The Joy of SUP - The Paddleboarding Sunshine Podcast

Sharing the joy of stand up paddleboarding. Join us for inspiring conversations with dream guests talking about all the health, happiness, friendship, adventure and possibility that SUP brings to our lives. From world endurance record holders to SUP Yoga, SUP with a Pup to SUP Surf, we will hear uplifting stories and fantastic information to help you on your paddleboarding journey. SUP has given our host, Jo Moseley, so much joy, confidence, courage and community since her first lesson in the Lake District in 2016 recovering from a knee injury. She became the first woman to paddle coast to coast across northern England, fundraising and picking up litter, has been in magazines, on the tv, radio and a guest on many podcasts. The film about her journey called Brave Enough - A Journey Home to Joy was launched to critical and audience acclaim in 2021. She has made two short award winning films about paddleboarding and written many articles. Having experienced such happiness and wellbeing, her goal in launching the podcast is to shine a light on the brilliant stories of others in the paddleboarding community and to share valuable ideas with her audience. It is both a thank you letter to everyone who has inspired, welcomed and encouraged her and a love letter to the wonderful sport. At the heart of the podcast is the idea 'We rise by lifting others' and that's what she is here to do - to welcome, encourage and celebrate you in the paddleboarding community. Whether you are dipping your paddle in the water for the first time, want to explore new places or disciplines, or have years of paddleboarding memories, you are in the right place and this is the podcast for you.

February 25, 2022 • Jo Moseley • Season 3 • Episode 6

I'm thrilled to welcome Caroline (Caz) Dawson founder of SUP Lass Paddle Adventures to The Joy of SUP podcast.

I discovered Caz on Simon Hutchinson's podcast SUP fm and we met when I was researching my book in 2021. Caz is an accomplished SUP Instructor and Adventure Guide with a passion for all things outdoors.

Located on the edge of the Clwydian Range AONB, SUP Lass have access to the majestic River Dee, the world famous Llangollen Canal, plus lakes and coastlines.

Caz holds a huge breadth of qualifications and accreditations through Water Skills Academy:

WSA Water Safety and Rescue, WSA Ocean Navigation, WSA Adventure Guide, WSA Adventure SUP-er Trainer, Leave No Trace Trainer, WiSe Accredited Adventure Operator WRT Pro Rescue 3 Technician, RYA Marine Radio Short Range Certificate, REC Level 4 Expedition First Aid, BC SUP Sheltered Water Award, BC Mentoring in Water Sports.

In 2021, Caz became the 2nd fastest female to complete the GB SUP Series Great Glen Challenge on an iSUP. She has also taken on the Trent 100 team race and notorious 'Swellies Challenge'. For 2022 she has set her sights on the new Loch Awesome Challenge and the Trent 100. Caroline recently paddled the Dee bore covered by BBC Wales.

Adventure Cooking
Caz used to run the award-winning outdoor kitchen 'Fodder in the Field', where local and seasonal ingredients were served up in a range of wild locations, including mountain tops and forests. Caz is currently in the process of developing her SUP + Cook workshops, which she will be launching in spring 2022. When Caroline is not on the water, she is an Agri Food Consultant, supporting food and farming businesses across the UK develop their businesses and identify new markets.

Caz loves her trusty Kelly Kettle and treat clients to a secret recipe hot chocolate or mug of hearty soup.

Caz is a longstanding judge for the Great Taste Awards and a global mentor for Women in Food and Agriculture.
