Music City SUP Race
It is less than one month until our big local SUP event: the Music City SUP Race. This race, which includes both two-mile and six-mile courses, is a true community event. Nashville Paddle Co. is one of many local sponsors of this race, which is held right downtown on the Cumberland River in Riverfront Park.…
Tech Support
Sometimes even good changes can be challenging. That’s been the case with our transition to our new Zen Planner online reservation system. This system allows us to automate a lot of our features, collect digital signed waivers to reduce paper, and helps us serve more Nashville Paddlers. But it has not been a smooth transition.…
Clean Up at Drake’s Creek
On Saturday, June 14, 2014 we’re teaming up with the Cumberland River Compact and Paddle Adventures Unlimited to pitch in with a clean up on Old Hickory Lake. We’ll be there from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. and will bring a few SUP boards and mesh bags (courtesy of TWRA) so that you can get on the water and help…

Trash Talk
Our friends at PaddleSouth posted a picture of the trash they collected after a paddle today. Talking about broken bottles and discarded lures isn’t exactly our favorite topic of conversation. But, the reality is, particularly on urban waterways, we find garbage. And as a company, our mission is to donate money and support organizations that…
Assessing the Risks
I was saddened to hear about the drowning of Karl Savio Pimenta-Pereira, a 28-year-old paddleboarder who died while paddling on Lady Bird Lake this weekend. Of course, I’m sad when anyone dies tragically, particularly when it is connected to SUP. But this hit close to home, not because I knew him, but because I was…
Paddlefest 2014
We’re excited to kick the SUP season off again at the Cumberland River Paddlefest on Saturday, May 3, presented by Paddle Adventures Unlimited. It takes place on Old Hickory Lake (876 Burnett Rd., Old Hickory, TN 37138). This is a totally free event (free parking, free demos, free music), where you can demo SUPs, kayaks and canoes,…
Giving Tuesday
It is a funny week, with the little names for the all days: Black Friday (and now Black Wednesday and Thursday, too), Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday. Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, which is a push to get folks to think about their end-of-year philanthropic gifts during the holiday season. I’m of two minds about Giving…
Thank You
We love the folks who have gone on this Nashville Paddle journey with us, not just learning to paddle, but working for the watershed (raising funds for the Cumberland River Compact) and exploring Middle Tennessee. We hope that you know all year long how grateful we are for your passion and trust and senses of…
