Results by Pacific Sport Events and Timing

These atheletes are in amazing shape and train hard to compete in an event like this. Time on the water, focus, discipline, cross-training and fine tuning each stroke is what it takes. Core training, strength training and being well hydrated and knowing your body’s limits and when you can push it, also help in an excellent time result.

As a SUP enthusiast, athlete, and fitness specialist I’ve seen the transformations of how specific exercises that include upper body endurance, core training as well as balance training  definitely make a difference in one’s performance. 

Don’t forget to call Kelly Moore of Moore Water Time to get you to down the coast faster and enjoy a cool ride. Kelly, I heard you had a full van for this race!

If I can help you enjoy stand up paddling more, lean you out, or condition your body to pass your competitor at the next event, email me or call me.
