Happy New Year SupConnectors!

SAN DIEGO, California - As 2013 begins and each stand up paddler sets goals for what they would like to accomplish this coming year, remember to keep SupConnect a part of what you are doing!  Our primary goal is to connect stand up paddlers and unite the SUP world. So no matter what your goals may be, both big and small, please keep SupConnect on your list of friends to inform.

Perhaps your 2013 goals include setting a new SUP distance record, or beating last year's world record for the largest stand up paddle clinic ever conducted.  Maybe you just got your first board and hope to enter a race or SUP surf your first wave.  It's very likely that many will desire to lose a little weight and tone up some muscles.  Others may want to actually gain weight with muscle mass and qualify for their first Battle of the Paddle final.

These and many other goals are exciting and the SupConnect team not only wishes you the best in your endeavors but truly encourages paddlers across the globe to share your news.  Please send all inquiries and happenings about SUP in your community to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  Our team will gladly respond and help keep our stand up paddle community in sync in 2013.

Together let's make this a phenomenal year!
