Jo Moseley came to stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in her early fifties as a way to heal her knee after an injury. From the moment she stood on a paddleboard on Derwent Water in the Lake District on 24 September 2016, she fell in love. For the first time in a long time, she felt 'like a warrior not a worrier'. In 2019, she became the first woman to paddleboard coast to coast, 162 miles along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the Aire & Calder Navigation, picking up litter and raising money for the 2 Minute Foundation and The Wave Project. A film about her adventure, Brave Enough - A Journey Home to Joy by award-winning Frit Tam of Frit Films, has been screened at prestigious adventure festivals including the Kendal Mountain Festival, Keswick Mountain Festival and Shextreme. Jo has written two bestselling books: Stand-up Paddleboarding in Great Britain (2022) and Stand-up Paddleboarding in the Lake District (2024). A single mum of two grown-up sons, she lives on the Yorkshire Coast. She loves sea swimming and paddleboarding at sunrise and does a daily 2 Minute Beach Clean. She is an Ordnance Survey Champion and an ambassador for Seaful. www. jomoseley. com@jomoseley
