Sea Dog Paddle

Sea Dog Paddle Paddle Board Coach, WPA SUP Instructor, PaddleFit trained. Michigan summers, Florida winters. Training tailored to You.

Offering certifications, rescue training, private and small-group coaching, technique refinement, and destination classes. Sea Dog Paddle
After guiding tours in Fort Myers Beach as Sea Dog Eco Tours, I shifted the focus to what people were already calling us — Sea Dog Paddle — dedicated to coaching, certifications, and helping paddlers elevate their technique, confidence, and credentials. I’ve offered SUP certifications since 2017 through Sea Dog SUP Nation, building a strong community of skilled paddlers. My coaching roots come from being personally trained by world-class waterman Brody Welte, founder of PaddleFit, and serving as a PaddleFit Pro Coach since 2013. I am a certified WPA SUP Instructor and Safety Trainer through the World Paddle Association, ensuring every session blends technical skill-building with proper safety standards. As a lifelong sailor, I bring extensive experience reading tides, wind, and shifting conditions, helping paddlers feel truly prepared on the water. My background as an EMT and firefighter adds essential rescue knowledge — a key part of teaching effective, real-world safety and recovery techniques. I offer:
• WPA Instructor Certifications (since 2017)
• Paddleboard Rescue Training
• Private & small-group SUP coaching
• Technique refinement & performance paddling
• Destination classes by request
• Michigan summers + Florida winters + destination locations

Every session is tailored to you — your goals, your pace, and your path on the water. My coaching combines technical training, safety expertise, and on-water experience so every paddler develops real confidence, capability, and readiness for any adventure. When I’m not on the water teaching or coaching, you’ll find me sailing, traveling, creating my own art, and designing clothing for my husband’s Indigenous Formline Art, . I also write, design, and consult on websites for small businesses, updating SEO and marketing—especially for those in water sports and eco-tourism—through my company, www.sailawayhosting.com In the summer, I’m based in Michigan near my grandchildren, and in the winter, you’ll often find me in Florida, prepping our sailboat for adventures sailing the Caribbean.

Seven years, countless paddles, and a couple of unforgettable manatee moments 🐾💦. From our adventures with Sea Dog Paddle in Fort Myers Beach, here are two of our favorites.

This teenage manatee was flirting with me! Priceless moments...

Another encounter I’ll never forget—the granddaddy of all manatees gliding through Matanzas Pass. He was as wide—or wider—than two paddle boards, his tail split many times, barnacles living on his back. It all happened so fast, and I was completely in the moment, unable to capture a video. He never surfaced again—just that one breathtaking moment in front of me. Like a manatee the size of an elephant… which makes sense, since they’re distant relatives. 🐋💙

"I'm the 2024 100-meter sprint World Champion for stand up paddle board and I am the fastest woman in the world right now, so that’s pretty awesome,” said Paris in an interview with WZZM 13 in Ludington, Michigan.

"Her victory wasn’t just a dream; it was a statement. She's spent nearly a decade training on the water, pushing her limits with every race."

Watch my friend Katniss in the video interview below:

🌊🚀 Meet my friend Katniss – the fastest women’s sprint paddleboarder in the world! She’s training hard and raising funds to represent on the world stage at the World Championships in Dubai next year.

I had the honor of traveling with her recently in Michigan where she raced alongside the SS Badger car ferry – pure grit and determination in action. 🏄‍♀️💨

Let’s help get her to Dubai! Every donation brings her one stroke closer to the start line. 🙌

Thank You for 7 Amazing Years of Paddle Boarding Adventures! To everyone who joined me with Sea Dog Eco Tours—thank you for an unforgettable 7 years of sunsets, dolphins, and shared memories on the waters of Fort Myers Beach, Bonita Springs Dog Beach and beyond. 4 hurricanes have changed my path. It was so fabulous being in the moment with all of you and introducing so many people to paddle boarding; setting you all up for success on your next paddling adventures!

While my tours have come to a close, I will continue to the mission to certify World Paddle Association (WPA) Instructor Certifications, rescue training, and private SUP coaching.

I will be offering select dates during my summer's in Michigan for my SUP sessions, as well at other destinations by request (or wherever my travels take me. If you’re in Naples and still want a paddle boarding adventure, I’m happy to connect you with my friend Jodi, Jodi Ziajka who offers private tours and SUP yoga by reservation through her company Buddha Voodoo Yoga.

As for me, I’ll be focusing more on sailing, traveling, art and design projects for Kingsawin Designs, and spending time with amazing husband James Reed, my kids and grandchildren—while still being available to certify new WPA instructors and provide custom training by request. -- Mahalo, Sheree Lincoln
