About the Owner

Although Emily jokes that her hometown is Orlando, she actually originated from West Lafayette and then made a pivotal move to Noblesville in her twenties. After she married her husband, Ryan, in 2018, they joined their lives in the little town of Cicero, IN where she accumulated two boys and a dog while he accumulated two cat companions. Throughout the years, activities at the lake have become more than just a family love, but a lifestyle. Little did Emily anticipate that, years after moving to the lake town, she would also be building a business in the place she now proudly calls home!
 
Beyond moments by the lake, she shares a deep appreciation for the finer things in life—food, adventure, and travel. Whether it involves discovering new destinations, revisiting her cherished "hometown", or embracing fresh skills and activities, she maintains an unwavering enthusiasm for every experience that comes her way. Her adventurous spirit is a testament to her open-minded approach to life, always eager and ready for whatever exciting opportunities arise.
 
Emily's passion for paddle boarding started at the age of 19 when, during a vacation visiting family in Bonita Springs, Florida, she rented her first board. Captivated by the experience, she has been hooked ever since! Her paddle board journey has taken her to diverse locations, spanning multiple spots in Florida, the tropical landscapes of Belize and Aruba, as well as the shores of Cozumel, where she underwent professional training. Yet, of all the places, it's the waters of Morse Lake that hold a special place in her heart as the most significant backdrop for her paddle boarding adventures and now business!
 
Yet, make no mistake – if you're acquainted with her, you'll know her passion for coordination. The meticulously chosen colors and designs of the handpicked boards are a testament to her passion for harmonizing every aspect. The hope is that these boards not only resonate with you but also inspire the perfect outfit – one that you may already have or possibly can't resist buying. It's not just about the boards; it's about curating an entire experience that aligns with your style and makes every paddle boarding session a unique adventure. 
"Because we're no longer sitting still, looking pretty...we're Standing Up Pretty!"
