REFLECTIONS 2012

What a year to be grateful for!  We had the opportunity to get more people on the water paddling, to get more people strengthening & stretching with HOT Yoga, to get more people FIT and SMILING.  We were able to get more involved with the local community and host a SUP race that benefitted local charities. We were able to host some birthday parties, Girls gatherings and Kids SUP clinics.
It has been a wonderful privilege to touch so many lives through fitness and to see SUP growing.

We were able to attend some very cool races- theOrange Bowl Championship, Wrightsville Beach Biathlon, the Carolina Cup, Kent Island Race, SUP Annapolis Race, the East of Maui Eastport Race, Paddle for Humanity, Onancock Race, Sandbridge Hei-Hei  Race, the Battle of the Paddle, Surf to Sound Challenge and the Paddle Royal in Puerto Rico.  Each race was unique in itself(weather conditions can do this) and offered plenty of socializing with other paddlers.
 
 
We are looking forward to 2013 and the growth that the business, the sport and the Staff will encounter. 

 

We are kicking off the year with a

Women’s Wellness Seminar on January 7th 6:30pm

 at the Red Door Community Center, 3rd St in OC and hope you can join us.

Welcome & Paddle Royal, San Juan Puerto Rico


Welcome to the OC SUP & Fitness BLOG!

We hope to keep you informed on fun classes, special events, training, races and any other random topic that might be fitness inspired!

I had the privilege to go to the Paddle Royal in San Juan , Puerto Rico last weekend! My friend and fellow paddler Kim Sutton from Wrightsville Beach joined me after it took a bit to twist her wrist-but we both agreed it was well worth it.

Amazing racers from all over the world gathered for two days of SUP Racing! Day One was the long distance race which included paddling in both the ocean and flat water. Day Two consisted of 4 sprint courses, varying from 300 meters to over a mile.

The long course took you by Old San Juan which was picture perfect until the side swell came and knocked me off my board! You then entered through an inlet and a rain storm came just in time to cool you off.  The flat water course took you by a ton of boats and a cruise ship which I tried to use a draft protection as much as possible since there was a headwind! You finished in a gorgeous lagoon in Condado!

As much as I enjoyed the racing, I think my favorite parts of the weekend were the slide at our hotel pool and the Aquaglide, which reminded me of the Wipe Out show.

If you think you need an excuse to visit Puerto Rico this event is a perfect choice.  Top racers, great courses and beautiful scenery and a tan to take home!
Paddle On,
Dawn
