Our Story
Eager to be outside exploring all the beauty that the Carolinas have to offer Molly, the founder, found herself on her board with her pup every couple of days.
Paddle Carolinas started off as just an idea and it now exists to bring people of all walks of life together on the water, and to build an adventure-driven, welcoming community across the Carolinas. What started with just one board, a pup, and open water is turning into a place where paddlers of all levels can find like minded people. We believe the best days start with fresh air, surrounded by mother nature, and that time on the water slows things down in the best way.
Through organized paddles, respect for the outdoors, and a spirit of easygoing adventure, we’re creating more than meetups — we’re building a movement rooted in connection, confidence, and a little bit of that boots-off, paddles-up kind of freedom.
We are excited to have you here! We hope you join the club and we'll see y'all out there.
