Her passion and drive for windsurfing launched her into a professional windsurfing career. After graduating from Culinary school, she moved to Maui and begin touring on the PWA World tour. Competing on the World tour for a couple years, she found Maui to offer the best conditions and arena to excel in.
Being a part of the Pro Star-board team, Tiffany has access to many of the new SUP boards and prototype’s. A new comer to the sport of SUP, she quickly embraced the up and coming sport with open arms.
”SUP is a good intro to the ocean for new comers and provide an excellent workout/training for all water-enthusiast”.

 Aloha and Merry Christmas! As we approach the New Year, it’s time for many of us to take special inventory of family, life and our own personal health. I am so thankful for being on Maui and to stand up paddle or surf on Christmas; a tradition in my house!
Not everyone is as lucky to live in Maui, eat fresh fish, and simply enjoy the natural healthy lifestyle that surrounds us. But even if you are in the coldest place in the world, you can embrace health even in the simplest ways:
1. Make YOU a priority each and every day to exercise or do an activity you enjoy.
2.Embrace your life as it is today, and strive hard to make everlasting healthy lifestyle choices. Surround yourself with people that challenge you, inspire you and believe in you. It really makes a difference! I like to surf or do sports with people that are pretty aggressive. It keeps me on my toes and makes me a better surfer. I also have several mentors that act as my compass. Who is your compass?
3. Look in the mirror and like what you see. Having a healthy body image and loving yourself inside and out is contagious and I think very attractive.
People with negative body images have a greater likelihood of developing an eating disorder and are more likely to suffer from feelings of depression, isolation, low self-esteem and obsessions with weight loss.
I often come across training clients who have a vision of how they want to see themselves vs. who they really are and how their bodies are made. Genetics, medical conditions and other physiological factors play a role in how our bodies take shape.
4. Forget New Years resolutions…. they don’t work. Chunk it down and be realistic with your fitness goals. People expect not to keep their resolutions so it’s almost self defeating. Treat your goals as a process or journey. Reward yourself with a new workout top, new surf board, or whatever makes you happy!
Lastly, reflect back and see where you are now and where you want to go; in life, love and health.
Wishing you all that you love to come your way. Be strong in every step you take. Try something new!
Happy Holidays,
Suzie www.suzietrainsmaui.com

I’d like to introduce to you Anne-Marie Reichman, professional team rider for Starboard to lead the long distance paddle for STAND UP For Women’s Health & Fitness Event, at the Four Seasons Resort Maui, Wailea Beach, January 9, 2010.
She is a delight and really rips! As a professional water woman, her experience will be welcomed and an inspiration to all. More about Anne-Marie:
The first of November 1974 Anne-Marie Valeria Reichman was born in Leeuwarden, a city in the northern province of the Netherlands. She started with classical ballet, jazz ballet and piano lessons early in life. At 16 years old she chose to focus on her latest passion; windsurfing. It led her to many lakes (flat water) all over the country and to a Dutch championship title at 19 years old. After high school she chose Scheveningen as her new home; a cute little fishing town on the Dutch west coast. Competitions were over now, for she studied on the Sport Academy and learned to windsurf in the Dutch North Sea waves. Good times. A few years later her first international travels started in countries like Denmark, Sweden, South Africa and Maui (’97). There she got introduced to the big waves and got infected again with the virus to compete; this time in the windsurfing discipline WAVE. Her debut in the PWA (professional windsurfing association) World Cup was in ’98. Besides competing, Anne-Marie made a pact with herself to travel to a new country or place every year to discover the world, new cultures, different languages and off course new waves. She wrote down her travel experiences for magazines and published them on the internet. In 2002, a few years into ‘the tour’, she made it into the top 3 world wide. Not only is Anne-Marie a professional windsurfer, she also is a passionate surfer and Stand Up Paddler making the most of every condition the ocean provides. Yoga and (art) painting are her other passions. These activities create balance in her sometimes hectic life. Instead of only enjoying this lifestyle herself, she makes it her goal to share it with other people around the world during clinics, interviews, promotion activities and events. By doing what she loves to do most, she wants to motivate and inspire them to follow their dreams and passions in life. Her motto being: “Dream of life, live your dream”. Anne-Marie now lives (most of the year) in Maui, Hawaii. The perfect island for an active, professional, passionate ocean water woman.

