Special FloYo Class
One of the most fun things about SUP is meeting the amazing people who are involved with it. In January, when we got PaddleFit certified, we met Baltimore’s Jessie Benson. Next Sunday, April 28, she’ll be a special guest in Music City. With our own Liz Vehyl, Benson will be teaching one of her sought-after…
Cumberland River Paddlefest
For the first few years when we paddled around Nashville, people looked at the boards on our cars and asked us where we were going surfing. Kayakers and canoers had their events and the few SUPers we knew had theirs. But things are different now. People shout “paddleboards!” or “YOLO!” when we drive by. We…
Paddle with the Mayor
Nashville Mayor Karl Dean is a big supporter of the area’s waterways and watershed, it is one of the things we like best about him. (He’s long been a supporter of the Cumberland River Compact and the Cumberland River Dragon Boat Festival.) So, we are stoked to join TSRA, Metro and others for a…
Get Out!
The outdoor temperatures this weekend were finally warm enough that we could hit the water for a few paddles—four miles on Saturday and another four on Sunday. It felt great to get out there, even if the water on Percy Priest Lake was just 47 degrees. One of the fishermen we passed said the fish…
TWRA Boating Safety Course
If you are born before January 1, 1989 or if you are sticking to your SUP when on the water, you aren’t required by law to take the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) Boating Safety Exam. The certification is designed for folks operating motorboats and PWCs (aka Jet Skis) on the state’s waterways. But some…
Cabin Fever
Today was a “snow day” in Metro Nashville, which meant while most of the white stuff melted before noon, public schools were closed, and it decidedly was not paddling weather. Earlier in the week it was 60 degrees warmer. But there were 105 mile an hour winds that day, so, again, not SUP weather. To…
Florida Road Trip
We snuck away from Nashville for a few days in January for a trifecta of great paddling activities. The first two days of the week Margaret got PaddleFit Level 1 and Level 2 Certified, along with Liz Vehyl of Nashville Power Yoga. This is a great professional program that helped refresh some technique issues, practice…
Safety First
We’ve had an usually warm winter in Middle Tennessee. We paddled on Thanksgiving and Christmas hiked on New Year’s! No complaints here. But when the sun comes out in winter, we get questions about availability of rentals. Are we open? Are we teaching? The answer is: It depends. No one wants to paddle more than…
