About this event

  • 2 hours 30 minutes

SUP Witches?! Come dressed as witches while we paddle the river and soak up all the magic to bring in Autumn!

We will be launching from Bumper's Landing this year. Attendees need to sign a waiver in advance, must know how to swim, and wear pfd's (personal floatation devices) and leashes for their water craft.

We will paddle up river and then down river. This is a leisure paddle but keep in mind that the current of the river can be challenging for beginners. Paddlers need not go the entire route and can head back to Bumper's landing as they are ready to claim their drink ticket!

This is a limited ticket event to ensure space for vehicle parking and ease of launch and exit. The ticket price gets you a drink ticket upon return, raffle ticket for cool prizes and glowsticks to light up you or your board.

Check in begins at 5pm and launching at 5:30pm. Please allow time to prep your equipment if bringing your own gear. This is an all levels paddle and easy/fun route.

***Back up date of Tuesday should weather or wind be a concern. Unfortunately we cannot refund tickets but you can transfer to a friend should you not be able to make the event for some reason. We will do everything possible to make Monday work but safety is the number one concern for our participants.

BIO:

Julie Miller, MA, LPC is a licensed counselor, an athlete and an all around promoter of women's health and empowerment. She has 16 years experience in the fitness industry, providing group fitness instruction at Lifetime Fitness and also has worked for 25 yrs in education, with 22 of those years as a counselor.

She fell in love with the water and watersports at a very young age-- think waterskiing on her dad's shoulder at the age of 4! She continued to grow her love of watersports from water-skiing into surf, SUP, kayaking, and foil boarding. In the past 10 years, paddle boarding has expanded greatly as a passion for her as she continued into the world of racing, SUP surfing and SUP yoga. Recently, she became a brand ambassador of SIC Maui boards and loves the community and comradery that company and brand brings to her life!

Over the years, Julie continued to engage more and build more in the area of girl's and women's empowerment in her counseling practice and personally. In her own journey, Julie found that in launching herself into her wildest dreams of travel and adventure, and pushing herself outside of her comfort zone, that her own self love and confidence grew more immediately than other means or methods. As she began to share her passion and adventure with friends, she saw that this also translated and happened with others. So she dreamed of expanding this concept to a platform to help other women learn, grow, love and support themselves and one another in the process.

It's easy to see that the passion held for fitness, wellness, education and personal growth has led her to pursue sharing her love in a fusion format called UPLIFT! In winter 2020, Julie launched Uplift Adventure Retreats and she has many exciting ideas and projects on the horizon.
