Get to Know Julie
JULIE JENKINS or MISS J as her camp kiddos call her, has an UNDENIABLE THIRST & PASSION for NATURE, in all of its ELEMENTS
I started with kids' sessions and horses, teaching riding for 28 years. I enjoyed being off the grid with the horses at Rancho Oso, a Dude Ranch in Santa Barbara. I had wonderful experiences with AA groups and sober living homes, taking residents out to enjoy nature, hiking, horseback riding, swimming, and campfires.
Blue & Green Spaces
I LOVE the OCEAN and have paddle boarded daily for years, wrestling the wind in harbors, lakes, and the open sea. With Southern California's winds here to stay, I aim to work with Mother Nature and teach kids to co-exist in our environment while using current technology. Together, we focus on healthy habits and caring for our Harbor by cleaning it each session. This is what co-existing means to me.
Best NO IMPACT Core Workout
Free Intermediate to Advanced Open Water Workout: Endurance paddling and strength training. Join us on the meetup app! Prolonged standing can cause knee pain. Dressing for paddling can be tricky—stay warm without overheating and safe. LEG compression sleeves aid knee pain, plantar fasciitis, UV protection, and warmth. Photo Credit: Nick Haro
Why this company?
As a paddle boarder focused on fitness, I wanted to wing with my SUP or paddle surf, but local companies refused. To address this, I've developed a diverse program with various watersports and land activities for beginners in small groups. Smaller groups allow us to coexist during our beach programs.
What to Wear SUPing
3/2 is the usual wetsuit for paddle surfing here. If air and water temps together exceed 120, skip the wetsuit. If they are below 120, wear one for safety (e.g., water at 55 and air at 78 = 133, no suit needed). Skip cotton; it soaks up 27 times its weight in water. Don't wear loose cotton clothes—they make it hard to climb back on your board and can be unsafe.
