Author Information

Jo Moseley came to stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) aged fifty-one and knew immediately it was something very special. She’s built a reputation as a speaker, is the host of The Joy of SUP – The Paddleboarding Sunshine Podcast and has a regular column in SUP Mag UK called Paddleboarding for Good. In 2019, she became the first woman to paddleboard coast to coast, picking up litter and fundraising for the 2 Minute Foundation and The Wave Project. A film about her journey, Brave Enough – A Journey Home to Joy has been shown at prestigious adventure festivals. She has spoken at a Royal Geographical Society event and at Southampton Boat Show to encourage more women into paddleboarding. After publishing her first bestselling book, Stand-up Paddleboarding in Great Britain, in 2022, Jo jumped at the chance to share her experiences of paddleboarding in one of the best places in the UK, and where she took her first lesson, resulting in her latest book, Stand-up Paddleboarding in the Lake District. @jomoseley
