More than 25% of the world's population are physically inactive (World Health Organization 2018). Physical inactivity can increase risk of obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, osteoporosis, fall, depression & anxiety.

Furthermore, 9.5 hours or more a day of time spent sedentary (sitting) has been shown to increase risk of pre-mature mortality. The good news is that 24 minutes/day of moderate to vigorous intensity exercise maximally reduces the risk of premature mortality (Ekelund et al 2019).

Together, we are creating a program to bring stand up paddling to those living with a neurological condition.

was born out of combined desire to offer something different to those in the community with a neurological condition to build confidence, fitness, strength and balance in a fun and unique way.

Her smile says it all really.
Yesterday Katie used the exact same technique to pivot turn a board, but she was sitting down.
Katie also stood up on a board with support and used her core strength to move the board in four directions.
Standing on a board is not always the goal, but Katie was determined yesterday and we made it happen.
Incredible stuff Katie 💪🏻
