Meet the team

Body Boat Blade has had the privilege of working with coaches and paddlers from around the world, learning from a wide range of styles, traditions, and coastal environments. This symposium brings that global experience together in one place—uniting a passionate team of coaches who share a love for the sea, thoughtful instruction, and growing our paddling community
