Meet the Instructor
Hey! I'm Claudie
Founder + Owner + Flat Water SUP Instructor
Born & raised in Quebec… I moved to the Rockies in 2011 and fell in love with the landscape & nature!
WHAT DO YOU LIKE?
I love being with my family & friends, pushing myself, crazy ideas, people, laughs, dancing, food, being in nature & having fun… and don’t forget Paddle Boarding…Haha
WHAT’S YOUR SUP JOURNEY LIKE?
I was first introduced to SUP in 2013 and it was a love at first try. Of course, life got in the way, and it was only at the end of the Summer of 2020 that I owned my first board. 2021 was a lot of learning but was awesome: the freedom, well-being, and calmness I felt, and the people I met…but after the summer, I needed more challenge. Everything changed in 2022, my world surrounding SUP exploded and I embraced it all; I experienced river SUP, and SUP racing & was part of an amazing SUP community. All my free time was on the SUP; I was thinking about SUP 24/7… I know insane!! And then came 2023, the opportunity to become a SUP Instructor..What do you want me to say?!? I jumped right in!! and 2024, the opening of my school.
When I look back on my SUP Journey, It’s crazy how I learned so much about myself; always have been more of a “behind the scenes” kind of personality. Paddleboarding helped me gain confidence, self-esteem, adaptability, perseverance, and to follow my gut feelings.
WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?
My goal with the SUP school is to help and make this water sport available to as many people as I can. I hope they can discover a new passion and valuable life skills, and of course, have a good time! A personal objective I have is to train and race the 715 km of the Yukon River Quest and why not other wild SUP races around the world.
