Candice Appleby

Candice is the winningest female SUP athlete in history. Her awards constitute an amazing achievement. But the legacy she’s carved is of a warrior who’s committed to excellence in her craft and perseverance through all life’s challenges.

Candice loves working with up-and-coming SUP athletes, because teaching them not only allows her to impart the skill and knowledge she’s acquired as an elite athlete, but to learn new things from her students as well.

While it’s great to help adults reach their goals, the future depends on youth. In life, as in the sport of stand-up paddling, there’s no tomorrow without the next generation.

As Candice observes, “Everyone needs someone to encourage them. Sometimes all it takes is one person to believe in you, to give you the courage to believe in yourself. I remember the people who encouraged me along the way. Without them, I’m not sure where I would be today.”
