Brenda Low 1

 

Jan 11, 2018

Ever wonder what it’s like to be abandoned on a remote island in the middle of nowhere… with nothing… with people you don’t know… Or filming a movie with two of Hollywood’s biggest names… or even having the opportunity to paddle your way around amazing locations across the globe?

Brenda Lowe has done all of the above! So, when you’re at the show, take your opportunity to talk with her and learn about her experiences as a paddle sports enthusiast, being part of the Baywatch move, and being a castaway on Survivor… twice!

Brenda started paddle boarding back in 2009 when she was first introduced to the sport, and founded Paddleboard Miami in order to connect others who were just as enthusiastic about the sport as she was. This group later turned into one of the first stand-up paddleboard rental delivery services in Miami when the sport was just in its infancy in South Florida.

Brenda’ reality television career started in 2010 when she was chosen to be a contestant on Survivor: Nicaragua, which was an “unbelievable experience”. During the season she maintained tight alliances, smart social gameplay and physical competence but was eventually targeted for being perceived as having too much power.
Three years later, Brenda returned to the famed reality TV Show for Survivor: Caramoan – Fan Vs. Favorites, where she placed higher than her first time playing (and being runner-up for the ‘Sprint Player of the Season’ award.)

 

Through her acting career, she has appeared in many national commercials and even landed a small role in Baywatch: The Movie.

Nimbus 365 Coupe – A real long-stay cruising boat for exploring

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
