Episode 28
SUP Racing World Number 2 - April Zilg
April Zilg has an amazing story, morphing from a couch potato to serious contender. Coming second in the Stand Up Paddle world in 2019 cements that thinking. We have huge admiration for anyone who rips their life around in such a wonderfully positive way. Listen to her first forays into paddling in the Carolinas, USA, her subsequent success at the Carolina Cup and many other races.
We dig deep into the Red Bull Heavy Water Challenge off San Francisco and touch on some race training, which she is REALLY good at by the way. Check out April Zilg on Instagram and her own site is filled with really good tips, techniques and great stories and opinions: www.aprilzilg.com
Get inspired, she really brings it and is fun too!
