Happy Daylight Savings! Would you like to stop observing daylight savings? Florida is a candidate! We are a step closer to living up to the nickname “The Sunshine State.”

I am so proud to be a member of such an amazing SUP community. Last month we raised money to adopt six families in Puerto Rico after the hurricane Maria devastation. And tomorrow morning we strike again: this time raising money for the Special Olympics Athletes of 305 SUP and for the Youth Sailing Foundation. SUPtheworkout is a co-organizer in all these efforts and we are just so moved by the response of the people, to give, to help, to support. We are so grateful for your contributions, thank you to all!

A SUPer fun event with an awesome group of people for Puerto Rico: we adopted 6 families and we will soon have the photos of the people who received our donation. In the meantime... enjoy this:

What a beautiful day to be on the water! 🌴💦

People are not born paddlers, they become paddlers. I love witnessing this process. To be completely honest, this process is sacred to me! Usually it takes two to four months of commitment. Then, on a windy day like today, when you think that the flags will get ripped off their poles and you know that any regular person would go backwards on a paddle board, you see the paddlers on the beach getting ready. And those people are not extremely strong or great athletes or what you may imagine a person to be, to go out and stand up paddle board in conditions like that, but those people are paddlers. It means they got the bug! It means there is no turning back. They get out there and give it their all. Conviction, determination, poise and off they go. It’s another awesome workout outside in the elements enjoying an absolute sense of freedom and accomplishment. Are you a paddler? Do you feel this way?

This is how we do Endless Summer in Miami.

Out with the crew! Slowly but surely Miami is recovering from hurricane Irma. Water access is still not fully restored and the debris has not been completely collected. But the weather gave us a break this weekend so we jumped to the opportunity.

Please share: Our event Endless Summer #3 for tomorrow Wednesday will be postponed to next Wednesday due to the extremely windy conditions. Looking forward to seeing everyone next week, in the meantime, some upwind downwind training is in order.
