Might not look like much but this was shot 1 month ago at 3.5month postpartum. I’m not sure what’s truly recommended for a pregnant or postpartum woman because I never listened to it anyway.

I just do what my body feels good doing.

I’m most pleased with zero leakage. I’ve always struggled with that. Especially after baby # 1.
But baby 2 and all the work I put in to avoid diastasis has paid off.

Feeling proud of my body.

Strength work has tapered way down as I’ve been racing the last few weeks.

Excited what this winter in the gym could look like with where I’m at right now.

I’m hoping this post finds the women who need to see it.

I’m asking for your help with something that means a lot to me. ❤️
I’m heading to the 2026 World Championships in Sabaudia, Italy and getting there this year looks a little different.

I don’t have sponsors covering the cost of this trip this year, and with a newborn, I haven’t been able to work the way I normally would to fund it myself.

This trip is about so much more than racing.
Of course I want to compete.
Of course I’m chase another medal.

But what I really want is for the world to see that becoming a mom didn’t mean I had to stop being an athlete, chasing big dreams, or showing up for the things I love.

What I really want is to show women how truly remarkable they are.

Last year I raced at Worlds 3 months pregnant. Let’s continue the story of what being an athlete and a mom looks like. Let’s continue the story of what’s possible.

This is a story of empowerment and relatability that pro sports rarely gets to see.

And I’m inviting you to be a part of this journey in 2 ways:

Want to become a better paddler?

1. Sign up for coaching with me!!

You’ll get training, work on stroke technique, build strength and structure to become a better, faster, more efficient paddler.

You’re investing in your goals AND helping me get to worlds. A win-win!

2. Just want to support me?

You can make a contribution directly to my fundraiser. Every dollar helps me get me and my family to Italy.

Both Links are in my bio. I’ll share to stories as well for those of you on FB.

Or comment #SUPcoaching and I’ll dm you more info.

Thank you for believing in me, supporting my crazy dreams, and being part of this journey. 🩵

🇮🇹 Sabaudia, here we come.

Stoked & Grateful,
Seychelle

These last two weekends racing I’ve pulled more hard strokes than I have all year and here’s something that I’ve learned:

My legs get tired, but not sore.
My back gets sore, but not tired.

This is huge because it clearly highlights why we are so prone to over using our backs when paddling. It doesn’t have the same fatigue response as the legs do. It feels easier and it IS easier to paddle with your back!

Using the legs feels harder.
It requires more energy to use larger muscles.
But these muscles are more powerful and they are designed to take the load over prolonged periods of time.
They get tired, but not sore like the back does.

And I don’t know about you, but I’m typically happy when my glutes are sore 🍑👌🏼
and not so happy when my back gets sore. 🪦

Use of legs during paddling is so important for maintaining a healthy spine and longevity in this sport.

Want to learn more about paddling with your legs, paddling longer and stronger while maintaining a healthy spine?

Link to watch the livestreams on youtube in my stories.

I came 2nd in the 10k distance race today.

Felt good to be racing. To remember what it feels like to race. Racing is always such a good learning experience.

Happy how well I can do at only 3.5months postpartum. Definitely not where Id like to be stamina wise. Wishing I had 3 more months until Worlds, but proud of my body and grateful for any and all that I can do right now.

Showing up and doing my best. A baby in tow and another at home. I’m feeling happy and grateful.

I’m looking for someone to rent, borrow, or share a board with. an RST 21 preferably, but I’m open to what I can find.

Please share this with anyone you think might have one and reach out with any leads.

Thank you!

Gratefully,

How far apart should your hands be? Is your grip too wide or too narrow?

Paddle grip width is something that has come up a lot in my current Paddle Master Program cohort so I thought I’d share with you my take.

Too narrow and you lack stability and strength

Too wide and you’re working too hard or deep or your paddle’s too long

I’ve found this trick for measuring “1 arms length” works for most paddlers.

How to tell if it works for you?

Try it.

Bonus if you use a real-time speed device such as a speadcoach and/or take a video of yourself for objective feedback.

Note: This trick won’t work if your paddle is really too long or you’re a beginner.

tip: If you’re working on establishing a new paddle grip width, put a piece of electrical tape around the shaft to mark the hand placement.

Interested in coaching and video analysis, shoot me a dm or comment #SUPstroke to start a conversation.

The way you think you look paddling and the way you actually look paddling are almost never the same thing.
🫣
That gap is exactly why video analysis is one of the most powerful tools in a paddler’s toolkit – Once you can see it, you can fix it.

At my Low Country SUP Training Camp, every participant gets a take-home video analysis and follow -up session — so the work doesn’t stop when camp ends. You leave with footage, feedback, and a clear plan for what to work on next.

Training camp is not just about the hours on the water (though we will have plenty of those and they will be a blast!) — it’s also about actually seeing your stroke change.

📅 Sept 7–10 · Hilton Head Island, SC · 7 spots only
– 3 Left!

Getting faster isn’t about paddling harder,

It’s about power and connection. 💥⚔️

Dedicate time every single session and every single week to specifically working on your stroke technique if you want to get faster.

The best way that I have found to do that is with drills.

That’s why I created the Seychelle SUP app and specifically the Paddle Master + program
