Back when he spent every day on the water with me, right up until the day before he came into the world. 🥰 How time flies.

Happy Birthday Brantley Bug ✨

Get Outside and Paddle 🤙

We’re so lucky to live at the confluence of three beautiful rivers! One of my absolute favorite things to do this time of year is get out on the Columbia. In fact, I will be heading out there later today!

If you’ve been thinking about getting your kayak or SUP out, check out Northwest Paddleboarding “Where to Paddle” guide—it’s such a great resource for local launch and take-out spots:

Have you ever watched someone doing yoga on a paddleboard and thought, “That looks amazing… but I could never do that”?

You're not alone.

SUP Yoga isn't about nailing the perfect pose or having rock-solid balance. It's about slowing down, being present, and maybe laughing when you wobble or fall off (because we all do).

I created the SUP Yoga Membership to help you ease into it with zero pressure. You'll learn everything from how to anchor your board to a simple flow you can try on your own, no crowd, no judgment, just you and the water.

Inside the membership, you'll find:
🧘‍♀️ Gentle flows designed for the water
🌊 Tips to help you feel stable and centered
✨ Guided meditations to practice on the water
💛 Learn at your own pace, on your own board

Whether you're looking to stretch your body, clear your mind, or just try something new this season, you might love this more than you expect.

Try out a 7 day free trial.

This is the answer to the question I have been asked by thousands of people. I know that seems like an exaggeration, but I promise you it's not. 😅

It's also my favorite question, and the answer is loaded.

How do I Choose the Right Paddleboard??

Normally, I can ask the right questions to lead you in the right direction. Some of you want a lot more information than others before you buy (and I love sharing, so I can easily talk your ear off about it 😜)

I did my best to create a blog that hits on all the best advice without being too overwhelming. 🤞

I've been working on this one for a couple of weeks now, and every time I come back to it, I make changes, which I will probably continue to do, so I figured I should just put it out there!

Since we no longer have a storefront, you can't come in and demo equipment or purchase from me.

However, I do provide recommendations for some of my favorites, and I'm available to answer any additional questions in the comments or via message. ☺️
