THE LOVE OF PADDLE START
The first time I tried SUP was in 2014 at a cottage for my birthday. I was instantly hooked! I appreciated the oneness with nature & freedom it allowed me to experience. I quickly started practicing yoga poses on the board (just for fun!) and fell in love with the extra aspect of mindfulness yoga on a board requires.

The Funwater product that you use, how's the feeling of it: I’ve been using the Polar Bear SUP. Its a great entry level all around board. Good dimensions for yoga as well! I recently tried the Tuxedo Penguin board and loved how sleek it is. It’s shorter thus more manoeuvrable.
As a gift, my husband subsequently bought me my first paddleboard & paid for my certification courses. I am forever grateful. Since then, I’ve been teaching SUP & SUP yoga classes & certifications here in Canada!
