Favorite SUP Experience:
Solo paddle around Anastasia Island, FL for a local charity (raised $5,000). The 32.5 mile journey took 9 hours 30 minutes. I had only been on an SUP for 2 months. I did the trip on a regular surf-style board because I couldn’t get a hold of a race-style board. I saw more wildlife that day on the water than I ever had before. It was one of those days that absolutely confirms why I share the SUP lifestyle every day! I will definitely be repeating the trip every year for a cause.
Which paddlers inspire you?
Chuck Patterson and Danny Ching – both are powerhouses that use their muscular builds very well.
What are your plans for 2011?
To train hard and try to catch up to all the fast, fast paddlers out there! I’d love to compete as much as possible on the East Coast and Gulf Coast and make an impact on the SUP community! Spreading the growth of the best water sport out there…SUP on a Starboard!
