The AIRWAAV Performance Mouthpiece Is Competition Tested and Proven
AIRWAAV Athletes took the stage at Semifinals and earned their ticket to the CrossFit Games. If you were watching the competition, you may have noticed they all have something in their mouth..
What’s that thing in their mouth and why are they wearing it?
