About Tim

For the last 14 years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching a diverse array of paddlers in Los Angeles, leveraging my professional development and team management experience to create a unique paddle instruction methodology. My coaching, inspired by the outrigger canoe stroke and adapted for SUP challenges like wind and no rudder, focuses on building paddlers’ core strength, water sense, and confidence across all skill levels.

My mission is to deepen the connections within the paddling community through the empowering and serene experience of Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP). Paddle Method emphasizes control, paddling in various conditions, and harnessing water energy for surfing. Our lessons and excursions aim to improve your water knowledge, fitness, and paddle technique. And create a capable and informed SUP community ready to explore the world’s waterways.

Join us for technique clinics, workout sessions, or a tour to see your skills in action. Each session is designed to strengthen your abilities and confidence and help you progress at your own pace towards a fulfilling SUP lifestyle.

Paddle on! – Tim
