Stand up paddling is like hiking or doing yoga on the water. It is a great way to explore the ocean, see wildlife above and below the water, and get in great shape! Stand up paddling will improve your balance, upper and lower body strength, and core conditioning. This team will focus on the basics of getting everyone comfortable standing up and cruising on paddling boards for fun and fitness. As the season progresses, we will do some longer distance paddles. The team will start on Sunday, September 21st at 8am and will meet every Sunday thereafter at 9am and optional Friday social paddle at 9am ($10 - call 805-899-4046 early in the week to reserve a board)
through November 9th, 2008. Special guest coach on October 19th. We are currently looking for an event to train for or we may create our own. Team leader Laura Francis is a veteran MIM member and has participated in the triathlon, cycling, surfing and core conditioning teams. Laura competed in outrigger canoeing for 3 years and has been surfing and doing yoga for 10 years. She is very excited about sharing her enthusiasm for Stand Up Paddleboarding with team members. Get ready to have some fun on the water (and go to coffee afterwards)!
Rental boards are available for Sunday sessions only and are an additional fee of $200 (in addition to the $200 team registration fee) for the 8 weeks. Email laura@ecomotiontravel for board rental information.
