What helps me more than anything is helping you become a better paddler.

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.

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?

🥇Sprints
🥇Distance
🥇 Tech
4 month old baby girl in tow. Folks it truly takes a village. I first want to thank all the women who watched, held, and offered to help with baby Z this weekend. I may have travelled solo, but I was fully supported by this community 🤗
Thank you to my family and to @supmamakt2 for encouraging me and making sure I was able to make this trip a reality.
It’s the first trip big with baby 2. And Honestly I have been so overwhelmed with logistics and life lately, I was not planning on coming.
Thank you to @backyardescapee for use of your camper.
Thank you to @usasupofficial @narrows_challenge and @visitgigharbor_official for an amazing event!!
I’m sure there are more to thank. (This mama is beyond exhausted. And so so so happy!)
Life is wild.
Life is precious.
Life is fast
and Life is beautiful.
I am Grateful that SUP continues to be a part of it all.

And all the volunteers!

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.

Day 1 @lowcountry_boil_paddle_battle presented by @olukai. First race 3.5 months postpartum. Stoked it was sprints.
I’m not exactly where I want to be for the World Championships coming up next month, but it felt good to be on a start line. To be showing up and doing my best as an athlete, a coach, and a mom of 2.
Tomorrow is the distance race and that will be the real test of where I’m at right now.
Excited to push myself.
Stoked to be here.
Grateful for all this body is able to do. (Sleep or no sleep 😝😜😵💫)

Sometimes the thing truly holding you back isn’t your equipment or your fitness —It’s your technique.
The way you think you look paddling and the way you actually look paddling are almost certainly not the same — unless you do regular video analysis.
That’s why personalized feedback can be so powerful.
When you can actually see what’s happening in your stroke, you can make the changes that move you past a plateau.
If you feel like your paddle progress has stalled, coaching can be the missing piece.
Book a complementary coaching call with me and let’s chat about what’s holding you back.
Zero obligations. I’ll answer your questions and leave you with resources whether we decide to work together or not.

“Motivation is usually retrospective. It shows up once you’ve already taken action.”
You don’t have to feel motivated before you start. Sometimes, the first step is simply showing up.
Take the paddle. Do the drill. Start the workout. Keep the promise you made to yourself.
The action creates the momentum—and the motivation often follows. 🌊💪
What’s one small action you can take today? Comment below 👇🏼

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.

Call me delulu, but I want to make a go of it at Worlds this year only 4.5 months postpartum… and I need your help!
I don’t yet have a board to ride in Italy.

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!

“To be powerful, you need to understand where power truly comes from in the body.” 💥
Power isn’t about muscling through every stroke. It’s about learning how to connect your whole body, use proper mechanics, and transfer that energy efficiently into the paddle.
When you understand how your body creates power, you can paddle stronger without simply working harder.
🌊 Want to improve your stroke and learn how to generate more power?
📩 Comment #Power or dm me and I’ll send you the link to read my latest SUP blog on power.
We can chat about coaching as well 🙋🏼♀️💥
🤙🏼&🙏🏼,
Seychelle
#standuppaddle #suptraining #paddlefaster #seychellesup …
Power isn’t about pulling harder.
It’s about using the strongest joint in your body — your hips.
If your shoulders and back are doing most of the work, you’re leaving power on the table (and usually inviting strain).
Part 2 of my SUP Stroke Series blog breaks down how to generate real power — safely and efficiently.
The full blog is out now. Comment #Power and I’ll dl you link to read it.

Here`s what`s actually inside the Low Country SUP Training Camp:
🏄♀️ 9 hours of on-water coaching = $600 value
🎯 1 hour private 1:1 session = $390 value
🎥 Take-home video analysis + follow up coaching session = $250 value
🎁 Entry to win a Pink Tiger fin = $175 value
🤸♂️Epic fun, friendship, camaraderie
+ A coach in your corner for the Paddlefest!
+ Actual progress and improvement in you SUP performance
= $ invaluable
That`s $1,415*** in value.
And that`s before we even talk about the experience itself — paddling together on the beautiful tidal marshes of Hilton Head Island, improving paddle stroke technique and performance, race strategy for the Paddlefest course and for all of your upcoming paddle events! And a group small enough (just 7 spots) that this is real coaching, not a crowded clinic.
What I want to highlight here is the 1 hour private 1:1 session as well as the take home Video analysis & follow up session.
More 1:1 time with me.

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.

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.

Stop going for the same paddle every time trying to get faster.
This works initially, but once your body adapts to the same routine, repeating it over and over can keep you stuck in the same place.
Growth happens when you give your body a reason to adapt again—through new challenges, intentional training, and the right stimulus.
If you’ve hit a plateau, maybe you don’t need to work harder. Maybe you need to train differently.
