Paddleboarding meditation; you are fully present. McCue and partner John Riggio are co-owners of and instructors for Wahe SUP, Fitness and Yoga, and Eastern Shore Yoga. McCue has been doing some form of stand-up paddling since she was 14 in her Huntington Beach days. In 2011, she got her first official SUP board (a gift from Riggio) from Ryan Hickey at Easton Cycle and Sport. She was already a yoga instructor, and Hickey encouraged her to pursue leading SUP yoga. In 2012, McCue became a certified SUP instructor through Paddlefit, with training and certification in Wrightsville Beach, N.C., which hosts the Caroline Cup, one of the biggest SUP races on the east coast. McCue and Riggio teach private lessons, group classes, and SUP yoga, based out of Royal Oak. They have a f leet of rental boards and boards for sale, and through a Facebook group, Eastern Shore SUP Community, they help organize weekly group paddles. “For people starting out, I am really big on teaching proper form and technique,” McCue said. “That is probably the yoga teacher in me.” Many of the weekly paddles from Eastern Shore SUP take place in the Bay Hundred area of Talbot County ~ Royal Oak, St. Michaels, Claiborne, and Tilghman Island.
