The Global Paddling Community

Host Kristin Thomas chats with champion paddler / athlete, Candice Appleby! Candice Appleby is undoubtedly the most accomplished paddler in the competitive scene. Name every top event in stand up paddle racing, surfing, and even whitewater/river and she has likely won it. With a background in competitive longboarding and swimming, the California native has been a dominant force for sometime now, landing all the more credibility to her respectable standing. And all of that didn't come easy. Through injuries, recoveries, personal challenges and more, she has always returned to put on top-tier performance. But more importantly, she gives back far beyond her paddle strokes. Appleby is the founded and organized a high-profile kids event, has founded a performance paddling clinic, and is one of the most friendly and approachable ambassadors of our sport.
