Our Story

Stand and Paddle was first started by its former owner back in 2012 and provided paddle tours and outings to individuals and groups in the Bluffton and Lowcountry.  

In 2018, Rachel joined forces to bring a new and unique SUP fitness class to the area.  

End of summer 2019, after two successful seasons of Paddle Fused Fitness, Rachel was provided the opportunity to take over Stand and Paddle. 

Since then Stand and Paddle has evolved to offer not only it's signature guided paddle tours and SUP fitness classes, but SUP Lessons and Coaching, SUP and Paddle Surf Retreats and SUP Training Camps, Local Meetups, and a SUP Racing School.

In December of 2023, Rachel headed down to Nosara, Costa Rica to start Stand and Paddle SUP and Paddle Surf School where she introduced Stand up paddle boarding including SUP Lessons and Coaching, Paddle Surf Lessons, SUP and Paddle Surf Retreats, a SUP Race Training Program, and SUP Community for Locals.

Stand and Paddle continues to provide stand up paddle boarding and paddle surf services and experiences in both Bluffton/the Lowcountry, South Carolina and Nosara, Costa Rica as well as provide hybrid and mobile options to travel to your location within the U.S.
