About Us

Ladies Who SUP and Kayak was created to share knowledge, build confidence, and connect women who love paddling across the state of Tennessee. My goal is to create a space where paddlers of all skill levels feel welcome, supported, and inspired to get on the water.

I’ve been kayaking and paddling for over 20 years, exploring rivers, lakes, and waterways in a wide range of conditions and skill levels. Over the years, paddling has become more than just a hobby for me — it’s a way to stay active, connect with nature, and build lasting friendships on the water. Each trip offers a new adventure, whether it’s spotting wildlife along a quiet river, learning how to navigate a swift current, or simply enjoying the peace and beauty of Tennessee’s waterways.

Through decades of experience, I’ve learned that paddling is safest, most enjoyable, and most rewarding when we learn from one another. Understanding river conditions, choosing the right gear, improving technique, or simply gaining the confidence to get on the water — these are all easier when shared with a supportive community. I believe that every paddler, beginner or experienced, can benefit from shared knowledge, encouragement, and guidance.
