In this episode we introduce you to some of the key skills you need as a SUp'r on the water and as a reminder it's always worth developing your skills with an instructor as they can give you feedback and advice in a way that YouTube simply can't
Vikki Weston from Sydney Australia makes her second appearance on the show and has made it her mission through her organisation, 'She SUPs' to help support and provide knowledge for women to get on the water and start having their own adventure.
Vikki has also founded her own community of female paddlers and to find out more then head on over to https://www.shesups.com.au/ or https://www.shesupscommunity.com/
If you love Instagram then you'll have already discovered Vikki's excellent stories and reels and if not, then go check them out at @shesups_
In Season 4 of the podcast we're giving a shout out to the SUP instructors who work hard to help new and improving paddlers engage with the sport, and get equipped with the skills they need.
In this episode we feature Kylie from the Sunshine Coast in Australia at https://paddledays.com/
If you're a certified instructor from anywhere across the world, then we'd like to feature you on an episode. Simply leave us a message here with your name, your certifying body and a message about you and where you are, with a tip, piece or advice or even a nice word about the podcast ;)
