About SUP Coronado

The crew at SUPcoronado is made up of a select group of individuals that share a passion for the water, surfing and Coronado.  We all got hooked on the sport of Stand Up Paddle surfing and regardless of whether you're looking to go on a one time tour or you want to be out surfing everday, we'd like to be the people that introduce you to the sport

Meet the Instructors

  • Instructor

    "Coach" Vicki

    Vicki "Coach" Carson is the founder of SUPcoronado.com.  A native Floridian, Coach Vicki made her way to Coronado several years ago and has been SUP'ing ever since.  Not only has Vicki become an expert on Stand Up Paddle surfing but she's become somewhat of an aficionado on the history of Coronado and the local ecology.  Her SUP tours are always very popular because there's never a dull moment

  • Instructor 

    Teevan McManus

    Teevan is the founder of the Coronado Surfing Academy which has been in operation since 2003.  Coach Vicki approached him about SUPcoronado and after she taught him how to Stand Up Paddle he was hooked.  As of late you're more likely to see Teevan out on his Stand Up Paddle Board than on his regular surfboard. 


  • "Tia" Crystal

    Crystal's been teaching SUP on and off for years. After recently graduating with a degree in Environmental Science, she's finally settling in for more permanent SD residence. Don't be surprised to see her collecting trash throughout the bay on your paddle. Bonus points if you help..
