MY STORY:

I started paddle boarding 10 years ago at a friend’s beach party. I loved the freedom and how calm it made me feel as I was gliding across the water. A couple years went by and life just kind of happened. Work got stressful and took up most of my time. It wasn’t until I was in a freak accident where I almost lost my hand that made me take a step back to appreciate my body. It’s funny how we don’t appreciate our body and health until we realize what life will be like without it. I started paddle boarding again to rehabilitate my hand. It was then that I fell in love with the sport. I then became a paddle board instructor. Life is short. If we spend it miserable, why are we doing what we do?

There’s so much more to paddle boarding than most people realize. It literally is the most versatile activity you can do. It can be super intense. People train hours and hours a day to get ready for international races. Others use it as an crazy, effective cardio workout. Some use it for yoga for balance and wellness, while others for surfing. Lastly for many people, paddle boarding is for leisure. You can casually paddle board just like you can casually ride a bike. You can Explore new places and enjoy the beautiful nature that surrounds us. This water sport was design so you can do whatever you want with it and get whatever you want from it. If you’re someone like me who’s work life can be exhaustingly stressful at times then hop on a board, and let that stress go. My hope is that this website gives you the necessary tools to enjoy not just paddle boarding but life. Until next time, I’ll see you on the water!
