2020 #ShePaddles Ambassadors Announced
May 01, 2020
We are excited to announce the #ShePaddles Ambassadors for 2020!
The Scottish Canoe Association is delighted to be part of the British Canoeing #ShePaddles Ambassadors programme
this year.
By teaming up with British Canoeing
and Canoe Wales, we have chosen ten inspirational women from the world of Paddlesports. The #ShePaddles Ambassadors will be pivotal in promoting paddling and encouraging more women and girls to get on the water!
Jessica Philip
Jessica is one of the #ShePaddles Ambassadors and from Scotland.
Through her work as an outdoor instructor she has come across many people who have enjoyed and benefited from paddling. Jessica feels lucky to have a great bunch of female paddlers to go out with but knows others don't and is looking forward to connecting with more female paddlers online to help them.
She paddles a wide range of boats and her most recent project is to learn to white water SUP.
