Hitting the standup paddle board racing circuit by storm, Seychelle has made a name for herself in 2 short years.  Only picking up paddleboarding 3 years ago, she has worked with coaches and implemented an incredibly focused training schedule and nutrition regimen to achieve elite performance.  Seychelle is currently ranked in the top 10 women standup paddle board racers in the world.
