The Joy of SUP - The Paddleboarding Sunshine Podcast

Sharing the joy of stand up paddleboarding. Join us for inspiring conversations with dream guests talking about all the health, happiness, friendship, adventure and possibility that SUP brings to our lives. From world endurance record holders to SUP Yoga, SUP with a Pup to SUP Surf, we will hear uplifting stories and fantastic information to help you on your paddleboarding journey. SUP has given our host, Jo Moseley, so much joy, confidence, courage and community since her first lesson in the Lake District in 2016 recovering from a knee injury. She became the first woman to paddle coast to coast across northern England, fundraising and picking up litter, has been in magazines, on the tv, radio and a guest on many podcasts. The film about her journey called Brave Enough - A Journey Home to Joy was launched to critical and audience acclaim in 2021. She has made two short award winning films about paddleboarding and written many articles. Having experienced such happiness and wellbeing, her goal in launching the podcast is to shine a light on the brilliant stories of others in the paddleboarding community and to share valuable ideas with her audience. It is both a thank you letter to everyone who has inspired, welcomed and encouraged her and a love letter to the wonderful sport. At the heart of the podcast is the idea 'We rise by lifting others' and that's what she is here to do - to welcome, encourage and celebrate you in the paddleboarding community. Whether you are dipping your paddle in the water for the first time, want to explore new places or disciplines, or have years of paddleboarding memories, you are in the right place and this is the podcast for you.

The Joy of SUP - The Paddleboarding Sunshine Podcast

Emily Hague - The Killer Whale Trail, SUP in Shetland, RNLI Crew and Being Grateful for the Sea

March 24, 2021 • Season 1 • Episode 14

I am so thrilled to welcome Emily Hague to The Joy of SUP Podcast today. I discovered Emily on Instagram and was so interested in her work with On The Killer Whale Trail.

Emily is a marine biologist, specialising in marine mammals - whales, dolphins and seals. As well as her research, she has a deep care and passion for the sea and all that encompasses it. She is a volunteer lifeboat crew onboard the Anstruther RNLI Lifeboat. She also loves to spend her spare time walking or cycling coastal paths and beach cleaning. She loves getting in the sea itself, whether that’s swimming, kayaking or more recently, paddleboarding!

She is based in the beautiful East Neuk of Fife in Scotland, so mostly paddles around the skerries and rocks within the Firth of Forth. She also shares her wonderful paddles on the Shetland Isles.

Emily runs On the Killer Whale Trail, a social media platform dedicated to adventuring whilst looking for wildlife, with special highlights spotting killer whales in Shetland. She also runs the On the Litter Trail beach cleaning campaign, sponsored by Sea Changers. Through community action and team spirit the campaign collected over a tonne of litter in two weeks (including whilst paddleboarding!).

Emily loves the freedom and sense of adventure that SUP brings. Whilst it can be fun to enjoy with friends, she finds a solo paddle magical, where you can really take time to enjoy the peace and calm that the ocean can bring.

The sea, and all the wonderful creatures that inhabit it, are very close to Emily’s heart which is why she dedicates all her time to researching it, doing beach cleans, educating and encouraging others to enjoy it too.

In this episode we also talk about:

Being a member of RNLI Anstruther crew
How her Mum encouraged her love of orcas by telling her they were in the reservoirs of the Peak District!
