It started with two boards....(a brief SUP "herstory" in 200 words)

Actually...it started with a Groupon and
my friend Jen. 
2013.  
​She said. “Wanna try this SUP thing?”
“Sure.” I said.   
75 minutes.  SUP rental.  
Lake Wheeler. Raleigh. 
Blue sky. Calm water. Balance.  
Totally and completely hooked.
Love at first paddle.

​Fast forward to Christmas.  
Santa brought me two boards. 
Must’ve been really well-behaved that year.  
2014. Practiced. Researched.  
SUP combined everything I love.
Yoga. Water. Balance. Strength. Activity. Stillness.
“I have to share this with others.”  
Family. Friends. Students. 
Small classes.  Full classes.  Unique.
Nobody else teaching it around here.  
“I am meant to share this with others.”  

Certifications.  Jen and I went to Austin, TX.  
WPA paddle instructor. Fitness Onboard.  
SUP fit well with all my yoga and
group fitness certifications.
Ready.   

Investment.  10 SUP ATX boards.  HUGE step. 
Small trailer.  The garage is full.
Understanding husband.  :-)
Indoors classes.  Bigger outdoors classes.
Jordan Lake. Chapel Hill. Pittsboro. Hillsborough. Greater Triangle area. 
Word spreading.  

2015. Added SUP Fitness to my Duke courses. 
2016. Private bookings. Moms’ groups.  
Parties. Community classes. 
Corporate events. Staff retreats.  

More growth.  Added 8 more boards.  
​Ack!  How to transport? 
2017.
​14-foot trailer.  This just got real friends.  
Excited.  2017 season is here. 
Sharing the #SUPlove ​one paddle at a time.
