Where it all began…. My story of how I got into SUP…part 1
About 6 years ago, upon purchasing the cheapest most basic stand up paddle board (🤣 I’d never recommend doing this but I hadn’t any idea back then about boards 🤦🏼♀️) and wanting to learn and take up the activity as a hobby, I learned of PaddleFit and signed up for the PaddleFit Core Certification. Here in Wrightsville Beach I learned the very basics and foundation of SUP.
A few years later my job put together a guided sunset paddle tour amongst coworkers. The then stand_and_paddle owner, Roddy, saw me paddling and inquired why I was on such a basic board 🙈🤷🏼♀️.
The next summer he sold me my first two ‘real’ paddle boards (one was a 14’ race board) and invited me to collaborate on creating a SUP fitness class (which he’d provide the boards and equipment, I’d run the workout). paddlefusedfitness was born.

Oh, well. I guess you had to be there.
Turns out that watching rain fall on Kennedy Lake from your car at dusk is a thing. Glad I brought my bitter_end_yacht_club rain jacket (2010 Pro-Am Regatta) because I had the lake to myself. Add a few more layers (sheltahats on top, florence_marine_x Abyss hooded jacket, long sleeve rash guard, and Airtex Gamma boardshorts) and it was actually a comfortable way to say Adios to March.

Preventing injuries is crucial in SUP. The repetitive movements can lead to overuse injuries, but we're here to offer assistance.
It makes us happy when our coaches get together outside of paddling.

These 2 beautiful souls… we met in Canada over 10 years ago through paddlefit and have since met again in California, Wilmington, Turks & Caicos (not once but 4 times!), and now Asheville. They drove all the way down from Michigan for a dinner and a hug (well, there may have been others along the way to visit too!). I am SO blessed to call Lance and Peecoon Family and have all the amazing memories we have. Here’s to more laughs my lifies! ♥️ I love our paddling community.

When you can't paddle you need to get out there and work. What is your favorite workout to help get you in shape for paddling?
Spring is here and safety should be your top priority. Check out our PFD video.
Here is a great message from one of our coaches.
Spring is right around the corner. And with warmer weather making an appearance early, we want to remind you now…
LIFE JACKETS REQUIRED
🛟Adults must have them on board.
🛟Youth 12u MUST be wearing them.
There are MANY more details to these laws, but let’s start with that. And if you want to know more, visit: https://www.uscgboating.org.
Or give us a call, we’d be happy to answer any questions you might have. 🛟
As a certified PadeleFit Instructor, we also offer lessons!
There’s no better way to be prepared than to get more confident on your board or kayak.
We can’t wait to see you all, SAFELY, on the water this summer. 😎💦🙌🏻 ( #📷 )

Ever wonder the correct way to load your board on your car?? Here you go!
What did you do over the weekend?
Coach Chris had fun!
Because the ocean looks a sort of green in this photo…if you squint…If that doesn’t help, try a Guinness with a shot of Jameson’s and we’ll worry about it later. Or not.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
