About – Tell us a little bit about yourselves and/or the owner/s
My mom and I own SUP Marble. I, Jaime, first learned to Stand Up Paddle Board in La Ventana, Baja California in the Sea of Cortez. Since then, I have SUPed on the Colorado rivers and lakes. Cyndi, my mom and I became very interested in SUPing about 5-6 years ago. We both attended the PSUPA (Professional Stand Up Paddle Board Association) Flat Water Level 1 Training hosted by Shaboomee. Now we love our business called SUP Marble, Jaime is currently teaching Flat Water Level 1 PSUPA lessons and SUP Yoga through Breath on Board (Lindsay Gonzalez). Both mom and daughter are passionate about promoting a “Voyage to Tranquility” through paddle boarding.

We are located in the Crystal River Valley. A pristine nook on the Western Slope of Colorado. Marble is the name of our little town. My parents have lived there since 1996 and they have traveled there as kids. I started hanging out in Marble when I was still in middle school. Beaver Lake has an amazing Mountain behind it called White House Mountain. The lake is beautiful during every season!
