About Jaecey Suda
My passion for SUP and an invitation from board shaper Jimmy Lewis to do a “real downwinder” brought me to Maui. By halfway through the world famous Maliko downwind run I was hooked. There is something about being offshore in moving and grooving water that makes my soul sing. From that first run, I have felt comfortable and at home offshore, in the wind and waves.
Whether it is a beginner lesson, or an advanced downwind technique session or helping somebody catch a wave for the 1st time, I feel so grateful that I have the opportunity to introduce others to this fulfilling sport on this beautiful island. I thoroughly enjoy sharing both my professional training and personal experience with my clients and have worked diligently to formulate methodologies to compliment individuals abilities and learning styles.
My main goal is to help create a community of safety-conscious and stoke-filled paddlers! I look forward to providing you with More Watertime.
