MICHELLE HOLLY
BELGIUM
I began whitewater kayaking in 2011 and immediately fell in love with the thrill of running rapids, the peace of being out on a still, quiet morning, and the phenomenal paddling community.
I got into stand up paddling in 2013, and learned to river surf from a great crew of paddlers on the Potomac River. My favorite river surfing spots on the Potomac include Rocky, Offut, and the Chutes. When back home in the DC area, I love to run the gorge and surf, or take new paddlers out on wide water and share my passion for being out on the water. I am currently exploring the rivers and lakes around Belgium, and while there isn’t much whitewater, paddling alongside 15th century castles isn’t too shabby, either.

THE FUTURE
I'm planning a stand up paddleboarding excursion on the Norwegian fjords in 2019, and look forward to exploring more of the flatwater and whitewater that Europe has to offer! In the long term, I would love to work more with adaptive paddlesports to help share the stoke and make paddle boarding accessible to a wider audience of adults and children.
