Welcome back, fellow water enthusiasts! I’m excited to bring you into the fold with an exclusive interview featuring the founder of Aqueous SUP—yours truly. Let’s dive into the origins, aspirations, and personal insights behind Aqueous SUP, a company dedicated to sharing the tranquility, joy, and adventure of paddleboarding with others and our community.
What sparked your passion for paddleboarding, and how did Aqueous SUP come to be?
My passion for SUP ignited years ago when I experienced paddling for the first time on the Columbia River. The tranquility and connection to nature that paddleboarding offered quickly became a cornerstone of my life. I continued learning and growing in the sport until I became a certified instructor teaching courses for the local shop. Aqueous SUP emerged from a desire to continue sharing that passion with others but on a different level—a way to blend adventure, relaxation, and environmental stewardship into unforgettable experiences on the water. It’s a journey that continues to evolve with each stroke and every paddler I meet.
How does Aqueous SUP contribute to the community and environment?
Community and sustainability are at the core of Aqueous SUP’s mission. We believe in fostering a strong sense of community. We strive to create inclusive spaces where individuals can connect, share experiences, and support one another. We plan on engaging with our local community through events, workshops, and collaborations that promote engagement, but also sustainability and environmental stewardship. From organizing shoreline clean-ups to advocating Leave No Trace principles, emphasizing eco-friendly practices and educating on the importance of preserving our waterways, we seek to leave a positive impact on the ecosystems we cherish. Our hope is that through these efforts, we inspire others to become stewards of our natural resources.
What sets Aqueous SUP apart from other paddleboarding companies?
At Aqueous SUP, we’re more than just a paddleboarding company—we’re a community united by a love for the water. Our commitment to quality experiences, personalized instruction, and premium equipment ensures that every paddler, whether a novice or seasoned pro, feels supported and empowered on the water.

What excites you most about the future of Aqueous SUP?
The future of Aqueous SUP holds endless possibilities and we are just getting started. We envision expanding our reach, introducing new destinations and activities, and inspiring individuals of all ages and backgrounds to embrace the adventure, excitement, and joy of SUP. Our goal is to continue fostering a community and provide safe, enjoyable outings that leave you with memories to last a lifetime. I’m eager to see how Aqueous SUP evolves and the impact we can make together in our community.
