I am 15 years old, but my birthday is Septmeber 28th.  Live on the Great Lakes in Kincardine, Ontario, Canada on the shores of Lake Huron.  We spend lots of time on the water surfing, SUP surfing, wakeboarding, free diving.  There is a local SUP group here called the Husky Fellas and we train in the lake with waves and on our pond with lots of bouy turns.  In the winter all the lakes freeze so we have to do other sports so I play hockey like most Canadians.  I would like to thank all my sponsors and family for thier support.  I am here with my Dad for the week.

This will be my 4th world championship for canada. I like to paddle. Melia and Troy are my kids and they're awesome

Stand-up paddling boarding for over ten years with many races, crossings and endurance events completed. Enjoys outdoor winter and summer sports on snow and water.

Introduced to stand-up paddling nearly ten years ago and actively competing in SUP until 2020. Discovered prone paddling and since 2021 has been fully immersed in this paddle discipline in both competing and training.

Born deaf, Caroline wears cochlear implants that help her hear and doesn’t let her disability stop her from doing what she loves, paddling. She paddled and raced sprint canoe/kayak with a focus on kayak for over 20 years. She dabbled in Dragonboat, Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) and Surfski but didn’t get seriously into SUP until she bought her first 14′ racing board in the summer of 2021. Feeling the speed on a racing board and doing well in her first few races was all she needed to plunge into the sport. Addicted to the dynamic nature of the sport, she loves being in and on the water practicing her SUP skills and playing in the waves. After winning the Ontario SUP Series in 2022 Caroline joined the Speed Freaks Team at Infinity SUP and has her sights on competing internationally. On dryland Caroline has a Hearing Dog Guide named Gracie who wakes her up for practice every morning and alerts her to sounds she misses when there’s background noise like her phone ringing, a person calling her name, kitchen timers and the smoke detector. Gracie also goes to work with Caroline and everywhere she goes. Caroline works full time as a Teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Toronto and hopes to inspire her students to chase after their dreams because they can do anything they want to do!