Aloha friends,
I’d like to introduce to you a friend and client who has been brave enough to share her new adventures as a water woman of Maui. Suki is a special person who has  conquered many physical challenges and recently, surprised herself as she discovered a new found strength on the ocean. Her story is touching, comical and I think we all can relate! Suki will be one of our inspirational guest speakers on January 9, 2010 at STAND UP For Women’s Health & Fitness.
Suki’s SUP
Suki Halevi came to Maui two years ago. Suki had never exercised regularly, but she started doing the workout routine that I created for her as part of my introductory training series. She was also among the nine women out on the water on my first Stand Up to Slim Down Saturday. Here’s her story—
Everyone has their life challenges. I’ve got numbness in my feet and legs, damage to my pelvic area and impaired balance, caused by a rare immuno-neurologic illness 22 years ago. No one can see my disabilities, but I deal with them daily. A big part of my ongoing challenge is learning that I can do a lot more than I think I can. That’s where SUP comes in.
 I was as excited as a little kid the night before Suzie’s Stand Up to Slim Down Saturday, with a whopping 12’ borrowed board strapped on my car. Out beyond the breaking waves, I hopped up and instantly fell off the board. My vision of SUP heaven vanished as my inner voice declared, “You can’t do this.”
I wanted it so much, I pushed that dark shadow away, climbed back on the board, and stood up. I had a pretty good paddle, out with the Suzie and the women warriors of the waves, but the real test was yet to come. Two weeks later, I rented an 11’6” and headed back to North Kihei alone.
Sunday afternoon–
What a mess! Right after I picked up the board, the wind came up. I didn’t want to miss the chance to be on the water, so I drove back to our spot in North Kihei. As I got out of the car, I realized I had no place to put the car key. In a flash of inspiration, I took off my necklace, strung the key, and put it back on, making sure the screw-clasp was good and tight.

 “Your event takes such a great approach to health, fitness and fun…we would love to help out” says Dave Siragusa, Maui Jim’s sponsorship and event specialist.
Maui Jim will be providing over 25 prizes in the constantly growing “Grand Raffle Event” including 6 pairs of Maui Jim premium sunglasses! Other prizes include their high quality logo beach towels, visors and clothing. “It’s an amazing and very generous contribution. We’re really excited to have such a high end, globally recognized brand originating from Maui involved in this event. Their glasses are incredibly well designed and a functionally superior product to what’s available on the market, and while living here, we really need it. All of our contributing sponsors are really stepping up to make this a fantastic day for our guests.” says event co-host Tommy Callan of Beach Boy Events.
Maui Jim patented proprietary technology keeps the sunny days crisp and distortion free, while keeping the occasional overcast, cloudy days brighter and more clear.
What was once a small sunglass company started in the old whaling town of Lahaina, Maui in the early 1980’s has evolved into an international optical leader in premium eyewear.
Maui Jim sunglasses achieves this extraordinary task by eliminating 100% of UV light and makes reference to UVA as “Aging” light known as “long wave” light which contributes to the aging of skin and tanning.
A patented 9 layer design including a water proof coating, an anti-reflective “bounce back” layer which prevents eye fatigue, a scratch resistant clear coat, and an optically correct distortion free lens that is bonded to a proprietary polarizing film to eliminate glare and transmit more usable light, insures that your view is the best view! And with over fifty styles to choose from, it’s safe to say that other’s “view” of you will be pretty good too.
So come join the Aloha and learn how to do the fastest growing water sport in the world on the beautiful island of Maui at Four Seasons Resort. Stand Up Paddle Surfing (SUP) is making surfers out of everyone. You’ve seen the “Stars” do it … now it’s YOUR turn! SUP will improve your balance, endurance, strength and mindset. Receive patient, guided instruction from professional instructors and experience the feeling of the “surfer’s glide”.
“STAND UP for Women’s Health & Fitness” is a FREE, non-competitive event to promote healthy lifestyle choices, self-confidence and breast cancer education for women through sport, nutrition and self awareness. You’ll not only enjoy learning to SUP, but also to Hula! Enjoy inspirational guest speakers, plenty of healthy treats and fun prizes. Maybe you’ll even win your own pair of Maui Jim glasses!
