It’s been quite a journey these past few years for me and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing people. To be nominated for this award is pretty cool and it inspires me even more to work on other projects that will allow me to continue to spread the stoke of SUP and how it’s a great way to transform lives.

There are many fellow athletes that push the envelope everyday and take this sport to the most extreme levels, and it’s certainly fun to see this sport touch so many lives, all ages at all levels.  But what’s great about stand up paddling is that it’s one sport virtually anyone can do. All of my SUP training clients are athletes to me, and anyone who paddles is an ambassador.

So, thanks to my sponsors and to all who’ve gotten me this far and I hope to keep going further with your help.  I’d sincerely appreciate your vote!  My other Naish team mates, Karen and Jenny are also nominated as well as our Maui girls Andrea and Talia!  Give them some love too!
