Why we paddle

Set sail with Zen Paddle, founded by the passionate and experienced paddle boarder, Daphne. With a deep love for nature, Daphne created Zen Paddle to offer a unique escape where people can connect and find joy on the water. Our mission is to provide a luxurious yet approachable adventure, allowing paddlers of all skill levels to leave their worries on land and form meaningful connections. At Zen Paddle, we ensure every experience is filled with fun, relaxation, and a sense of community, reflecting our commitment to bringing peace and joy to everyone through paddle boarding.


Behind the board

Our founder Daphne, an avid paddle boarder for years, found a profound sense of peace and connection every time she ventured out on the water. She noticed that her friends, who joined her for these excursions, left feeling rejuvenated and deeply connected to themselves and each other. Realizing the transformative power of paddle boarding, Daphne was inspired to create Zen Paddle. Her vision was to offer more than just a rental service; she wanted to build a community where people could escape their daily stresses and labels, explore nature, and foster meaningful connections.
