Paddle Antrim Festival 2025 complete! 🤙🏼💕
Nearly 42 miles in 2 days. The three of us were the only stand up paddlers to complete the entire route. So thankful for these awesome ladies to inspire me to do this. And this event is so well organized & safety on point. Kudos to the awesome team of staff & volunteers!
A huge challenge & a total blast with fantastic people along some of the most beautiful waterways on earth. 🙏🏼🙌🏻

Absolutely gorgeous morning on East Bay.  Crystal clear water & sunshine right here in NoMI. 💕

We’d like to wish everyone a Safe & Happy Fourth of July. 🇺🇸🎆

If you’re planning to go for a paddle:
- Please wear your leash & PFD
- Check the wind & weather - when in doubt wait it out
- Check the boat & jet ski traffic. If you are a novice paddler, reconsider paddling during high traffic times, especially on a holiday. If you can’t resist paddling, stay close to shore & know your abilities. If you don’t know how to deal with wake & waves, wait until the water is calmer. And DON’T paddle alone.
- Have a device like your phone in a waterproof case/bag & have a hydration pack or water bottle with you.
- Let people know where you are going & when you plan to return.
- Please do not consume alcohol before or during paddling. Wait until you’re off the water.
A well-prepared & safe paddle on a holiday weekend makes for a fun weekend. For more water safety information visit Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project’s page.

What a fun lesson with this quick learning couple! Love it when students ask great questions & diligently try to use the new techniques they have learned. And, we were so fortunate to have very favorable wind & water conditions. Fun lesson with fantastic people.

They now have foundational techniques, safety protocols & equipment education to support their future paddling adventures.

If you have never paddled or are newer to paddling, taking a lesson will help build the confidence you need to make your paddling experience the best it can be.

Wow, what a busy time of year with the end of school! To say it’s a whirlwind is an understatement. But so grateful I was able to share in a celebration for a fantastic group of middle school students moving on to high school. A paddle lesson was a part of the party & I had the privilege of guiding 2 groups of teens for a paddle on a gorgeous evening on East Bay. These kids had loads of personality & took to paddling like champs. I hope to see them on the water in the future. Best of luck moving on to high school & hope you enjoy an amazing summer! Wish I got more pics but wrangling teens requires focus. 😆
If you have a group & would like to add a unique activity to your event or just want a great SUP lesson, we’d love to help you with that. Contact info in bio.
