On August 20th, I paddled 36 miles across the Cape Cod Bay to raise money for Christopher’s Haven, a place where families can live while their children are being treated for cancer at the Boston Children’s hospital.

2011 Battle of the Paddle Hawaii
The last time I was in Hawaii I was living out of a tent, hiking around the Kalalau Valley on Kauai, showering under water falls, and picking fresh lilikoi for lunch…..so staying in a high rise hotel in busy Wakiki was a little different experience! This was my first year competing in the Rainbow Sandals [...]
Boardworks Stand Up Round Up
Finally a sprint event! My athletic background is sprint swimming, running around center field, and stealing bases in softball so the Board Works Stand Up Round Up was a blast for me! The event started with a 5K qualifier, and then ten 100m paddle sprints in a knockout style. The final sprint had an added [...]

Stand Up Paddling Cape Cod
I love Cape Cod oysters. I was already daydreaming about them on my flight back to my home state of Massachusetts. No lemon. No cocktail sauce. Just the perfect taste of the shellfish and the salty water of the North Atlantic. All of my favorite memories are from this arm shaped peninsula in the southeast [...]
HOW-TO start Standup Paddle Boarding
A very quick summary to get you started Stand Up Paddle Boarding! First, you’re going to need a board. A beginner board should range anywhere from 10-12’6, with the width being at least 30 inches. The longer the board, the more stable it is, but less maneuverable in the surf. Next you need your paddle. [...]
