Paddle Daily is a longtime dream of Betsy Ray that she’s finally bringing to life in 2024. Betsy has been paddling since around 2006, and thinking about starting a paddling media company since sometime around 2012. In 2022, Betsy acquired SUP Racer, a paddling media company targeting the SUP audience. Within the “Paddler Media” umbrella, Paddle Daily covers canoe/kayak racing and SUP Racer covers SUP. Both brands offer high quality, exciting coverage of paddlers, races, and adventures in the UK and globally. Betsy would love to make enough of a salary to cover living expenses, but her big dream is to see paddlesports around the world grow and flourish: everyone should have the opportunity to be a paddler and a paddlesports fan.
