Meghan Fisher from Fayetteville, WV took her passion for the outdoors and watersports and turned it into her career. Meghan is a ACA Level 1 and 2 SUP Instructor and Instructor Trainer Candidate. She decided to start her own business, Mountain Surf Paddle Sports with two main goals in mind: To make Stand Up Paddleboarding more professional in the area and promote an active, outdoor lifestyle through Stand Up Paddleboarding.
She wanted there to be a paddleboard company in WV that gave quality instruction so people could learn to efficiently, confidently, and safely paddleboard; so she made it happen. She has also found a way to make paddleboarding a year-round gig, by working with Quark Expeditions in the winter months leading paddle bearding trips in Antarctica.
