GREGORY MILLER
WASHINGTON DC / MARYLAND / VIRGINIA
Since 1979 when I started snowboarding and surfing, my passion for the water/mountains and rivers has never been greater. Outdoor experiences have been the best life therapy for me and many of my friends too. When I started to go stand up paddle boarding in 2008, the life therapy switch went beyond the next level. It was so awesome to get to be a beginner at something again!
Teaching people how to stand up paddle for the past decade has been the most amazing experience and never gets boring or old to me. Putting together one of the first SUP programs in the Maryland/DC area and becoming one of the first ACA Level 3 instructors has given me the knowledge and confidence needed to give the best quality instruction to our students at PaddlestrokeSUP.
Riding for Earth River SUP has been a dream come true...they actually took my ideas seriously and my "designed by a surfer" philosophy became a big part for me when I was put on the board design team for ERS.

INTERESTING FACTS
THE FUTURE
Even after many years in the sport of sup, my enthusiasm continues to grow. I became a National Park Service Volunteer as a member of the Potomac Paddlers Volunteer Corps to help others understand how precious our National Parks are, to promote water safety and clean water.
I am always coming up with new ways to teach to better myself and my students. The Fun Factor is what it's all about. My current goals with ERS involve it's growth and stoke all over the country. It's really cool to see other parts of this world starting to catch on to our brand and stoke too!

FAVORITE PADDLING LOCATIONS
I love the Potomac River, but it's good to get out in the world to experience other waters, meet other paddlers and share the stoke!
The Rappahannock, James, Gauley, New River Gorge, Catawba, US National White Water Center and the waters in Washington state are some of my favorites. Surf trips to California, Hatteras, Florida, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Baja, Mainland Mex, Fiji and Hawaii are some of my travels.
