp. did one lap with Will Castle then headed back out for another before getting a few hours of sleep and limped through another lap due to an injury but got my 30 which is more miles than i've run total my whole life i'm pretty sure. Will woke up the next day and did 3 more laps plus Death Race Training. The kid is on fire!

We were rocking the Mocean Mate' tent, keeping runners fueled up throughout the day and early evening. good times.
big congrats to Chris, Will and big ups to the race organizer, Andy at Peak Races for having us. And we couldn;t have done it without our support crew, Meg and Bethany!
