Meet our new USA SUP Coordinator, Gail Kotowski

We are thrilled to have a well known member of our SUP community joining us as our first part time hire, serving as our 'Coordinator'. Gail's flexibility, skills, experience in our sport and positive attitude make the perfect person to help us keep USA SUP rolling & growing!  Thank you, Gail - we're lucky to have you. 

   

A little bit more about Gail directly from the source:

I grew up surfing in the frigid waters of Hull,MA.The friendships and bonds made as a Hobie grom are still very dear to me. As my over-skied knees impaired my surfing ability, I discovered Sup paddling in 2010

and became hooked on paddling and racing. The same community that was missing from my youth was found again .

The gathering of the tribe at paddle events just warms my heart.

My legal career was even inspired by my love for surfing ! I helped advocate/lobby for a dedicated surf area at Nantasket Beach to be set aside by state legislation because our town would not. 

After a life long career as a divorce/bankruptcy lawyer, I was looking to become involved with an organization that has a positive mission.

The position as Coordinator for USA SUP opened up and I knew this would be a perfect fit. What better way than helping a national organization that promote's my favorite sport. I truly want to see USA SUP become the National voice for the fastest growing sport and community. 

I look forward to meeting our members and promoting our mission and events. Please keep sending your news, events and pictures either by social media messenger or email contact@usasup.org or  Gail.kotowski@usasup.org.
