Over the next four months, the duo experienced strong winds, freezing temperatures, and aching muscles as well as beautiful beaches, personal growth, and an ever-growing thirst for adventure as they paddled down the East Coast. Upon landing in Miami—in addition to raising $16,000 for charity—their epic journey earned them the coveted “Top Expedition” award at the 2016 SUP Awards.

Tell us about your background with SUP.
LH: I started standup paddling five years ago working at The Manhattan Kayak Company (MKC) in Manhattan. When I began working the company did not have an official SUP program, but when they launched it the next year I got in on the ground floor and grew with the program.
JG: I was always into watersports. I started rowing at a very young age back home in Buenos Aires, then took up kayaking when I moved to NYC where I became an instructor and guide. In the summer of ‘07, we bought a couple of boards from C4Waterman and got them shipped from Hawaii and it all evolved from there.

Jelly sweets – a favourite source of sugar among many cyclists – have become turbocharged with these Extreme Sport Beans from Jelly Belly.
Sometimes, out on the road during a long ride or sportive, the body craves a hit of simple sugars. For me, having a stash of jelly sweets, or taking advantage of jellies on offer at fuel stops, means I can get these sugars on board easily, with the spike of energy a welcome and tasty relief from fatigue.
Jelly Belly has taken this principle and added extra caffeine and vitamins B1, B2, B3 and C to aid energy release, and potassium and sodium to give you the boost of electrolytes you need for optimum muscle function.
