The Joy of SUP - The Paddleboarding Sunshine Podcast

Sophie Witter - SUP LEJOG, Fundraising World First, Living with Anxiety + Avocado + Coriander

Jo Moseley Season 3 Episode 8

I am so thrilled to welcome Sophie Witter to The Joy of SUP Podcast. 

Sophie is one half of SUP It and Sea UK, the first pair to paddleboard from Land's End to John O'Groats in 2021. Sophie and her partner Dave are now hiking back to Land's End! 

Sophie is a Celebrant and Mumma to her Cat + Teddy Bears.

Having spent many years living a life that didn’t feel like hers and struggling with her anxiety and depression, Sophie is on a journey to take on the adventures she has always dreamed of as well as fulfil dreams she never knew she harboured, whilst still learning how to manage her mental health. 

Sophie aims to remain open and honest about her mental health especially the challenges they present on expeditions and hopes that by sharing her journey she can encourage, support and inspire others to give their adventure or dream a go. 

We all need a reminder including Sophie that you don’t have to be superhuman, a superstar athlete or 100% ready (is there such a thing) to have an adventure or fulfil your dreams. 

Equipment

  • Paddles - Blackfish Salish and Andaman sourced from Gareth at Get on the Water who helped replace our boards
