 He also runs a program called Human Performance Coach to help civilians, military special forces, and firefighters, with physical, mental and spiritual fitness. Ed was introduced to SUP about 2 years ago, and like all of us became addicted to the sport.  Being a Veteran himself, he almost instantly knew this sport could benefit Veterans, especially those returning home with post traumatic syndrome.

Ed Naggiar Founder of SUPV

Stand Up Paddling has such a therapeutic effect  it can help veterans rehabilitate.  Ed believes SUP and his  Human Performance Coach concepts combined will change a veterans life.  They are also working with Speedboard USA who is developing a board for paraplegic veterans. Ed is hoping this SUPV program will become Nation Wide, and is working hard to get funding and support.  Hovie SUP Boards have provided some boards, and Sweet Water Wear has provided a logo jersey.
