Lessons available every Mon., Wed. and Fri. through Aug. 26
YOLO Board announces that actor Ingo Rademacher will be offering both private and group stand up paddleboard lessons in the South Walton area from Aug. 8-26, 2011. Best known for his role as Jasper “Jax” Jacks on General Hospital, Rademacher is a German-born US-based Australian television actor and long-time waterman who enjoys SUP (stand up paddleboarding) in his spare time. Rademacher will offer his fans the opportunity to experience exclusive and personalized one-on-one instruction in either a small group or private lesson. A fan of South Walton, Rademacher is making time for the SUP lessons during his family’s vacation to the area.
“SUP has such a broad audience, and I love that so many people can experience it because of its incredible learning curve for first time paddlers,” explains Rademacher. “While in South Walton for a one month respite between film projects, I saw the unique opportunity to team up with YOLO Board to teach something I’m passionate about and to connect with my fans. SUP is great exercise for so many reasons—it’s a low impact sport that gets people out on the water, and it’s so much fun that you get a workout without even knowing it.”
Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday beginning August 8th and continuing through August 26th, Rademacher will host one hour group SUP lessons for $100 per person. Sessions are limited to five people to ensure an intimate and personalized experience. Group lessons with lunch following the lesson are $200 per person (lunch only is also $200 per person). Paddlers also have the opportunity to schedule private sessions with Rademacher at $350 per person for the first hour and $100 per person for each additional hour. 30A.com (www.30a.com) will be hosting a giveaway via their Facebook page where one lucky paddler will win a private session.
“We’re stoked to have Ingo in the area to share his knowledge and enthusiasm with local paddlers and fans,” said Jeff Archer, Co-Founder of YOLO Board. “Ingo enjoys paddling with his wife and young son, and is a great ambassador for the sport as both an advanced paddler himself and for showing how SUP can truly be a multi-generational family activity. YOLO is honored to have the opportunity to work with him and excited to show him the amazing paddle destinations we have here in South Walton.”
